Metal Roofing Boise is a roofing company serving Boise and the Treasure Valley, and aluminum roofing is one of the services we handle most. This page covers what the work involves here specifically — the climate, the code, and what it costs — rather than what it involves in general.

What we do on the first visit

The first visit is an inspection, not a sales call. We walk the roof with you, check the deck from the attic side where we can, count valleys and penetrations, and note the pitch and how much staging or safety equipment the job needs. We confirm whether any prior layers are on the roof already — code allows a maximum of two before a full tear-off is required — and then you get a written per-square price with tear-off and any deck repair as separate lines.

If we think repair is the better spend than replacement, or a different material suits your situation better, we say so on that visit — including when it means the smaller job for us.

Questions

Aluminum Roofing questions

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.

Do you charge for an estimate?

No. Estimates are free across Boise and the Treasure Valley, including the drive. We walk the roof with you, check the deck from the attic side where we can, and hand you a written per-square price with tear-off and any deck repair broken out as their own lines.
