| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Providence and Rhode Island: panel systems with coastal-grade finishes and fasteners for salt air and nor'easter wind, installed over ice and water membrane at the eaves and valleys, with proper ventilation, correct flashing details and a 40-60 year service life. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for Providence homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws for salt air and freeze-thaw to work loose, a smooth surface that sheds nor'easter snow cleanly and strong wind resistance. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of worn shingle, slate, cracked or end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and any water-damaged boards replaced, then a complete new metal system installed. Ask your insurance carrier whether impact-rated roofs qualify for a discount. |
| Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit) | From $7/sq ft | A new metal roof installed directly over your existing asphalt shingles: no tear-off, less waste, lower cost. Popular on Rhode Island Cape Cods and ranches. We check the deck first and tell you honestly when tear-off is the better call, especially after years of ice-dam moisture. |
| Metal Roof Repair | From $450 | Repair of damaged, loose or storm-hit metal roofing: replacing wind-bent or punctured panels, resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before a freeze-thaw winter or a nor'easter turns a small gap into 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 ice-dam backup at the eaves) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after storms. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Salt air and Rhode Island's swing from freezing winters to humid summers work exposed-fastener roofs hard, so screws back out, corrode and washers crack. Oversized corrosion-resistant screws and UV-resistant washers fix it for a fraction of the cost of replacement. |
| Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing | From $5.50/sq ft | Exposed-fastener metal roofing (corrugated, R-panel and 5V), the budget-friendly workhorse for garages, barns, workshops and cottages across Rhode Island. Quality coastal-grade panels in durable colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures that keep out wind-driven rain and snow. |
| Metal Shingle Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Metal shingles that give the look of slate, shake or cedar with the lifespan of steel, a favorite for Providence homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, interlocking and wind-rated for coastal storms. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish, with strong wind performance and profiles that echo the cedar shake and slate looks seen on Rhode Island's historic homes and shore cottages. |
| Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing | From $20/sq ft | Copper, zinc and aluminum roofing for porches, bay windows, cupolas, dormers and full architectural roofs: premium metals that develop a living patina and stand up to salt air for a century. Custom fabrication for the fine details on Providence's historic homes and churches. |
| Metal Roof Coating & Painting | From $2.50/sq ft | Restoration of faded, chalking or surface-rusted metal roofs: surface prep, rust treatment and high-performance coating systems that extend roof life and fight salt-air corrosion without replacement. Best on sound panels, with an honest answer if yours is past saving. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys, dormers and wall transitions, the number one leak point on older Providence roofs, where brick chimneys and steep gables meet nor'easter rain and snow. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Snow guards and rail systems for metal roofs: a real need in Rhode Island, where a nor'easter's wet snow can release from a smooth panel all at once onto entries, driveways and gutters. We place them where they matter and explain the ice-dam fixes that go with them. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of wind, hail and coastal 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 salt-air corrosion, and ice-dam damage at the eaves, with a straight answer on remaining service life and 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 the panel profile, snow guards placed above them, and downspouts that carry snowmelt and coastal downpours away from the foundation and out of freeze-thaw trouble spots. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, workshops, churches, garages, mill buildings and light commercial buildings across Rhode Island, from Woonsocket and Pawtucket mill-city shops to Tiverton and Foster farm buildings, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |

- Extent of damage or repair needed : Minor leak repairs cost less, while extensive storm damage or full replacement adds to the overall expense.
