Metal roof quotes in La Verne, CA
A metal roof costs roughly double a shingle roof and lasts roughly three times as long. Whether that is a good trade depends entirely on how long you are staying.

Before you let anybody on the roof
The things worth pinning down on a metal roofing job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- Standing seam or exposed fastener, and why
- How valleys, ridges and penetrations are detailed
- Whether the crew installs metal regularly or occasionally
- Panel gauge and the coating warranty
- How the panels are allowed to expand and contract
Metal expands and contracts more than any other covering. Panels have to be allowed to move, and cheap installs pin them so they cannot.
Ask to see a standing-seam job they finished more than three years ago. The edges and the valleys will tell you everything.
A light-coloured metal roof reflects a serious amount of heat, which shows up on a summer power bill in hot climates.
Locally
Close behind that: wind-blown embers landing in the valleys. Most houses lost to wildfire are lost to embers arriving ahead of the fire, not to the fire itself.
About metal roofing here
What if the decking is rotten underneath?
Some of it usually is. The important thing is that the price per sheet is agreed in writing before the tear-off, so the conversation on day two is about quantity rather than rate.
What happens to my information?
Your details are passed to up to three local roofing contractors so they can quote. That is the only use. You can ask us to delete them at any time, and there is a do-not-sell page for exactly that.
Are gutters included in a re-roof?
Normally a separate line. It is the one add-on that genuinely costs less when done at the same time.
I have solar panels. What happens to them?
Panels have to be detached and reset. Budget for it separately and coordinate the two trades. Never put a new solar array on a roof with under ten years left.
