“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 unique housing stock and weather. Boston Metal Roofing is your local source for metal roof installation, replacement, re-roof, and repair on homes across the area. From the steep gables and dormers of Victorian houses in Jamaica Plain to the low-slope roofs of triple-deckers in Dorchester, we match the right metal system to your roof's pitch, structure, and exposure. We serve Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Newton, and surrounding communities.
Our network of licensed, insured local contractors knows the challenges here: heavy tree cover from maples and oaks, salt air near the harbor that corrodes fasteners, and winter snow loads that test every seam. We also see a large stock of aging exposed-fastener roofs where screws are backing out. Whether you need a metal roof repair or a full replacement, we give you straight answers and honest recommendations.
Metal roofs are durable, but they are not maintenance-free. The most common cause of leaks on 15 to 30 year old exposed-fastener roofs is fastener back-out. The EPDM sealing washers under each screw dry out, shrink, and crack, allowing water to slip past. Thermal movement causes panels to expand and contract, which can separate seams over time. Failed pipe boots and flashing at chimneys, skylights, and valleys are other frequent entry points, especially where sealant has aged. Wind-lifted panels after a nor'easter and punctures from fallen limbs are also common in this area.
Ignoring a small leak is costly. Water can track along purlins and decking far from the entry point, leading to rotted sheathing and saturated insulation. By the time you see a stain on the ceiling, the damage may already be significant. That is why we recommend a prompt metal roof leak repair at the first sign of trouble.
Not every leak means a new roof. Often, a full screw replacement and re-fastening with new sealing washers restores a watertight roof for a fraction of replacement cost. We will tell you plainly when a repair makes sense and when replacement is the better investment. Call (857) 465-5405 to schedule an inspection, or contact us for a free estimate.
We install a range of metal roofing systems to match your home and budget. Standing Seam Metal Roofing is the premium choice, with concealed clips and no exposed fasteners to maintain. Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing is the economical workhorse for barns, workshops, and outbuildings. Metal Shingle Roofing and Stone-Coated Steel Roofing offer the look of slate or shake with metal durability. For accents like bay windows and porch roofs, Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing adds timeless character.
Standing seam costs more upfront but has no exposed screws to service. Screw-down panels cost less but require fastener maintenance over their lifespan. If your existing shingles are sound and the deck is solid, Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit) can be a legitimate option. When the deck is compromised, a full tear-off and Metal Roof Replacement is the right call.
Metal roof costs in Boston are typically quoted per square foot for installations, while repairs are often flat-rate. Final pricing depends on the roof and site conditions, including the panel system and metal gauge, roof pitch and complexity, tear-off versus recover, decking condition, and access. For a clearer picture, visit our pricing page.
Some carriers may offer premium discounts for metal or impact-rated roofs, but you should confirm with your insurer. To get a project-specific range, request a free estimate or a free roof inspection. We will walk you through the options and give you honest numbers.
If a storm damages your roof, we inspect 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.
Regarding permits: in most jurisdictions, a permit is commonly required for a full replacement, but requirements vary by city. 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. For help with documentation or to schedule an inspection, contact us.
