How much does a metal roof cost per square foot?
In Boca Raton and the rest of Palm Beach County, an installed metal roof costs $6 to $18 per square foot. Where your job lands in that range depends mostly on the panel system:
- 5V crimp, corrugated and other exposed-fastener panels: $6 to $9 per square foot. Screws go through the face of the panel, which keeps the material and labor cost down.
- Stone-coated steel (metal tile): $8 to $12 per square foot. It is made to look like tile.
- Standing seam: $10 to $18 per square foot. The fasteners are hidden under the seams. See standing seam metal roofs.
- Copper or zinc: $15 to $25 or more per square foot, mostly on high-end architectural homes.
What does a metal roof cost for a 2,000 square foot home?
A typical 2,000 sq ft home in Boca Raton falls between $18,000 and $32,000 for a metal roof. Roof size and house size are different numbers, though: overhangs and pitch make most roofs larger than the floor plan, so use the roof area from your survey or estimate to read the table below.
| Roof size | 5V crimp or exposed fastener ($6 to $9 per sq ft) | Standing seam ($10 to $18 per sq ft) |
|---|---|---|
| 500 sq ft | $3,000 to $4,500 | $5,000 to $9,000 |
| 1,000 sq ft | $6,000 to $9,000 | $10,000 to $18,000 |
| 1,500 sq ft | $9,000 to $13,500 | $15,000 to $27,000 |
| 2,000 sq ft | $12,000 to $18,000 | $20,000 to $36,000 |
| 2,500 sq ft | $15,000 to $22,500 | $25,000 to $45,000 |
| 3,000 sq ft | $18,000 to $27,000 | $30,000 to $54,000 |
For a roof outside the table, multiply its area by the same ranges: 5,000 sq ft of standing seam works out to $50,000 to $90,000. The per-square-foot numbers include tear-off, the permit, and hurricane-rated underlayment required by Palm Beach County code. They do not include rotten decking found once the old roof is off.

By the same math, 500 sq ft of metal roof is $3,000 to $4,500 in 5V crimp and $5,000 to $9,000 in standing seam. Small roofs such as a porch, an addition or a detached garage usually come in above those numbers per square foot, because the permit ($200 to $600 in Boca Raton) and the cost of bringing a crew and equipment to the house do not shrink with the roof.

Tear-off or recover
Every price in this guide assumes the old roof comes off. Florida code limits when a metal roof can go over existing shingles and never allows it over tile; see can you put a metal roof over shingles in Florida before you price a recover. Metal roof replacement covers the full tear-off process.
Gauge, metal and distance to the ocean
Heavier gauge and aluminum cost more per square foot. The gauge and panel your roof needs come from the product approval for the assembly (snaplock vs nailstrip in Florida compares the gauges and uplift ratings in the approvals), and whether you need aluminum depends on how close the house sits to salt water (see aluminum vs Galvalume near the ocean).
Code requirements
Boca Raton and Palm Beach County require wind-rated panels, fastening and underlayment, and those requirements are part of the price. The 2026 Florida Building Code adds tested metal hip and ridge covers, drip edge rules and fastener limits near salt water, according to the Florida Building Commission's analysis of changes for the 9th Edition; see metal roof changes in the 2026 Florida Building Code.
Is a metal roof cheaper than a tile roof in Florida?
Concrete tile runs $8 to $14 per square foot installed, so 5V crimp ($6 to $9) comes in at or below tile and standing seam ($10 to $18) lands in the same range or above it. Metal weighs 1 to 3 lbs per square foot against 9 to 12 lbs for tile. The full comparison, including lifespan and hurricane performance, is in metal roof vs tile roof in Florida.

Inspections on or after April 1, 2026 use the revised form, OIR-B1-1802 (Rev. 04/26), according to a Citizens Property Insurance bulletin of March 19, 2026. Read the metal roof insurance discount guide for the line items.
