Metal Roofing Contractor in Seattle, WA
Homeowners searching for a metal roofing contractor near me in Seattle need a crew that understands what this climate and housing stock actually do to a roof. Seattle Metal Roofing is your local source for metal roof installation, full replacement, re-roofing, and repair, serving Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, and Renton. From steep Craftsman bungalows in Ballard and Wallingford to hilltop Victorians on Queen Anne and modern infill townhomes with standing seam, we match the system to the structure.
We work under tall Douglas firs and western red cedars, on roofs shaded through long gray winters, where moss, algae, and steady rain test every fastener. Add atmospheric-river storms, occasional snow, and a large stock of aging screw-down roofs, and the details matter. Our network of licensed, bonded, and insured local contractors handles everything from urgent metal roof repair to premium standing seam installs.
Metal Roof Repair, Leaks & Screw Replacement in Seattle
Most metal roof leaks in Seattle start at a fastener. On exposed-fastener roofs that are 15 to 30 years old, the EPDM sealing washers under each screw dry out, shrink, and crack, so the screw that once sealed now lets water in. The second most common cause is seam separation from thermal movement, where panels expand and contract and a seam opens just enough to track water. Failed pipe boots and flashing at chimneys, skylights, and valleys are next, followed by wind-lifted panels after a Pacific windstorm and punctures from fallen limbs.
Ignoring a small leak is expensive. Water travels along purlins and decking far from the entry point, so you may see a stain on a ceiling across the room from the actual gap. That path rots sheathing and damages insulation long before the drip becomes obvious. Our metal roof leak repair starts with finding the true source, not just sealing the stain.
Here is the honest call: if the panels are sound and the problem is fasteners, a full screw replacement with new sealing washers often restores a watertight roof for a fraction of replacement cost. If seams are failing across the whole roof or the panels are corroded through, replacement is the better money. Call (425) 648-6332 to talk it through, or request a free estimate.
Metal Roofing Systems We Install in Seattle
We install the full range of metal systems. Standing Seam Metal Roofing uses concealed clips and a raised seam, so there are no exposed screws to maintain. Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing is the economical workhorse for cabins, barns, and workshops. We also install Metal Shingle Roofing, Stone-Coated Steel Roofing, and Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing for accents and historic profiles.
The honest comparison: standing seam costs more up front and has no exposed screws to service; screw-down costs less and needs its fasteners checked and replaced over its life. Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit) is a legitimate option when the existing deck is sound, and a full tear-off is correct when it is not.
How Much Does a Metal Roof Cost in Seattle?
Metal roof installation in Seattle is typically quoted per square foot, while repairs are often flat-rate. Price depends on the panel system and metal gauge, roof pitch and complexity, tear-off versus recover, decking condition, and access. Figures you see online are typical ranges only, and final pricing depends on the roof and site conditions. Some carriers may offer premium discounts for metal or impact-rated roofs, but that is between you and your insurer.

Storm Damage, Insurance Claims & Permits in Seattle
After a windstorm or fallen limb, we inspect and provide written documentation with photos that you may submit to your own insurer. We are not an insurance adjuster or agent, coverage decisions rest with your carrier, and we make no promise a claim will be approved. On permits: in most jurisdictions a permit is commonly required for a full replacement, but requirements vary by city, and historic district or HOA design review can affect panel profile and color choices. Requirements vary, always verify with the Seattle building or planning department before starting your project. Contact us with questions.
