## Price

$1000-$1800 roofing square (100 sq ft) installed. 2026 published national installed pricing for steel and aluminum standing seam ($10-18/sq ft, HomeGuide/Angi), cross-checked against mysignatureroofing.com's Boise-specific $12-18/sq ft standing seam quote.

## What's included

- On-site inspection and a written per-square price before any work starts
- Panel profile selection — snap-lock or mechanical seam — matched to your roof's pitch and length
- Floating clip fastening so panels expand and contract with Boise's daily and seasonal temperature swing without loosening
- Steel or aluminum panel in 24-26 gauge steel or .032/.040 aluminum, Galvalume or Kynar 500/PVDF finish
- High-temperature synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water membrane at eaves, valleys, and penetrations
- Custom-fabricated flashing, ridge caps, and closures cut for this roof, not generic stock trim
- Snow guards placed over entries, walkways, and lower roofs — standing seam sheds snow in sheets
- Full site cleanup and haul-away of any prior roofing removed

## Process

01. **Free on-site inspection** - We walk the roof, measure panel runs, and hand you a written per-square price for the profile and finish that fit your roof and budget.
02. **Permit and panel fabrication** - We pull the reroofing permit and order panels cut to your roof's exact run lengths — standing seam is measured, not laid from a stock bundle.
03. **Install with floating clips** - Underlayment and flashing go down to spec, then panels are set with floating clips so the system can move with the seasons without the panel itself ever being pierced in the field.
04. **Inspection and walkthrough** - Final inspection, cleanup, and we walk the finished roof with you before we leave.

## When it's needed

- Rebuilding or replacing a roof and want a 40-70 year system instead of another 20-30 year reroof
- Existing exposed-fastener roof with backing-out screws you're tired of servicing
- Steep or architecturally visible roofline where the clean seam lines matter
- Low-slope section that exposed-fastener panels aren't rated to handle
- Want the reduced insurance-discount eligibility some Idaho carriers offer for standing seam

## FAQ

**Why does standing seam cost more than exposed-fastener?**

The floating-clip fastening system, panel fabrication to exact run lengths, and heavier-gauge material all add labor and material cost over a stock exposed-fastener panel. In exchange you get a system with no field-penetrated fasteners to back out over time — most of the cost difference is in not having to service it again in ten years.

**Is standing seam noisy in the rain?**

Less than people expect once it's installed over solid decking with proper underlayment — the deck and underlayment absorb most of the sound. It's the open-purlin, no-deck installs (common on pole barns) that carry more sound indoors, which is one reason we don't recommend that approach on occupied living space.

**What's oil-canning and will it happen to my roof?**

Oil-canning is the wavy, rippled look that can appear on flat panel sections, mostly cosmetic and more visible on lighter colors and lower-gauge panels in direct low-angle sun. Heavier gauge panels, striations rolled into the panel face, and correct clip spacing all reduce it — see our full oil-canning guide for what actually prevents it.

**Do you install standing seam on low-slope sections?**

Yes, mechanical-seam standing seam is rated down to roughly a 1:12 pitch when properly sealed, well below what exposed-fastener panels can handle. Snap-lock systems need a steeper minimum pitch — we'll tell you which profile your roof's slope actually calls for.
