| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Grand Rapids and Kent County: panel systems built for lake-effect snow load and winter freeze-thaw, installed over ice and water membrane at the eaves and valleys, with proper attic 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 West Michigan homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to back out through the cycle of deep cold and humid heat, and a smooth surface that sheds heavy lake-effect snow cleanly. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of worn shingle, 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 Grand Rapids ranches and Cape Cods. 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 hail-dented or punctured panels, resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before a freeze-thaw winter 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 | West Michigan's swing from deep winter cold to humid summer heat expands and contracts exposed-fastener roofs all year, so screws back out and washers crack. Oversized 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 Kent County and the fruit belt. Quality panels in durable colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures that keep out wind-driven snow and rain. |
| Metal Shingle Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Metal shingles that give the look of slate, shake or architectural shingles with the lifespan of steel, a favorite for Grand Rapids homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, interlocking and wind-rated for summer storms. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish, with strong hail and wind performance and profiles that echo the shake and slate looks seen on Grand Rapids' older neighborhoods and lakeshore-area homes. |
| Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing | From $20/sq ft | Copper, zinc and aluminum roofing for porches, bay windows, towers, dormers and full architectural roofs: premium metals that develop a living patina and last a century. Custom fabrication for the fine details on Grand Rapids' 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 restore color 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 Grand Rapids roofs, where snow and ice sit against every roof penetration. 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 West Michigan's lake-effect snowbelt, where a smooth panel can release a whole slab of snow 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 hail, wind and thunderstorm 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 wear 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 spring 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 and light commercial buildings across Kent and Ottawa counties, from fruit-belt barns near Sparta and Cedar Springs to Wyoming and Walker shops, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
