Metal roof cost in Orlando by system
The system you pick moves the price more than anything else. The table puts two national cost guides next to JA Edwards, an Orlando roofer that publishes metal prices on its own site.
The national figures are per square foot of roof, installed. The JA Edwards figures are whole-roof totals for a typical Orlando house.
| Metal system | HomeGuide, Nov 2025 (per sq ft) | Angi, 2026 (per sq ft) | JA Edwards, Orlando (whole roof) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standing seam | $9–$16 | $10–$16 for steel (Oct 2026) | $18,000–$35,000 |
| Metal shingle | $6–$14 | $7–$22 (Sep 2026) | $12,000–$22,000 |
| Stone-coated steel | $7–$13 ($700–$1,300 per square) | Not broken out | $12,000–$22,000 (grouped with metal shingle) |
| Exposed-fastener (5V, corrugated) | $5–$12 | $3.50–$15 for corrugated (Sep 2026) | Not published |
Standing seam is the most expensive system in every source. JA Edwards puts that down to a more complex install. Exposed-fastener panels are the cheapest, and Angi says visible-fastener systems run 30% to 50% less than hidden-fastener ones.
Statewide averages say less about metal roof cost in Orlando. Angi's 2026 data puts the average Florida metal roof replacement at $12,000, and HomeGuide gives a Florida range of $7,100 to $38,000. Both blend every metal type and roof size, so the per-square-foot rows will get you closer.

JA Edwards' published Orlando metal prices
JA Edwards of America, on Weber Street in Orlando, is one of the few local roofers that posts metal prices. Its metal roofing page lists $18,000 to $35,000 for standing seam and $12,000 to $22,000 for metal shingle or stone-coated steel.
Its 2026 roof replacement cost guide is narrower. It prices standing seam at $18,000 to $30,000 for a one-story home of 1,600 to 2,200 sq ft.
The same guide shows where metal sits locally: architectural shingles at $9,000 to $14,000, concrete tile at $16,000 to $24,000. These are one roofer's ranges, not a quote for your house.
What moves a metal roof price
Roof size in squares
Roofers price by the square, which is 100 sq ft of roof surface. HomeGuide says contractors add 10% to 15% to the material cost for waste on complex roofs.
Pitch
HomeGuide flags roofs steeper than 6:12 for extra labor, equipment and safety measures. JA Edwards says the same in its Orlando pricing: crews work slower on a steep roof and need more safety gear.
Tear-off
Removing the old roof costs $1 to $3 per sq ft in HomeGuide's guide, or $1,000 to $5,000 a job in Angi's. Check whether your quote includes it, because HomeGuide prices it separately from installation.
Decking
Rotten plywood under the old roof gets replaced, at $2 to $5 per sq ft in both national guides. JA Edwards prices it at $75 to $150 per sheet in Orlando, where it says humidity and house age make soft decking a common find.
Nobody can count bad sheets until the old roof is off. A per-sheet price written into the contract beats "as needed."
Gauge
A lower gauge number means thicker steel, and Angi calls 24-gauge the most common standing seam panel. HomeGuide prices 24-gauge material at $3 to $7 per sq ft, against $1.50 to $5 for 26-gauge.
Gauge can change the warranty, too. Gravity Roofing gives 10 years of workmanship coverage on its 24-gauge standing seam and 7 years on its 26-gauge exposed-fastener roofs.
Finish and color
HomeGuide says custom colors that need special manufacturing raise the per-square-foot price. Finish warranties depend on the panel maker: the Tri County Metals panels Thomas Roofing installs carry 25- to 40-year warranties on color, chalk and fade.
Permits
JA Edwards puts Orlando-area roof permits at $150 to $350, depending on whether the City of Orlando, Orange County or Winter Garden issues it. HomeGuide's national range is $150 to $500, and it notes most estimates already include the permit.
Metal roof cost in Orlando for a 2,200 sq ft house
JA Edwards' numbers are the best local answer, because its 2026 guide is built on homes this size. For a one-story house of 1,600 to 2,200 sq ft, it puts standing seam at $18,000 to $30,000.
To run the math yourself, you need roof area, not floor area. Roof area is measured along the slope and includes the overhangs, so a one-story house usually has more roof than floor. A two-story 2,200 sq ft house sits on about half that footprint and needs far less roof.
Worked example: a roof that measures 22 squares (2,200 sq ft of roof surface), priced at HomeGuide's November 2025 installed rates. Swap in your roofer's measurement for the 22.
| Metal system | HomeGuide rate per sq ft | 22-square roof |
|---|---|---|
| Standing seam | $9–$16 | $19,800–$35,200 |
| Metal shingle | $6–$14 | $13,200–$30,800 |
| Stone-coated steel | $7–$13 | $15,400–$28,600 |
| Exposed-fastener 5V | $5–$12 | $11,000–$26,400 |
Add $2,200 to $6,600 for tear-off if the quote leaves it out, plus the permit and any decking. The standing seam line lands close to JA Edwards' local range, which suggests the national rates hold up in Orlando.
Financing from Orlando metal roofers
Metlok, one of our sponsors, says it offers several financing programs, including some with no money down. Universal Roof & Contracting, also a sponsor, says financing is available and that it will run metal and shingle cost-over-time numbers at the inspection.
JA Edwards finances metal roofs through Slice and Improvifi. Rates and terms depend on your credit, so get them in writing before you compare monthly payments.
Metlok's November offer takes $3,500 off a new Metlok roof when the agreement is signed by November 30, 2026. It doesn't apply to repairs.
Comparing metal roof quotes
A low metal roof cost in Orlando can simply mean a quote that leaves things out. Quotes only compare when they price the same roof. Each one should name the system, gauge, panel brand, underlayment, tear-off, decking rate and permit.
For metal that looks like slate or shingles, Metlok, one of our sponsors, makes and installs its own pressed-steel shingles. Universal Roof & Contracting, also a sponsor, installs standing seam, stone-coated steel and metal tile. Its free inspection comes with photos and a written report.
