Metal roofing cost in Colorado Springs
Metal is the most expensive roof most homeowners here will consider. Here is roughly how much more, and why people choose it anyway.
These are planning ranges for typical homes in Colorado Springs and El Paso County, not quotes. Your written estimate, given after someone has been on the roof, is the price.
Typical installed ranges
| System | Per square foot | 2,500 sq ft of roof |
|---|---|---|
| Standing-seam steel | $11 – $18 | $27,500 – $45,000 |
| Stone-coated steel | $9 – $14 | $22,500 – $35,000 |
| Architectural asphalt (for comparison) | $4.50 – $6.50 | $11,000 – $16,000 |
Why the range is so wide
- Panel gauge and finish. Thicker steel resists hail dents better and costs more.
- Roof shape. Every hip, valley and dormer means custom-cut trim.
- Snow guards. Needed over entries and decks; priced per run.
- Location. Steep mountain lots in Woodland Park or the foothills take longer to stage.
Is it worth it here?
Metal sheds snow, does not burn, and a quality panel survives hail that would end an asphalt roof, even if it picks up a few cosmetic dents. If you plan to stay in the house a long time, or your roof has already been replaced after hail, metal is worth pricing against Class 4 shingles. Read more on our metal roofing page.
Quick answers
Does a metal roof need a permit?
Yes. It is a reroof, so it needs a Pikes Peak Regional Building Department permit, which we pull.
Will my HOA allow it?
Many do, some do not. Check your covenants before ordering panels.
