| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Lancaster and the Antelope Valley: panel systems engineered for intense high-desert sun, UV, triple-digit heat and strong seasonal winds, installed over high-temperature synthetic underlayment with proper ventilation and careful flashing 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 Lancaster homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to loosen as big desert day-to-night swings expand and contract the roof every day. Superior wind resistance and a cool reflective finish. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of sun-baked shingle, cracked concrete tile or end-of-life metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and repaired, then a complete new metal system installed. Some insurers offer discounts for 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, with no tear-off, less waste and lower cost. Popular on Lancaster stucco ranch homes. 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 wind-dented, loosened or punctured panels, resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before winter rain 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 dormer and stucco-wall transitions) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after desert windstorms and winter rain storms. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Lancaster's blazing summer sun and big day-to-night swings expand and contract metal roofs hundreds of times a year, so screws back out and aged 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 homes, carports, barns and workshops across the Antelope Valley. Quality panels in reflective cool-roof colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures that keep out wind-blown dust and sand. |
| 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 Lancaster homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, walkable and wind-rated for the strong desert winds that sweep the valley. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish: excellent wind performance, Class A fire rating, and profiles that mimic the Spanish clay tile and shake looks common on Lancaster 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 in the dry high-desert air. Custom fabrication for the fine details. |
| Metal Roof Coating & Painting | From $2.50/sq ft | Restoration of sun-faded, chalking or surface-rusted metal roofs: surface prep, rust treatment and high-performance reflective coating systems that extend roof life 10-15 years, restore color and cut summer heat gain without replacement. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys, parapets and stucco transitions, the number one leak point on Lancaster roofs. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Wind-uplift and heat-reflective edge protection for metal roofs: extra fastening and heavier edge metal at eaves, rakes and ridges where Antelope Valley winds pull hardest, plus reflective finishes against UV. Honest guidance on what your roof actually needs. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of wind and wind-blown debris 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 and UV, dust and wind wear, 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 sudden winter cloudbursts away from stucco walls and foundations, with details that handle desert dust, tumbleweeds and wind-blown debris. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, horse-farm buildings, workshops, churches, carports and light commercial buildings across the Antelope Valley: from horse properties around Acton and Leona Valley to shops along Sierra Highway, with durable panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
