Metal Roof Cost in Seattle
Metal roof cost in Seattle depends on the roof itself and the proposed system. Compare the full installation scope, not just a panel price, when planning a residential replacement.
Price Ranges
Every roof is different. Your exact price comes after a free inspection.
Installed metal roofing
$1,200–$1,500+ per square (100 sq ft)
Typical installed range. A roofing square measures 100 sq ft of roof surface.
Typical 20–30 square home
About $24,000–$45,000+
Typical planning range for a home with 20–30 squares of roof surface.
Large or complex homes
$60,000–$100,000
Typical planning range for large or complex homes and premium standing seam.
What Drives the Price
Measured area and pitch
Roof surface area, overhangs and steepness determine material quantities and safe access needs.
Panel system
Metal type and gauge, standing seam versus exposed fastener, and finish affect the proposal. Compare the exact products being offered.
Intersections and flashing
Valleys, walls, chimneys and skylights require details compatible with the metal roofing system.
Removal and decking
Old layers and damaged decking can change preparation and disposal work.
Underlayment and ventilation
Underlayment and trim affect the price. Ask how the assembly addresses moisture, roof-edge details and attic ventilation.
Access and permits
Site setup and permit requirements depend on the address and scope. We pull the roofing permit when required.
How to Read Your Written Estimate
- Panel product, finish and measured roof area.
- Old roofing removal, disposal and decking allowances.
- Underlayment, flashing, penetrations and ventilation details.
- Permit responsibilities, access, cleanup and exclusions.
- Written workmanship and separate manufacturer warranty terms.
Comparing Estimates Fairly
Compare estimates for the same panel system and roof details.
A less expensive proposal may omit removal, flashing or preparation that another includes.
Ask how unexpected decking work will be documented and authorized rather than assuming every possibility is covered by a single total.

Financing Your Project
Ask about project eligibility and payment options with your written estimate. Financing is subject to credit approval, and financing options vary. Rates, terms and any minimum borrowing amount are set by the lender; an estimate is not a financing application.
