In Columbus, metal roofing prices typically range from $5.50 to $20 per square foot for installation, while repairs often start around $450, depending on the material, roof complexity, and scope of work. Factors like roof size, pitch, accessibility, and whether you choose standing seam, corrugated panels, or stone-coated steel all influence the final cost. We believe in transparent pricing, so you know what to expect before we begin.

| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for Columbus homes, carports and farm buildings: panel systems chosen for Georgia heat, humidity and thunderstorms, installed over a high-temperature synthetic underlayment with proper attic ventilation, careful flashing and details built for decades of summer sun. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for Columbus homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, so there are no exposed screws to loosen as Georgia heat expands and contracts the roof every day. Strong wind resistance and a cool reflective finish. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of sun-baked or hail-bruised shingle and end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and any moisture-damaged boards repaired, then a complete new metal system installed. Ask your insurer whether an impact-rated roof earns 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 Columbus brick ranches. We check deck condition and moisture 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 panels dented by hail or fallen limbs, resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before the next thunderstorm 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 wall transitions) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after severe summer storms. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Columbus's hot days and cooler nights expand and contract metal roofs constantly, so screws back out and sun-baked 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 homes, carports, barns and workshops across the Chattahoochee Valley. Quality panels in reflective cool-roof 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 Columbus homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, walkable and rated for hail and storm wind. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish: strong hail and wind performance, good fire resistance, and shake and tile profiles that suit Columbus brick homes and historic streets. |
| 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 generations. Custom fabrication for the fine details of historic Columbus homes. |
| Metal Roof Coating & Painting | From $2.50/sq ft | Restoration of sun-faded, chalking, algae-streaked or surface-rusted metal roofs: cleaning, surface prep, rust treatment and high-performance reflective coating systems that extend roof life, 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 Columbus roofs when a thunderstorm drives rain sideways. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Columbus rarely sees snow, so snow guards are almost never needed here. What matters on a Georgia metal roof is edge and ridge securement against storm wind, and reflective finishes that cut heat gain. Honest guidance on what your roof actually needs. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of hail, straight-line wind and fallen limb damage to metal roofing: thorough documentation with photos, 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 and UV 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 summer cloudbursts away from brick walls and red clay foundations, with guards for pine needles and magnolia leaves. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, pole sheds, churches, carports and light commercial buildings across the Chattahoochee Valley, from pecan and cotton-country farm buildings to shops and warehouses, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
What Affects the Price
- Roof size and complexity : Larger roofs require more materials and labor, and complex designs with multiple valleys, hips, or penetrations increase installation time and cost.
- Material type : Standing seam, copper, and stone-coated steel cost more than corrugated panels due to material expenses and specialized installation techniques.
- Accessibility and roof pitch : Steep roofs or those with limited access may require additional safety measures and equipment, adding to labor costs.
- Condition of existing roof : If removal of old roofing or structural repairs are needed, this adds to the overall project cost.
