## Price

$850-$1500 roofing square (100 sq ft) installed. 2026 published installed pricing for standing-seam metal roofing in the Boise/Treasure Valley area, translated from per-square-foot ranges (instantroofer.com and related sources), reflecting the higher material and labor cost of standing-seam panels.

## What's included

- On-site inspection and a written per-square price before any work starts
- Full tear-off to the deck, with any rotten or delaminated sheathing repaired and priced as its own line
- High-temperature synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations, rated for use under metal
- Concealed-fastener standing-seam panels installed with the clip spacing that lets the metal expand and contract without buckling
- New step and counter flashing at chimneys, walls, and vents, fitted to the panel system
- Panel color and finish selection suited to the home
- Snow-retention considerations addressed at the design stage where roof pitch and entries require it
- Full site cleanup and haul-away of the old roofing

## Process

01. **Free on-site inspection** — We walk the roof, check the deck, and hand you a written per-square price for standing-seam metal, including panel finish options.
02. **Permit and material order** — We pull the required reroofing permit and order panels to the roof's exact measurements; metal typically has a longer lead time than shingles, so we build that into the schedule up front.
03. **Tear-off and install** — Full tear-off to the deck, sheathing repaired where needed, high-temp underlayment installed, then standing-seam panels fastened with concealed clips that allow for thermal movement.
04. **Inspection and walkthrough** — Final inspection, magnet sweep for dropped fasteners, and a walkthrough of the finished roof before we leave.

## FAQ

**Why choose metal over asphalt shingles in Boise's climate?**

This valley swings from summer highs over 100°F to hard winter freezes, one of the wider temperature ranges in the Pacific Northwest, and gets intense high-altitude UV on top of it. That combination is hard on asphalt shingles; standing-seam metal handles the thermal cycling and UV exposure with less long-term wear, which is why it costs more up front but holds up longer in this specific climate.

**Is metal roofing louder than shingles during rain or hail?**

Not when it's installed correctly. Standing-seam panels go over solid decking and underlayment, the same as a shingle roof, and that assembly absorbs sound the way most people don't expect — it isn't the exposed-barn-roof experience people picture.

**Does metal roofing cost more than asphalt shingles?**

Yes, meaningfully more up front — expect roughly $850 to $1,500 per roofing square installed for standing-seam metal versus $450 to $850 for architectural asphalt shingle in this market. The trade-off is a longer service life against this valley's UV and thermal cycling, so the right choice depends on how long you plan to stay in the home and your budget today versus over time.

**Can metal roofing go over my existing roof?**

We don't recommend it and in most cases do a full tear-off regardless of material, for the same reason we do on shingle jobs — it's the only way to properly inspect and fix the deck, and a second layer works against the underlayment and fastening a metal system needs to perform correctly.

## Signs you need this

- Current asphalt shingle roof reaching the end of its service life and weighing whether to upgrade materials
- Visible shingle granule loss, cracking, or curling from years of high-altitude UV exposure
- Planning to stay in the home long-term and wanting to reduce how often the roof gets replaced
- Steep or highly visible roofline where a metal finish is part of the home's design
- Interest in a roofing material built for wide summer-to-winter temperature swings
