| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Columbia and Boone County: panel systems engineered for hail, spring straight-line wind, humid summers and ice, installed over high-temperature synthetic underlayment with proper ventilation and detailed flashing for a 40-60 year service life. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for Columbia homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to loosen as Missouri's wide temperature swings expand and contract the roof every day. Superior wind resistance and a durable reflective finish. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of hail-bruised shingle or end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and repaired where moisture has crept in, then a complete new metal system installed. Some insurers offer discounts for impact-rated roofs, so ask yours. |
| Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit) | From $7/sq ft | A new metal roof installed directly over your existing asphalt shingles, with no tear-off, less waste and lower cost. Popular on Columbia's 1950s-70s brick ranches with a single sound shingle layer. We check deck condition first and tell you honestly when tear-off is the better call. |
| 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 spring thunderstorm becomes interior damage. |
| Metal Roof Leak Repair | From $450 | Priority leak response for metal roofs, with leaks traced to their true source (failed fasteners, seam separation, flashing gaps, pipe boots and chimney transitions) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after storms. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Columbia's hot summers and cold snaps expand and contract metal roofs hundreds of times a year, so screws back out and aged washers crack on older exposed-fastener roofs. Oversized screws and UV-resistant washers fix it for a fraction of replacement cost. |
| Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing | From $5.50/sq ft | Exposed-fastener metal roofing (corrugated, R-panel and 5V), the budget-friendly workhorse for machine sheds, barns, workshops, carports and farm buildings across Boone County. Quality panels in durable colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures that keep out wind-driven rain. |
| Metal Shingle Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Metal shingles that deliver the look of architectural shingles, slate or shake with the lifespan of steel, a favorite for Columbia homeowners who want hail resistance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, walkable and wind-rated for spring storms. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish, with excellent hail and wind performance, a fire-resistant surface, and profiles that mimic the shake and slate looks common on Columbia homes. Quiet in a hailstorm compared with bare panels. |
| Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing | From $20/sq ft | Copper, zinc and aluminum roofing for accents, porches, bay windows and full architectural roofs: premium metals that develop a living patina and last a century. Custom fabrication for the fine details older Columbia homes call for. |
| 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 10-15 years, restore color and cut summer heat gain without replacement. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys, dormers and brick transitions, the number one leak point on Columbia roofs. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Hail-impact and wind-uplift upgrades for metal roofs: heavier-gauge panels, extra fasteners at edges and ridges and reinforced closures, important where Missouri supercells arrive every spring and winter ice storms stress eaves. Honest guidance on whether yours needs them; heavy snow is not the issue here. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of hail, straight-line wind and 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, hail dents, coating wear and a straight answer on remaining service life with 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 panel profiles and downspouts that carry sudden spring downpours away from foundations on clay soil, with details that handle oak leaves and seed debris. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, machine sheds, workshops, churches, carports and light commercial buildings across Boone County, from Rocheport and Hallsville farm buildings to Columbia shops and warehouses, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |

- Accessibility and roof height : Difficult-to-reach roofs, steep pitches, or multi-story homes may require additional safety equipment and labor, raising the overall price.
