| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Salinas and the Salinas Valley: panel systems built for strong valley winds, coastal fog and winter rain, installed over synthetic underlayment with proper ventilation, careful flashing and details for a 40-60 year service life. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for Salinas homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to back out under daily valley wind, plus strong wind resistance and a cool reflective finish. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of worn shingle, tile or end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and repaired, then a complete new metal system installed. Metal is a popular choice for wind-exposed valley lots and ember-prone hill properties. |
| Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit) | From $7/sq ft | A new metal roof installed directly over your existing asphalt shingles, with no tear-off, less waste and lower cost. Popular on Salinas post-war ranches. We check deck condition first and tell you honestly when tear-off is the better call. |
| Metal Roof Repair | From $450 | Repair of damaged, loose or wind-hit metal roofing: replacing dented, lifted or punctured panels, resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before winter rain becomes interior damage. |
| Metal Roof Leak Repair | From $450 | Priority leak response for metal roofs: leaks traced to their true source (failed fasteners, seam separation, flashing gaps, pipe boots and wall transitions) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available during winter storms. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Salinas Valley's daily afternoon winds, sun and fog cycles move metal roofs year after year, so screws back out and sun-baked washers crack on older exposed-fastener roofs. Oversized screws and UV-resistant washers fix it for a fraction of replacement cost. |
| Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing | From $5.50/sq ft | Exposed-fastener metal roofing (corrugated, R-panel and 5V), the budget-friendly workhorse for homes, garages, barns, packing sheds and workshops across the Salinas Valley. Quality panels in reflective colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures that keep out wind-driven rain. |
| Metal Shingle Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Metal shingles that deliver the look of architectural shingles, slate or shake with the lifespan of steel, a favorite for Salinas homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, walkable and wind-rated for gusty valley afternoons. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish, with excellent wind performance, a Class A fire rating, and profiles that mimic the clay tile and shake looks common on Salinas Valley homes. |
| Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing | From $20/sq ft | Copper, zinc and aluminum roofing for accents, porches, bay windows and full architectural roofs, premium metals that develop a living patina and suit Salinas Victorian and Craftsman homes. Custom fabrication for the fine details. |
| Metal Roof Coating & Painting | From $2.50/sq ft | Restoration of sun-faded, chalking or surface-rusted metal roofs: surface prep, rust treatment and high-performance reflective coating systems that extend roof life, restore color and cut warm-day heat gain without replacement. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys, dormers and stucco transitions, the number one leak point on Salinas Valley roofs. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Salinas has no real snow, so this service is about wind security: uplift-resistant fastening along eaves, rakes and ridges for the strong valley afternoon winds, plus rail and edge hardware over steep entries. Honest guidance on whether your roof needs any of it. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of wind, falling-limb and winter storm damage to metal roofing: thorough documentation with photos, an honest assessment of repair versus replacement, and help documenting your insurance claim from inspection to completed work. |
| Metal Roof Inspection | Free estimate | Complete metal roof inspections for homeowners, buyers and insurance requirements: fastener condition, seam integrity, flashing, coating and UV wear, and a straight answer on remaining service life with a written report. |
| Gutters for Metal Roofs | From $9/linear ft | Seamless gutter systems sized and mounted correctly for metal roofing: hangers that work with panel profiles and downspouts that carry winter downpours away from stucco walls and foundations, with details that handle eucalyptus and oak debris. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for packing sheds, cold-storage buildings, barns, workshops, churches and light commercial buildings across the Salinas Valley, from Alisal ag-industrial blocks to Castroville and Gonzales farm buildings, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
What Affects the Price
- Roof size and pitch : Larger roofs require more materials and labor, while steeper pitches increase installation time and safety requirements, raising the overall cost.
- Material type and gauge : Standing seam, corrugated panels, stone-coated steel, and copper have different price points. Thicker gauge metal and specialty finishes also add to the cost.
- Accessibility and roof complexity : Multi-story homes, difficult terrain, or roofs with many penetrations (chimneys, skylights) require extra labor and safety measures, increasing the price.
- Removal and disposal of old roofing : If your project requires tearing off existing shingles or metal, the added labor and disposal fees will be reflected in your estimate.
