- How much do metal roofs cost? – Most metal roofs are not an off-the-shelf roofing material. Plus the installation procedures vary from structure to structure. For instance, a home with a 3/12 pitch is easier for our installers to work on therefore labor costs will be less expensive. A home with no valleys, chimneys, skylights, or dormers will also be less expensive. An important thing to consider is all the benefits.
