## Price

$1100-$1700 roofing square (100 sq ft) installed. 2026 published national installed pricing for aluminum panel systems ($11-17/sq ft, HomeGuide 2026).

## What's included

- On-site inspection and a written per-square price before any work starts
- Aluminum panel system selection — standing seam or exposed-fastener — matched to budget and roofline
- 3105/5052-grade aluminum roofing coil in the gauge your roof calls for
- Fastening system engineered for Boise's thermal swing
- High-temperature synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water membrane where needed
- Custom-fabricated flashing and trim
- Corrosion-resistant hardware throughout, matched to the aluminum panel to avoid galvanic reaction
- Full site cleanup and haul-away

## Process

01. **Free on-site inspection** - We walk the roof and hand you a written per-square price for the aluminum system and finish that fit your roof.
02. **Permit and panel order** - We pull the permit and order aluminum panels in the finish and gauge your roof needs.
03. **Install** - Underlayment, flashing, and panels go in per manufacturer spec, with fasteners and trim matched to avoid galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals.
04. **Inspection and walkthrough** - Final inspection, cleanup, and we walk the finished roof with you.

## When it's needed

- Weight-sensitive structure or older framing where reduced roof load matters
- Heavy irrigation/sprinkler overspray on a lower roof and want maximum corrosion resistance
- Comparing steel vs. aluminum for a new metal roof

## FAQ

**Why choose aluminum over steel in an inland climate like Boise's?**

Aluminum's main advantage — resisting corrosion in salt-air or coastal environments — matters less here than it would near an ocean. In the Treasure Valley, aluminum is worth considering mainly for its lighter weight on structures with load limits, or for properties with heavy irrigation overspray where corrosion resistance still has real value.

**Is aluminum roofing more expensive than steel?**

Slightly, typically $11-17/sq ft installed versus $10-16/sq ft for steel — close enough that the choice usually comes down to weight, finish preference, or a specific corrosion concern rather than cost alone.

**Does aluminum dent more easily than steel?**

Aluminum is softer than steel, so a lighter-gauge aluminum panel can dent more easily under hail impact than a comparable-gauge steel panel. Heavier gauge aluminum closes most of that gap — we'll walk through the tradeoff for your specific roof.

**Can aluminum roofing go over an existing structure with weight limits?**

Yes — aluminum's lighter weight is exactly why it gets specified on structures where added roof-load matters, like some older framing or accessory structures. We'll confirm your structure's requirements before recommending it.
