Certified & Trusted Partners
We install standing seam and metal shingle roofing across Anne Arundel County and central Maryland — steel, aluminum and stone-coated systems built to last 40 to 70 years. Metal runs roughly $10 to $16 per square foot installed, which puts most Maryland homes between $25,000 and $50,000. Here is the part most contractors skip: it is the most expensive roof we sell, and it is not right for every house. If you are selling within ten to fifteen years, a shingle roof is usually the better financial decision and we will tell you so. What metal buys you is a roof measured in generations, 140+ mph wind ratings against our derechos and nor’easters, and 10–25% lower cooling costs through a Maryland August.
How Our Metal Roofing Process Works
Step 1: Comprehensive Inspection & Estimate
We get on the roof, measure properly, and check the decking, ventilation and the details that decide whether a metal roof performs — penetrations, valleys, and how the roof meets walls and chimneys. Free, no obligation, with written findings and photos.
Step 2: Schedule Your Project & Preparation
You get a clear price, and where it is genuinely a close call we price metal against an architectural shingle roof side by side so you see both numbers. Then we walk panel profiles, gauge, finish and color options with you before anything is ordered.
Step 3: Final Inspection & Site Cleanup
We install to manufacturer spec — correct clip spacing for thermal movement, proper flashing detail, no shortcuts at the penetrations — then run a full quality check, clean the site completely, and hand over your workmanship and manufacturer warranties.
Metal Roofing Systems We Install
We install every major metal system used on Maryland homes and buildings: standing seam in steel and aluminum, metal shingles and stone-coated steel, and exposed-fastener corrugated for garages and outbuildings. Every job starts with a free inspection and an honest read on whether metal is genuinely the right call for your house.
Long vertical panels joined by raised seams with the fasteners hidden underneath. Because nothing penetrates the surface, there is no exposed nail head to work loose and leak in fifteen years. This is what we recommend on most Maryland homes and the profile that reaches the top of the lifespan range — roughly $10–$16 per square foot installed, 40 to 70 years of service.
Pressed metal panels that mimic the look of architectural shingles, slate or tile while keeping most of the benefits of metal. They price between asphalt and standing seam and last around 40 to 50 years. Frequently the answer when an HOA wants a traditional roofline but you want metal underneath the appearance.
Within about a mile of the Chesapeake and its tidal rivers — the Severn, the Magothy, the South River — salt-laden humidity corrodes steel fasteners and flashing and strips asphalt granules early. Aluminum standing seam does not rust, which is why it is our standard recommendation for genuine waterfront exposure, paired with compatible stainless or aluminum fasteners.
Ribbed panels screwed through the face with gasketed fasteners. The most affordable metal option and a sensible fit for garages, barns and outbuildings, lasting roughly 25 to 40 years. The honest tradeoff is those exposed fasteners — the gaskets age and need checking, so it is not what we put over living space when standing seam is in budget.
Metal is unforgiving of a bad repair. Standing seam needs someone who understands the panel and clip system — a shingle crew improvising on a metal roof usually causes more damage than the original problem. We repair fastener and sealant failures, flashing at chimneys and walls, storm damage and panel issues on systems we did not install.
On commercial buildings metal shows up on standing seam roofs, mansards, canopies and equipment screens, and it frequently sits alongside a low-slope membrane on the same property. We handle both. For commercial work we schedule around your operating hours and document everything for ownership or insurance.
New builds, additions and full replacements. Correct clip spacing so panels can expand and contract through Maryland temperature swings, proper underlayment and ice-and-water shield, and flashing detail done right at every penetration — the details that decide whether you get forty years or seventy.
Standing seam, metal shingles and stone-coated steel on homes across Anne Arundel, Howard and the Baltimore metro. We will show you panel profiles and colors in person, explain oil-canning before you see it rather than after, and price metal honestly against a shingle alternative.
Our crews handle metal roofing jobs of any size — a garage in Odenton, a waterfront home on the Severn, or a phased commercial standing seam replacement — with the same manufacturer-spec workmanship on every one.
