What is the Metal Roofing Cost Per Square Foot?

Metal roofing cost varies greatly. You can expect to pay anywhere between $6.50 and $15.00 per square foot (or $650 to $1,500 per square) for steel shingle or standing seam panels, including installation[^1^][^2^]. A square is equivalent to 100 square feet of roof surface. Most residential steel roofs cost between $8,000 and $21,000 fully installed, depending on the size of the roof and the selected profile[^1^].
