| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Lincoln and Lancaster County: panel systems engineered for Nebraska hail, wind and heavy snow, installed over high-temperature synthetic underlayment with proper ventilation, correct flashing and manufacturer-approved details for a 40-60 year service life. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for Lincoln homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to loosen as deep winter cold and hot summers expand and contract the roof. Superior wind resistance and a clean snow-shedding surface. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of hail-beaten shingle or end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and repaired, then a complete new metal system installed. Some insurers discount 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: no tear-off, less waste, lower cost. Popular on Lincoln brick ranches and bungalows. 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 downpour or melting snow becomes 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 ice-dam areas at eaves) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after severe storms. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Lincoln's big winter-to-summer temperature swings expand and contract metal roofs hundreds of times a year, so screws back out and brittle 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 barns, machine sheds, garages and workshops across Lancaster County. Quality panels in durable colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures that keep out wind-driven rain and snow. |
| 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 Lincoln homeowners tired of replacing hail-beaten shingle roofs. Lightweight, walkable and impact-rated panels with a traditional look. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish: excellent hail and wind performance, Class A fire rating, and profiles that mimic the shake and slate looks common on Lincoln subdivision homes. |
| 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 on Near South's Victorian turrets and bays. |
| 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 protect panels 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 Lincoln roofs through freeze-thaw winters. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Snow guards and rail systems for metal roofs: Lincoln's heavy snow can slide off slick panels all at once, so we place guards above entries, walkways and driveways, and fix ice-dam trouble at the eaves. Honest guidance on whether yours needs them. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of hail, wind and tornado-season storm damage to metal roofing: thorough documentation with photos, honest assessment of repair vs. 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, coating wear, hail dents, 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 spring cloudbursts and snowmelt away from brick walls and foundations, with details that handle elm and honeylocust leaves. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, machine sheds, workshops, churches, grain-country outbuildings and light commercial buildings across Lancaster County and beyond, from farms near Crete and Malcolm to shops along the industrial corridors, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
What Affects the Price

- Accessibility and roof pitch : Steep roofs or those with limited access (e.g., tall buildings, obstructions) may require additional safety measures and labor, raising the price.
