What Does a Metal Roof Cost in Maryland?
Where Your Home Comes First
Standing seam metal runs $25,000 to $35,000 on most homes in our service area.
That is roughly double an architectural asphalt roof, which lands between $12,000 and $18,000 on a comparable house.
Those are 2026 ranges for our service area, not a quote. Every roof is different, and the only way to know your number is to have someone look at it. Our inspection is free.
Jobs in Montgomery County and Northern Virginia typically run 5 to 10% higher than the ranges above.
Why metal costs what it costs
Material. Steel or aluminum panels cost more per square foot than asphalt, and standing seam panels are cut and formed to your specific roof.
Labor and skill. Panels are installed with concealed fasteners and clips that let the metal expand and contract. Done wrong, it oil-cans, leaks at the seams, or tears itself apart across a few seasons of Maryland temperature swings. Fewer crews do this well.
Time. A metal roof takes longer than the one-day asphalt install most of our customers get.
Roof complexity. Every valley, dormer, chimney and skylight means custom flashing. A simple gable roof in metal is far closer to the bottom of the range than a cut-up roofline with six penetrations.
The payback question
Manufacturers rate standing seam metal for 40 to 70 years. Architectural asphalt is typically warranted up to 50 years, though real-world replacement in this climate usually comes sooner.
The rough math: if metal costs about twice as much and lasts about twice as long, you break even on materials and come out ahead on labor, because you are not paying a crew to tear off and replace in twenty years.
That math only works if you stay in the house. If you are moving in five years, you are buying resale appeal and a lower insurance premium, not a payback.
When metal is not the right call
We install both, so this is not a pitch.
If you are selling soon. You will not recover the full premium at closing in this market.
If the roof is complex and the budget is tight. Money goes further on a premium asphalt system with better underlayment than on the cheapest metal a contractor can put up.
If your HOA restricts it. Check before you spend time on quotes.
If noise concerns you. Modern metal over solid decking with proper underlayment is not the barn roof people picture, but it is not identical to asphalt either.
What we install
Home Source is GAF Master Elite and CertainTeed ShingleMaster PRO certified, and we install metal alongside asphalt, synthetic slate and cedar shake.
Every job carries a $25,000 workmanship guarantee through the Good Contractors List. We are the only contractor in our service area on that list.
One customer had us pull an existing metal roof and we found cedar shakes hidden underneath, which surprised both of us. He wrote afterward that he was over a barrel at that point but they did not take advantage of that. Older roofs hide things. What matters is what a contractor does when they find them.

Hear From Our Customers
On February 7, 2026, a severe windstorm pulled several shingles off my roof. When I went out the next day to collect some of the fallen pieces, I was surprised to see how deteriorated they were—what looked fine from the ground was actually in pretty bad shape up close. A trusted friend recommended Home Source Roofing out of Williamsport, Maryland, and I’m glad they did. Michele from Home Source came out on February 11 to assess the damage using both a drone and a ground inspection. She recommended immediate tarping due to incoming rain, and it was completed the very next day—just in time, because we had several days of heavy rain right after. I also had Home Source look at a gutter and downspout issue that was contributing to shingle problems. They recommended a solution, and I chose to have that work done in addition to the roof replacement. Shortly after, I received a very reasonable quote with two package options using GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Hunter Green. I chose the Gold package, which offered additional protection with upgraded underlayment and enhanced vent covers. Both options featured 50-year shingles, which gave me great peace of mind. On March 18, the crew arrived right on time and got straight to work. The entire process was incredibly organized and efficient. They started by laying protective tarps over my porches and yard, then moved seamlessly through removing the old shingles, making necessary repairs, and installing the new roof. The onsite lead, Christian, kept everything running smoothly and maintained great communication throughout the project. The owner, Brian, also personally stopped by on the day of installation to ensure everything was proceeding as planned, which I really appreciated. In addition, Rene from Home Source stopped by to review and coordinate the upcoming gutter and downspout work, working directly with Superior Seamless Gutters LLC to ensure everything was aligned. At one point during the tear-off, my porch was completely covered in old shingles—it looked a little wild—but by the time they finished, everything was spotless. You would never know they had been there. I’ve included before-and-after photos to show the condition of the old shingles and the quality of the finished roof. Overall, this was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The professionalism, responsiveness, attention to detail, and cleanup exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Home Source Roofing to anyone in need of roofing services!

Knowledgeable, friendly, did a excellent job in a day, and I would recommend them. I got the architectural shingles rated for 130 mph winds. Less than 3 weeks or so from the time they came out to look, to complete roof installation.
