EDCO Products · Interlocking Metal Shingle Roofing

Generations® HD Steel Roofing

HD imaging provides natural weathered dimensions to traditional hand-split cedar shakes.

What it costs, and why

Installed, most Generations® HD Steel Roofing roofs we put on land between $1,300–$1,750 per square. A square is 100 square feet of roof, and that figure includes tearing off one layer of shingles.

Where yours lands depends on the roof more than the product. A second layer to tear off, soft decking we only find once the old roof is open, a steep pitch, and a lot of valleys, dormers, chimneys and skylights all push it up. A simple, walkable roof with one layer sits near the low end.

This is a range, not a quote. I would not give you a real number without seeing the roof, and I would be careful with anyone who does. If the up-front number is the whole question, how a metal roof costs out over thirty years is the better place to start.
