Is a Standing Seam Metal Roof More Expensive than Metal Shingles?

Based on the pricing data for the Northwest Louisiana area, a standing seam metal roof is generally not more expensive than metal shingles. In fact, metal shingles often have a higher price ceiling per square foot.

According to the cost breakdown provided by Triumph Roofing and Construction:

  • Standing Seam Metal Roof: Typically costs between $8 and $14 per square foot installed. It is noted for its high durability (40–70 years) and suitability for steep slopes and modern architecture.
  • Metal Shingles (Steel/Aluminum): Typically cost between $9 and $16 per square foot installed. These are often chosen for traditional home styles and provide high durability (30–50 years) with specific benefits for hail-prone areas.

While standing seam systems involve more intricate installation requirements and concealed fasteners—making them more expensive than basic corrugated panels—metal shingles involve different aesthetic varieties and impact-resistant options that can lead to a higher total investment per square foot.
