Metal Roof Replacement in San Diego
Full tear-off, a sound deck, and a metal roof that ends the replacement cycle.
Metal Roof Replacement in San Diego County
Most of our work is a full replacement. We tear the old roof off down to the deck, inspect and repair the decking, install proper underlayment, and build a new metal system on top. Tearing off rather than roofing over is the only way to know the deck underneath is sound, and it lets us warranty the entire roof instead of just the surface. For a homeowner tired of replacing an asphalt roof every fifteen years, a metal replacement is usually the last roof the house will ever need.
A typical residential metal replacement in San Diego runs from about $40,000 to $60,000, with most homes landing near $50,000, depending on roof size, pitch and complexity. We price every job line by line in a written quote after a free assessment, with a firm timeline, and we offer financing through Wheelhouse Credit Union here in San Diego so the roof can fit the budget.

Lifetimeleak-free warranty
What to expect, step by step
Full tear-off and deck inspection
We strip the roof to the deck so we can see and repair what is underneath, then install fresh underlayment before the metal goes on. Roofing over old material hides problems and voids the value of a 50-year roof, so we do it right.
A written, line-item quote
You get a clear, itemized quote and a firm timeline before any work starts. No vague numbers and no pressure, just the exact figure and what it covers, with financing available through Wheelhouse Credit Union.
A warranty that transfers
Every replacement carries a lifetime workmanship warranty against leaks. If you sell the home, it transfers to the next owner with the remainder of 15 years, a selling point a new asphalt roof cannot match.
Metal, done properly
Metal Roof Replacement questions, answered
How much does it cost to replace a roof with metal in San Diego?
A typical residential metal roof replacement in San Diego runs from about $40,000 to $60,000, with most homes near $50,000. That works out to roughly $20 per square foot for a typical roof and closer to $16 per square foot for a simple one. The figure depends on roof size, pitch, complexity and the metal system you choose, and we put every line in a written quote after a free assessment.
Should I tear off the old roof or install metal over it?
We almost always recommend a full tear-off. Roofing over an existing layer hides deck damage, can violate code and means we can only warranty the surface, not the whole system. Tearing off lets us inspect and repair the decking, install proper underlayment and stand behind the entire roof. We confirm the right approach during your free assessment.
Do you offer financing for a metal roof replacement?
Yes. We offer financing through Wheelhouse Credit Union here in San Diego, so a metal roof replacement can fit your budget rather than waiting. We will walk through the options with your written quote so you can see the monthly figure alongside the project cost.
How long does a metal roof replacement take?
Most residential metal roof replacements take three to seven working days, depending on roof size, the system chosen and the amount of custom fabrication and flashing involved. Copper and complex standing seam roofs take longer because much of the metal is formed by hand. You get a firm timeline with your written quote.
Is the warranty transferable if I sell my home?
Yes. The lifetime leak-free workmanship warranty on a residential roof transfers to the next owner with the remainder of 15 years. If you sell the home a year after the install, the buyer inherits the balance, which makes a metal roof a genuine selling point rather than a deferred expense.