The Honest Downsides of a Metal Roof
Every other page you will read on this subject sells metal. Here is what we actually say at the kitchen table. The upfront cost is genuinely high — two to two and a half times a shingle roof. Hail dents it; metal sheds hail without leaking, but dents are cosmetic damage you will see, especially on lower-gauge flat pans. Fewer crews can repair it properly. Oil-canning is normal — that slight waviness in broad panels is inherent to light-gauge metal, not a defect. Your HOA may simply say no, particularly in Columbia and planned communities. And complex rooflines cost disproportionately more, widening the premium well beyond the 2–2.5× rule of thumb. Our metal roof vs shingles comparison runs the full math.
What a Metal Roof Costs in Maryland
Standing seam runs about $10 to $16 per square foot installed, putting most Maryland homes between $25,000 and $50,000 or more — roughly two to two and a half times a comparable architectural shingle roof, which lands between $9,000 and $25,000. Three things move that number: roof complexity (metal is fabricated to fit, so dormers, hips and valleys multiply labor faster than on shingles), panel gauge and finish (24-gauge with a Kynar 500 finish costs more than 26-gauge and lasts longer), and what is under the roof once we tear off. But divide by years of service and the gap nearly closes: architectural shingles work out around $480–$830 a year, standing seam metal around $500–$700. Per year of service the two are close to a wash. See our Maryland roof replacement cost guide for pitched-roof pricing across every material.

Our Roofing Case Studies
We showcase real project results. Our completed work protects homes, improves energy efficiency, and raises property value.
Waterfront Home – Aluminum Standing Seam
Before: A typical scenario on the water — asphalt shingles losing granules well ahead of schedule and corroding steel flashing, roughly a mile from brackish water where salt-laden humidity ages everything faster than the charts assume. After: Aluminum standing seam with compatible stainless fasteners, correct clip spacing for thermal movement, and flashing detail rebuilt at every penetration — a roof that does not care about salt air.
Anne Arundel County – Shingles to Standing Seam
Before: A second architectural shingle roof reaching the end of its life on a forever home, with summer cooling bills climbing under a dark roof and a poorly ventilated attic. After: A 24-gauge standing seam system with a Kynar finish and corrected attic ventilation — 140+ mph wind rating, materially lower cooling costs, and realistically the last roof the house will need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Standing seam runs about $10 to $16 per square foot installed, putting most Maryland homes between $25,000 and $50,000 or more — roughly two to two and a half times a comparable architectural shingle roof. Roof complexity, panel gauge and finish, and the condition of the decking underneath move the number most. Divided by years of service, metal and architectural shingles work out close to a wash.
In Maryland we see 40 to 70 years from standing seam, 40 to 50 from metal shingles, and 25 to 40 from exposed-fastener corrugated, against 25 to 30 years for architectural shingles and 15 to 20 for 3-tab. Installation quality at the flashings and penetrations decides where in that range you land.
No. Installed over solid decking with underlayment — which is how every residential metal roof is built — rain sounds about the same as it does on a shingle roof. The loud metal roofs people remember are barns and sheds, where panels sit over open framing with nothing beneath them.
No. A metal roof does not increase the likelihood of a lightning strike at all. Metal is non-combustible, so if a strike does happen it is the safer roof to have.
They can dent, and that is cosmetic damage rather than a leak. Heavier-gauge panels and textured or striated profiles resist denting better than light-gauge flat pans. The tradeoff runs the other way with shingles, which crack under hail and then leak.
It is a rough guideline: if repairs would involve about 25% or more of the roof, replacement is usually the better financial decision, because otherwise you pay setup and labor twice. It is a starting point rather than a law. We explain it fully in our breakdown of the 25% rule.
Sometimes code allows it, but we almost always recommend a tear-off first. It lets us inspect and repair the decking, keeps trapped moisture and telegraphing out of the picture, and protects the manufacturer’s warranty. A metal roof is a fifty-year decision — it should not be built on top of a hidden problem.
