Got a price for a standing seam metal roof for the beach bungalow. According to their measurements, 1300 sq ft, remove existing cedar shake and install new metal for $17,000. Over $1000/square. What prices do you guys see for this type job. Metal is .032, hidden fasteners with Kynar paint. Should last 50 years at least so may be worth it.

I spent about $300 per square for aluminum shingles on my house, 18 squares total. I also spent lots on plywood to resheath the whole thing. This was materials only. I did all of the work myself. Standing seam steel I think is cheaper for the materials. The labor involved in mine would have probably put it around your price. It probably depends a lot on what prep work they are including in that.
Got a materials estimate from KSB Roofing, materials only, 1200 sq ft ranch, 4/12, hip ends, interlocking ceramic tile-look panels.
Just under $10k for the metal to do the job. Still need wood batten strips.
Tear off and re-roof including labor would probably come in around $25k.
50 year transferrable warranty, 120 mph wind rating.
I spoke with the roofing contractor yesterday. Said he quoted Aluminum because steel, one block from ocean, would not last. Said he could probably come down a little, maybe a $1000. Got to think about it.

I got a quote for standing seam a couple of months ago, on new construction, 15 square, some 12/12 some 6/12, Kynar painted material with all trims, 24 ga. $700/sq, 26 ga. $600 sq. Licensed contractor, etc.
Got another quote for materials only, same job, 24 ga. corrugated with Kynar paint, panels and all trims plus freight, about $260/sq.
where did you get the materials price from? they sell direct?
mtlsales.com
They mostly want to sell thru lumberyards and roofing suppliers. That's where you should probably go to get materials quotes.
Was that for hidden fastener or exposed? I'm assuming those are installed prices.Birth, school, work, death.....................

The standing seam prices were furnished and installed. The corrugated was materials only and would be exposed fastener.
Metal Sales 24 ga "verticale seam" kynar panels run me $200/sq plus tax, freight, trims, and fasteners. On a complex roof, my real material cost can run nearly $400. Installation runs about $250/sq. Custom fabrications probably run $15-$20/sq. I'd have to charge $1030/sq minimum to show a profit.Birth, school, work, death.....................

i can't answer you're question but "seeyou" on this site does metal roofing for a living. he has his site on one of the threads. might be able to help.

alot of people use steel by the ocean with no problem, steel is galvnise with 30 year warrenty.. 2+3=7
That doesn't surprise me- especially with the tearoff of the cedar. You've got to figure that at least $2k or so is going just to tearoff labor and dumpsters. Then you've got to look at possibly either re-sheathing the whole roof, or infilling between the skip sheathing to support the metal. There's another $2-3k. The metal work itself here in NJ could easily run you $17k by itself, so I'd say you're doing OK, since you're in a fairly "high-rent" area of NJ yourself.

I thought it might not be an unfair price. Only thing I had it to compare to is the ripoff and replace of my home in Sayreville. Done 3 years ago with timberline, had two roofs on already, about 22 square and cost $7000. I didn't think the material cost was that different for metal, knew it was more expensive, just didn't know how much more expensive. I told the guy we might be able to do it in the fall, depends on the unforseen expenses once the house is lifted.
Big difference in material costs per square, and labor. Materials are easily 3-4 times the cost. 22 squares of asphalt off and on is a long day for a good roofing crew- 15 squares of metal with the strip and prep could be the better part of a week for the same number of guys.
Bob
That sounds about right for here. Prices vary by location, but that price doesn't sound out of line, especially if there's re-sheathing involved.

what about his saying that he'd quoted aluminum rather than steel for about 1000 to 1500 more. Said he could not warrant steel with it being so close to ocean, one block. Sounds reasonable to me. I wonder what the developments like Seaside in Florida used.
Don't know much about aluminum roofing and I'm not around the ocean. Mike Smith swears by heavy guage aluminum for salt spray areas. Last summer I was in the Outer Banks and saw a fair amount of steel roofing being installed.Birth, school, work, death.....................

I be afraid in a windy area that aluminum would rip right off.. 2+3=7
why would you think aluminum would rip off any easier than steel? Both are fastened securely. the diferrence in weight is, I would think, factored in.
Get a piece of aluminum. Get a piece of the same guage steel. Cut a small slit the same size in either one. Try to tear them in half with your hands. You will be able to tear the alum. If you can tear the steel at all, it will be harder. Copper will be somewhere in between.Birth, school, work, death.....................

I was thinking he meant the whole thing would lift intact. I didn't think about it ripping, very good point seeyou.
thanks

after seeing "seeyou"s site and reading this thread, i'm getting a metal roof and replacing the shingles.one/two questions,are there any advatages/disadvantages of metal vs. asphalt with a)skylights, b)shallow pitch c)steep pitch roof?.....all conditions on my house.thanks,ps....i hope you didn't mind me suggesting your thread to the folks in this post.
no problem using my post, but if I were you I would post new so the people here will see it as a new discussion and chime in. Old discussions don't get as much attention.
good luck
Kevin
.......are there any advatages/disadvantages of metal vs. asphalt with a)skylights, b)shallow pitch c)steep pitch roof?.....all conditions on my house.With skylight flashings in painted (ie, non solderable) metal, you are ultimately depending on caulk to keep them from leaking. That's not the case with copper or asphalt. Check your product for shallow pitches. Different brands/models are acceptable for different minimum pitches.If you're in snow country, you'll get slide offs with metal.Birth, school, work, death.....................
