Four things that move the number
Two San Diego homes rarely cost the same to reroof. These are the factors we weigh.
Roof size and pitch
More square footage and a steeper, harder-to-walk roof both add labor and material.
The system you choose
Standing seam sits in the middle, shingle below, hand-formed copper at the top. The metal is the biggest lever.
Complexity and flashing
Dormers, valleys, skylights and penetrations each need custom flashing fabricated to fit.
Tear-off and deck repair
A full tear-off lets us inspect and repair the deck and warranty the whole system, priced transparently.

How much does a metal roof cost in San Diego?
Most residential metal roofs in San Diego range from about $15,000 to $40,000 installed, depending on the metal type, roof size and complexity. Standing seam steel sits in the middle of that range, while custom copper sits at the top. We start every project with a free assessment and a written, line-item quote so you know the exact figure before any work begins.
Is a metal roof worth it compared to asphalt shingles?
For most San Diego homeowners, yes. A metal roof costs more upfront but typically outlasts two or three shingle roofs, reflects heat to lower cooling bills, carries a Class A fire rating and adds resale value. Over the life of the home it is often the lower total cost, because it can be the last roof you buy.
