Metal roofing pricing can be complex, so CountBricks provides a detailed breakdown. A typical 2,500 ft² gable roof with two dormers in Metro-Boston averages:
• $6.50–$7.25 per ft² for 24-gauge Kynar-coated steel panels
• $1.10 per ft² for high-temp ice-and-water membrane
• $2,200 total for custom bent trim, ridge caps, and snow guards
• $3,800 labor, including tear-off, disposal, and installation
The CountBricks AI estimator uses live data, ensuring your proposal updates with market conditions.
While the initial investment may seem high, the 40- to 70-year lifespan of metal roofing offers significant savings over time. Reduced maintenance, lower energy bills, and potential insurance discounts contribute to a 6–10% higher resale premium in Greater Boston.
• Choose a light or cool-rated color to enhance solar reflectivity
