Metal Roofing Contractor in San Francisco, CA

Homeowners searching for a metal roofing contractor near me in San Francisco need a crew that understands this city's steep hillside lots, dense tree canopy, and the marine fog and salt air that roll in off the Pacific. San Francisco Metal Roofing is a professional metal roofing contractor serving the city and surrounding areas, with a network of licensed, bonded, and insured local contractors who handle metal roof installation, replacement, re-roofs, and repairs on homes set on steep mountain pitches. We also work on the large stock of aging screw-down roofs whose fasteners are backing out, and we serve San Francisco, Daly City, South San Francisco, Pacifica, and San Mateo.

From Victorian and Edwardian homes in the Mission and Noe Valley to stucco row houses in the Sunset and Richmond districts, every roof here has its own quirks. Our team matches the right metal system to the home, whether that means a concealed-fastener standing seam roof on a modern infill or a careful repair on a low-slope roof hidden behind a parapet. To get started, request a free estimate and we will inspect your roof and give you straight guidance.

Metal Roof Repair, Leaks & Screw Replacement in San Francisco

Metal roofs leak for a handful of predictable reasons, and the most common one on 15 to 30 year old exposed-fastener roofs is fastener back-out. The EPDM sealing washer under each screw dries, shrinks, and cracks over time, so water finds its way past the fastener and into the roof assembly. Other frequent culprits include seam separation from thermal movement, failed pipe boots and flashing at chimneys, skylights, and valleys, wind-lifted panels after a storm, and punctures from fallen limbs. Each of these is a specific failure, not a mystery, and each has a specific fix.

Ignoring a small leak is expensive. Water tracks along purlins and decking far from the point of entry, so by the time you see a stain on the ceiling, the sheathing and insulation above it may already be wet and rotting. That is why we diagnose first and quote second. In many cases, a full screw replacement with new fasteners and sealing washers restores a watertight roof for a fraction of replacement cost, and we will tell you plainly when that is the right call. When the deck is compromised or the panels are at the end of their service life, replacement makes more sense, and we will say so.

For active leaks, storm damage, or a roof you suspect is failing, call (628) 356-4308 and we will schedule an inspection. You can also learn more about our metal roof leak repair services or contact us to describe what you are seeing. We will give you an honest repair-versus-replace recommendation, not a sales pitch.

Metal Roofing Systems We Install in San Francisco

We install the full range of metal roofing systems, and the right choice depends on your home, your budget, and how much maintenance you want to sign up for. Standing Seam Metal Roofing is the premium option: concealed clips, no exposed screws, and a clean look that suits modern infill and historic homes alike. Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing is the economical workhorse, well suited to cabins, barns, and workshops. We also install Metal Shingle Roofing, Stone-Coated Steel Roofing, and Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing for accents and distinctive homes.

The honest comparison is simple: standing seam costs more upfront but has no exposed fasteners to maintain, while screw-down costs less and needs its fasteners serviced over its life. We will also tell you when a Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit) is a legitimate option because the deck is sound, and when a full tear-off is the safer path because it is not. Matching the system to the home is the whole job.

How Much Does a Metal Roof Cost in San Francisco?

Metal roof projects are typically quoted per square foot for installation, while repairs are often flat-rate. The final number depends on the panel system and metal gauge, roof pitch and complexity, whether we tear off the old roof or recover it, the condition of the decking, and access to the roof. Because those factors vary so much from one San Francisco home to the next, we quote typical ranges and then confirm the details on site. Final pricing depends on the roof and site conditions, and we will never hand you a number before we have seen the roof.

Some carriers may offer premium discounts for metal or impact-rated roofs, though that is between you and your insurer. For a clearer picture of how projects are priced, visit our pricing page, then request a free estimate or free roof inspection so we can give you a real range for your home.

Storm Damage, Insurance Claims & Permits in San Francisco

If a storm has damaged your roof, we can inspect it 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 that a claim will be approved. What we can do is give you an accurate assessment of the damage and a clear scope of work so you can make an informed decision.

On permits, the rules are informational only and never advice. In most jurisdictions, a permit is commonly required for a full replacement or re-roof, but requirements vary by city, and thresholds, fees, and inspection requirements differ. Historic district or HOA design review can also affect panel profile and color choices, so it is worth checking early. Requirements vary, always verify with the San Francisco building or planning department before starting your project. If you have questions about your roof, contact us and we will walk you through what we see.
