## Price

$700-$1200 roofing square (100 sq ft) installed. 2026 published national installed pricing for exposed-fastener/corrugated panels ($7-12/sq ft, HomeGuide), cross-checked against mysignatureroofing.com's Boise-specific $8-12/sq ft exposed-fastener quote.

## What's included

- On-site inspection and a written per-square price before any work starts
- Panel profile selection — corrugated, R-panel, or 5V-crimp — matched to your roof and budget
- Fastener spacing and pattern held to manufacturer spec, not stretched to save screws
- Neoprene-washer fasteners sized and torqued correctly so the seal actually holds
- High-temperature synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water membrane at eaves and valleys
- Trim, closures, and flashing cut and fitted for this roof
- Snow guards where the roof overhangs an entry, walkway, or lower roof
- Full site cleanup and haul-away of any prior roofing removed

## Process

01. **Free on-site inspection** - We walk the roof and hand you a written per-square price for the panel profile that fits your budget and roofline.
02. **Permit and panel order** - We pull the reroofing permit and order panels in the exact profile, gauge, and finish your roof needs.
03. **Install to spec** - Underlayment and flashing go down first, then panels are fastened at manufacturer-spec spacing with correctly torqued neoprene-washer screws — the single biggest factor in whether this roof leaks or backs out fasteners in five years.
04. **Inspection and walkthrough** - Final inspection, cleanup, and we walk the finished roof with you before we leave.

## When it's needed

- Budget-conscious metal reroof where standing seam's price isn't the right fit
- Barn, shop, or outbuilding that doesn't need standing seam's architectural finish
- Existing exposed-fastener roof with visibly backed-out or rusting screws
- Panel seams showing daylight or leaking at fastener rows

## FAQ

**Will the screws back out over time?**

It's the most common exposed-fastener service call, and it's largely preventable with correct torque and spacing at install — over-driven or under-driven screws are what fail early under Boise's thermal cycling. We hold to manufacturer spec, and we tell you honestly that some future re-torquing is still part of owning this system, unlike standing seam.

**How does exposed-fastener compare to standing seam on cost?**

Exposed-fastener runs roughly $700-1,200 per square installed versus $1,000-1,800 for standing seam here — the upfront savings comes with periodic fastener maintenance standing seam doesn't need. See our full comparison guide for the tradeoffs.

**Which panel profile is best — corrugated, R-panel, or 5V-crimp?**

Corrugated is the most economical and most common on shops and barns. R-panel is a step up in rigidity and is common on both ag buildings and homes. 5V-crimp gives a look closer to standing seam at a lower price, but still uses exposed fasteners. We'll walk you through which fits your roof and budget at the inspection.

**Is exposed-fastener a good choice for a house, or just outbuildings?**

It works fine on houses and is common in this market — it's a legitimate budget metal option, not just a shop material. The main tradeoff versus standing seam is the periodic fastener maintenance, which is worth knowing going in rather than being surprised by later.
