The Cost of a 26-Gauge Maxi-Rib Screw-Down Metal Roof
This screw-down is also called an “agricultural roof panel.” Originally, this type of roof was destined for barns and warehouses.
Installing a screw-down metal roof requires less labor and is less expensive than standing seam metal roofs. Therefore, with this material, you can get the look of traditional metal roofing without the cost.
A particular sign of these roofs is their exposed fasteners. After 5 to 10 years, these fasteners will need repair.
Here are the average costs of a screw-down metal roof on a house:
- For a 2-straight-sided house without chimneys, skylights, or valleys: $16,500.
- For a two-story house with two valleys, dormers, and walls: $22,750.
- For a two-story house with a multi-faceted, valleyed roof: $29,000.
The Cost of a 26-Gauge, 5-V Metal Roof.
5-V is another screw-down and barn metal roof. This metal roof was one of the first agricultural panels used in residences.
Likewise, you will spend less upfront, compared to seam metal roofing, since materials and labor are cheaper.
Because of expansion and contraction, exposed screws need repair every 5 to 10 years.
The average costs of a 5-V metal roof on a house are:
- A 2-sided home with a simple roof and little flashing work cost $19,200.
- For homes with split-level or 2-story chimney dormers and skylights, the price is $25,450.
- For a split-level or 3-story residence with a complex design, a chimney, skylights, and valleys, the price is $31,700.
The Cost of a 24-Gauge Standing Seam Metal Roof.
Standing seam metal roofing are great for homes and businesses. Many historic homes still have their original “tin” standing seam metal roofs. Some of them are 100-year-olds or more!
This roofing material requires a substantially higher upfront cost.
The average costs of a 24-gauge metal roof on a house are:
- For a 2-straight-sided home without chimneys, skylights, or valleys: $27,500.
- For split-level or 2-story homes with dormers, gables, and valleys: $34,900.
- For a split-level or 3-story home with a chimney, skylights, and valleys: $42,300.
