What moves the quote
- Steel gauge — 24 ga costs ~15–20% more than 26 ga but resists hail denting visibly better; 29 ga is agricultural-grade, avoid on homes.
- Finish — PVDF (Kynar) coatings carry 30–40 year fade warranties and cost more than polyester finishes that chalk in Georgia sun.
- Roof complexity — hips, valleys and dormers multiply panel cutting and trim labor.
- Metal type — aluminum (coastal GA, salt air) and copper (accent roofs) price above galvanized/Galvalume steel.
- Tear-off — $1,000–$2,000 if included; confirm whether the quote assumes going over existing shingles.
Metal vs asphalt: the 50-year math
One standing seam roof at $20,000 versus two asphalt replacements at $10,000 each (today's dollars) plus $2,000–$4,000 in repairs along the way — metal wins on cost alone before you count energy savings, insurance discounts, and not re-roofing during the next hail season. Compare against the asphalt replacement tables for your city.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a metal roof cost in Georgia in 2026?
Standing seam metal roofing costs $9–$16 per square foot installed in Georgia — typically $15,000–$28,000 for an average single-family home. Metal shingles run $7–$12 per square foot, exposed-fastener panels $5–$9.
Is a metal roof cheaper than shingles over time?
Often yes. Two asphalt replacements over 50 years ($8k–$12k each in today’s dollars) plus repairs can exceed one $20,000 standing seam roof that outlives the mortgage — before counting energy savings and insurance discounts.
Why are metal roof quotes so different from each other?
Gauge (24 vs 26 vs 29), panel profile, finish (PVDF vs polyester), underlayment spec and whether the quote includes tear-off. Compare line by line — a cheap quote is often thinner steel with a shorter finish warranty.
Can metal be installed over existing shingles?
Sometimes, where code allows and decking is sound — it saves $1,000–$2,000 in tear-off. Most Georgia contractors recommend tear-off anyway to inspect decking and get a flat substrate for the panels.
