Lexington's big Colonials and Capes sit on wooded lots where white pines and oaks drop limbs on roofs every winter. If you live near Lexington Center or off Massachusetts Avenue, you already know the drill: heavy snow, ice dams at the eaves, and gutters that fill with pine needles by Thanksgiving.
That's why homeowners in 02421 call Boston Metal Roofing. We've replaced shingles with standing seam on Capes near Wilson Farm, repaired flashing on Colonials by the Battle Green, and installed snow guards on steep roofs along Lowell Street. We know what Lexington weather does to a roof, and we build for it.
Metal Roofing in Lexington (02421)
Lexington's housing stock is mostly 1920s to 1960s Colonials, Capes, and brick ranches, with steep and moderate pitches that shed snow well until ice dams form at the eaves. The wooded lots mean falling limbs and pine debris, and the glacial till under many properties makes drainage tricky after a thaw. We see a lot of roofs here where the back slope stays shaded all winter and the ice never lets go. That's where stone-coated steel and standing seam with proper underlayment and ice-and-water shield make a real difference.
Our team has worked on Lexington roofs from the Meriam Hill area to the neighborhoods off Bedford Street. We know which streets have tight driveways where a dumpster has to go in the street, and which HOAs want panel profiles that match the original architecture. We pull permits through the Town of Lexington and coordinate inspections so you don't have to chase paperwork.

How a Job Works in Lexington
Step 1: Call us at (857) 465-5405 or request a free estimate online. We'll schedule a time to walk your roof, check the attic and flashing, and talk through options like standing seam, stone-coated steel, or a retrofit over existing shingles. You'll get a written scope and price before any work starts.
Step 2: Once you approve, we pull the Lexington roofing permit and order materials. On tight lots near the Center, we stage materials carefully and protect landscaping. If your home is in a historic district or under HOA review, we help with the paperwork and color samples. Installation typically takes one to three days depending on roof size and complexity.
Step 3: We clean up every day and do a final walkthrough with you. Magnets sweep the lawn and driveway for nails, and we haul away all old materials. You get a written warranty and a roof that's ready for the next nor'easter.
Metal roofing in Lexington runs from about $8 per square foot for basic corrugated panels to $20 or more for copper and specialty metals. Standing seam starts around $10 per square foot, and a typical 1,800-square-foot Cape roof might land between $18,000 and $28,000 depending on pitch, access, and whether we're removing old shingles. Repairs like leak fixes or flashing start at $450, and snow guards start at $1,200. The biggest cost factors are roof size and pitch, how many layers of old roofing we remove, and whether the job needs special access equipment.
