What’s different about Phoenix

Phoenix is Arizona's largest market, where rapid growth keeps contractors busy and intense desert heat demands UV-stable roofing and finishes.

  • Reflective metal roofing cuts cooling costs in hot, sunny climates.

How the cost is built

Metal-roof cost is driven by panel type (corrugated and ribbed steel are cheaper; standing-seam, aluminum, copper, and zinc cost more), roof complexity, and gauge. Metal costs about twice as much as asphalt upfront but lasts 40–60 years, so its cost per year is often lower.
