| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Baton Rouge and the Capital Region. Hurricane-rated panel systems built for wind, heavy rain and Louisiana heat, installed over premium synthetic underlayment with sealed decking details that meet FORTIFIED standards for a 40-60 year service life. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems. The premium choice for Baton Rouge homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed, with no exposed screws, top hurricane wind ratings and a reflective finish that cuts summer heat gain. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of storm-worn shingle or end-of-life metal roofs. Old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and repaired, then a complete new metal system installed. Louisiana insurers offer discounts on FORTIFIED roofs, ask your carrier. |
| 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 Baton Rouge ranches. We check deck condition and wind requirements 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 panels dented by falling oak limbs. Resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before the next downpour finds its way inside. |
| Metal Roof Leak Repair | From $450 | Priority leak response for metal roofs, with leaks traced to their true source. Failed fasteners, seam separation, flashing gaps, pipe boots and skylights are all located and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after hurricanes and storms. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Heat, humidity and big summer storms crack washers and loosen screws on older exposed-fastener roofs. Across south Louisiana, that is the top cause of slow leaks on homes, barns and shops. Oversized screws and new washers fix it for a fraction of the cost. |
| Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing | From $5.50/sq ft | Exposed-fastener metal roofing (corrugated, R-panel and 5V).

| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Snow guards and rails are almost never needed on Baton Rouge metal roofs. The January 2025 snow was a once-in-decades event, but low-profile guards can still keep debris and heavy wet leaves from sliding off steep metal roofs over entries and walkways. |
