Roofs are integral to the overall health of your family home. Getting a roof replacement, whether it is due to damage or a proactive or aesthetic replacement, is one of the most costly home improvement projects a homeowner will need to face. Let’s take a look at what a new metal roof costs in Houston.
Average Cost of a Metal Roof in Houston
The average cost to install a metal roof in Houston is between $13,000 and $30,000 depending on a variety of factors including your roof’s size, complexity, and height. You can generally expect to pay between $650 and $1,200 per square to install a metal roof in Houston. The average cost for a new metal roof in Houston is around $17,500.
Roof Size Impacts the Cost of New Metal Roof Installation
The size of your roof will be the most important factor in determining the cost of your new metal roof installation in Houston. Roofs are measured in a unit called “squares,” which are equal to 100 square feet. Merit Roofing & Construction will take precise measurements to provide you with an accurate estimate, but you can use the footprint of your home to calculate the rough size of your roof and get a general idea of the cost of your new roof installation.
- 10 square roof: $6,500 to $12,000
- 15 square roof: $9,750 to $18,000
- 20 square roof: $13,000 to $24,000
- 25 square roof: $16,250 to $30,000
- 30 square roof: $19,500 to $36,000
- 35 square roof: $21,750to $42,000
Specific Material Affects Cost
Here at Merit Roofing & Construction, we offer two different types of metal roofing materials. Which one you choose will impact your overall cost.
Corrugated Metal Roofing
Corrugated metal roofing is the oldest type of metal roofing. It continues to be a viable option for many homeowners, as it is more durable than asphalt shingles, but comparable in price.
Standing Seam Roofing
Standing Seam metal roofing is more durable than corrugated metal roofing. If you are looking at metal roofing, you can’t get a better product than this material. The main downsideL it costs, on average, about double what you would pay for a corrugated roof. While the up-front costs may be higher, the longevity and maintenance costs of this roofing material make this a real contender.
Other Factors That Impact New Metal Roof Installation Costs in Houston
Roof Pitch and Height
The pitch, or slope, and the height of your roof both play into the overall cost of a roof replacement. This is due to the fact that different safety measures are needed to ensure the safety of our roofing professionals. With a steeper roof, or a roof that is higher off the ground, we need to implement more safety measures.
Roof Complexity
Another factor is the physical shape and complexity of your roof. This is directly tied to the amount of time the roof replacement will take, with all the different cuts and installation processes needed to make sure your complex roof is fully sealed and ready for any weather challenge nature can throw at it.
New Installation or Replacement
One factor that many don’t think about is the difference between a new construction roof and a roof replacement. If this is a roof replacement, you will need to factor in the cost of demolition and clean-up of your old roof and the new installation. If this is a new construction home build, you won’t need to worry about those costs.
