How much does a metal roof cost compared to asphalt shingles?

A metal roof usually costs more upfront than asphalt shingles but often costs less over its lifespan because metal lasts longer and carries strong warranties. The higher initial price comes from premium metal materials, specialized installation, and precise flashing work.

Our crews regularly install metal systems in the Barton Creek area, so we see that lifetime value improve when roofs face hail, wind, and Texas sun. On complex roofs, labor for seams and custom flashings can outweigh the metal itself. We provide free estimates, and final pricing is confirmed after an on-site evaluation.

  • Key cost drivers to expect:
  • Roof size, pitch, and number of planes/valleys
  • Metal type (standing seam, metal shingles, stone-coated steel)
  • Tear-off needs, decking repairs, and underlayment upgrades
  • Flashings, gutters, and any code or HOA requirements
