If you’re thinking about upgrading to a metal roof in North Carolina, you’re probably asking: How much does a metal roof cost? In most cases, the cost ranges from $6 to $22 per square foot, depending on the type of metal, roof size, labor, and additional components. That means a 2,000 sq ft home could cost anywhere from $12,000 to $44,000.
Steel is typically the most affordable, while zinc and copper are premium options.
More angles, valleys, or skylights increase installation time and material waste.
Tearing off an old roof can add $1 to $5 per square foot.
These can account for 30% to 50% of the total project.
One of the biggest advantages of metal roofing is its energy performance. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, cool-metal roofing reflects more sunlight and absorbs less heat, helping reduce your air conditioning costs by up to 40% in hot climates like North Carolina.
The DOE notes that cool roofs can stay up to 50°F cooler than conventional dark roofs, which reduces demand on HVAC systems during peak summer months.
Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, homeowners may now claim a 30% federal tax credit, up to $1,200 per year, for installing certain types of energy-efficient roofing.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), metal roofing is often made with 25% to 95% recycled content and is fully recyclable at the end of its life.
Metal roofs last 40-70 years compared to traditional asphalt shingles (15-30 years), meaning fewer replacements and less waste over time.
