“Had our old farmhouse roof torn off and replaced with new metal panels last month. The crew of four knocked it out in two days and hauled away every last scrap of the old shingles. Yard was cleaner than when they started.”
Metal Roof Replacement
“We wanted copper for the front of our 1920s house and these guys clearly knew what they were doing with it. The soldered seams look beautiful and they walked me through the patina process so I knew what to expect. Pricey, but worth it.”
Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing
“Our hay barn roof was leaking over the storage side and they came out to repair the panels and re-fasten a bunch of loose screws before the season. Fast, fair, and they actually showed me photos of the problem spots. No more drips.”
Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing
“New standing seam roof on our cape, about 1,800 square feet. Honestly the best contractor experience we've had in years, showed up when they said, cleaned up daily, and the finished roof looks sharp.”
Metal Roof Installation
“We had a leak around the chimney where it meets the metal roof and they re-flashed the whole junction. Took a little longer than quoted to get us on the schedule, but the leak is gone and they didn't try to upsell me a whole new roof.”
Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair
“Went with standing seam on our place after getting three quotes and I'm glad we picked these folks. The panels are dead straight, the snow guards went on without a fuss, and they even tidied up the gutter edges where the old roof met them.”
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
“Did a metal roof over our existing shingles on the white house, saved us a ton versus a full tear-off. Crew was in and out in three days and you'd never know they were here except for the gorgeous new roof.”
Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit)
“Called them out for an inspection after some wind storms and they found a few panels that needed re-fastening plus some worn screws. Fixed it all on the spot for a very reasonable price. Relieved, honestly, I was expecting bad news.”

Homeowners searching for a metal roofing contractor near me in Boston need a crew that understands this city's particular mix of steep Victorian gables, low-slope triple-decker roofs, and tight urban lots. Boston Metal Roofing is that local resource: a network of licensed, bonded, and insured contractors who handle metal roof installation, replacement, re-roofs, and repairs across the region. We work on everything from bowfront townhouses in the Back Bay to steep-pitched Colonials in Newton and Cambridge, matching panel systems to the pitch, structure, and exposure of each home.
This is dense, tree-heavy terrain with granite ledge, narrow access, and a large stock of older exposed-fastener roofs whose screws are due for service. From Somerville triple-deckers to Brookline Victorians to Cambridge dormers, we know how salt air, nor'easters, and freeze-thaw cycles treat metal. If you want straight guidance on what your roof actually needs, call (857) 465-5405 or request a free estimate.
Most metal roof leaks we diagnose in Boston trace back to a handful of predictable failures. On 15- to 30-year-old exposed-fastener roofs, the number one cause is fasteners backing out as their EPDM sealing washers dry, shrink, and crack, letting water past the screw head. Seams can separate as panels expand and contract with thermal movement. Pipe boots and flashing at chimneys, skylights, and valleys fail as sealant ages. Wind can lift panels at edges and closures during a nor'easter, and fallen limbs can puncture panels outright. Each of these has a specific fix, and none of them improve with time.
Ignoring a small leak is expensive. Water tracks along purlins and decking far from the point of entry, so by the time a stain shows on a ceiling, sheathing may already be rotted and insulation saturated. That is why we start every repair call with a proper inspection rather than a guess. When the panels and seams are sound and the problem is fasteners, a full screw replacement and re-fastening often restores a watertight roof for a fraction of replacement cost. When seams, flashing, or panel integrity are broadly compromised, we will say so plainly and walk you through replacement options.
For active leaks, wind-lifted panels, or ice damming at the eaves, call (857) 465-5405 and we will schedule a metal roof leak repair visit. You will get an honest repair-versus-replace recommendation, not a sales pitch.
We install the full range of metal systems and match them to the home rather than the other way around. Standing Seam Metal Roofing uses concealed clips and hidden fasteners, making it the premium choice for low-slope triple-deckers, dormers, and additions where clean lines and long service life matter. Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing is the economical workhorse for barns, sheds, workshops, and outbuildings. Metal Shingle Roofing and Stone-Coated Steel Roofing suit Capes and Victorians that need a traditional profile, while Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing handles bay windows, cupolas, and porch roofs.
The honest comparison: standing seam costs more up front and has no exposed screws to maintain, while screw-down costs less and needs its fasteners serviced over its life. Where the deck is sound, Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit) can be a legitimate option; where it is not, tear-off is the right call. We will tell you which applies to your roof.
Metal roof projects are typically quoted per square foot, while repairs are often flat-rate, and pricing depends on the panel system and metal gauge, roof pitch and complexity, tear-off versus recover, decking condition, and access. We frame all figures as typical ranges, and final pricing depends on the roof and site conditions. Some carriers may offer premium discounts for metal or impact-rated roofs, but that is between you and your insurer. For a clearer picture of how projects are priced, see our pricing page.
The fastest way to a real number is a free estimate or free roof inspection. We will document what we find and give you a written scope, including whether a repair or coating makes more sense than replacement. Request your free estimate today.
After a storm, we inspect the roof and provide written documentation with photos that you may submit to your own insurer. We are not an insurance adjuster or agent, coverage decisions rest with your carrier, and we make no promise that a claim will be approved. On permits: in most jurisdictions a permit is commonly required for a full replacement, but requirements vary by city, and thresholds, fees, and inspection requirements differ. Historic district or HOA design review can also affect panel profile and color choices. Requirements vary, always verify with the Boston building or planning department before starting your project.
If you have storm damage or are planning a replacement, contact us to schedule an inspection and get clear, documented next steps.
