Birmingham's roofscape is as varied as its hills, from the 1920s Craftsman bungalows of Highland Park to the brick ranches of Homewood and the new builds stepping up the ridges in Hoover. Metal roofing fits that mix well, and we've installed it on everything from Forest Park Tudors to lake cabins out in Blount County.
When your roof starts leaking after a spring storm or you're tired of replacing asphalt every dozen years, call Birmingham Metal Roofing at (205) 946-3891. We're based right here in 35203, we know how Red Mountain heat and Dixie Alley wind treat a roof, and we're a Metal Roofing Alliance member with fully insured crews.
Metal Roofing in Birmingham (35203)
Birmingham sits in the Appalachian foothills, and that means steep wooded lots, long hot humid summers, and spring and late-fall tornadoes that have left their mark from Fultondale to Center Point. A metal roof here has to handle hail, wind-lifted panels, and the occasional ice storm at the eaves. We see a lot of active leaks through failed fasteners and flashing gaps on older homes, and fallen-limb punctures after every big blow. The housing stock ranges from 1900s foursquares on the hills of Highland Park and Redmont Park to post-war brick ranches in Vestavia Hills and two-story brick homes in Trussville and Shelby County. Each one needs a different approach to ventilation, panel profile, and color, especially in historic districts where design review can restrict what you can install.
Our team has worked these neighborhoods for years. We handle standing seam, corrugated panels, stone-coated steel, and copper, and we know which profiles hold up best against our weather. We also understand local permitting. Roofing permits are commonly required for a full replacement or re-roof, and thresholds and fees vary by jurisdiction, so we always check with the local building department before we start. You can find contact information for city offices on Birmingham's official city site. If you're in a historic district or an HOA, we'll help you navigate the design review so there are no surprises.

How a Job Works in Birmingham
Step 1: You call us at (205) 946-3891 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site assessment, inspect your roof and attic, and talk through options, whether that's a repair, a retrofit over existing shingles, or a full replacement. We'll also check for storm damage and document anything your insurance might cover.
Step 2: Once you approve the scope and price, we pull the required permits and schedule the work. On tight lots in Forest Park or steep driveways in Mountain Brook, we plan material delivery and staging carefully so we don't block neighbors or damage landscaping. Our insured crews handle everything from tear-off to flashing and gutter work, and we keep you posted on progress.
Step 3: When the job is done, we clean up thoroughly, haul away old materials, and walk the property with you. We make sure you're satisfied with the installation, the cleanup, and the final look before we call it complete.
Pricing for metal roofing in Birmingham depends on the material, the size and pitch of your roof, access, and the condition of the existing structure. As a ballpark, metal roof installation starts around $8 per square foot, standing seam from $10, and replacement from $9. If you're retrofitting over existing shingles, that starts at $7 per square foot, though code limits how many layers you can cover. Repairs and leak fixes start at $450, screw replacement and re-fastening at $750, and flashing or chimney repair at $600. Coating and painting starts at $2.50 per square foot, and gutters for metal roofs run from $9 per linear foot. We give free estimates and explain exactly what drives the cost for your home.
