A standing seam metal roof in Westchester County runs $14–25 per square foot installed in 2026 — $28,000–55,000 for a typical 2,000 sq ft roof, tear-off included. Exposed-fastener metal panels are cheaper at $9–14 per square foot but need their screws re-sealed over time. Asphalt on the same house runs $12,000–25,000, so metal is roughly double up front and lasts two to three times as long.
The number moves with panel material, gauge, finish, and how many planes, valleys, and penetrations the roof has — metal is fabricated, not just nailed. Every Summit Roofing Co quote is a fixed written price after we have measured the roof; these are the ranges projects actually run across Westchester County.
| Line item | Typical range | What drives it |
|---|---|---|
| Panels, clips & fasteners | $8–14 per sq ft | 24-gauge steel with a PVDF finish is the residential standard; aluminum for coastal exposure adds $2–4 per sq ft. Snap-lock costs less than mechanically seamed. |
| Labor & on-site forming | $5–9 per sq ft | Roll-forming panels to length, hemming, seaming, and installing — skilled work priced by the complexity of the roof. |
| Tear-off, deck repair & underlayment | $3,000–7,000 | Full strip to the deck, plywood repair per sheet, and high-temperature ice-and-water membrane across the entire roof. |
| Trim, flashing & snow guards | $2,000–6,000 | Custom-bent eave, rake, ridge, and valley trim; chimney and skylight flashing; engineered snow retention where the roof sheds onto walkways. |
| Permits & disposal | $500–1,500 | Municipal permit and dumpster. |

Galvalume steel is the default inland. Within a couple of miles of salt water, aluminum is the right material and adds $2–4 per square foot — cheaper than replacing rusted steel in year 15.
A simple gable roof is mostly straight panels. Hips, valleys, dormers, and skylights all mean more trim, more cutting, and more labor per square foot.
Snap-lock 24-gauge covers most homes. Mechanically seamed panels or 22-gauge for low-slope or high-wind roofs add cost and performance.
PVDF (Kynar 500) finishes cost more than SMP polyester and carry 30–40 year fade warranties. On a 50-year roof, the better finish is the right buy.
Standing seam runs $14–25 per square foot installed — typically $28,000–55,000 for a 2,000 sq ft roof with tear-off. Exposed-fastener panels run $9–14 per square foot.
Over 50 years, yes: one metal roof replaces two to three asphalt roofs, with no tear-off and disposal each cycle, lower cooling loads, and insurance discounts with some carriers. If you plan to sell within five years, asphalt is usually the better number.
Standing seam for a home you plan to keep. Exposed-fastener panels cost 30–40% less but rely on thousands of gasketed screws that need attention over time.
Yes. Financing is available on every metal installation, and the fixed written price means the amount you finance is the amount you pay.
