“We needed a metal roof on our new hay barn out past Gardendale and these guys knocked it out in about three days. The crew of four was professional and the 40x60 building looks sharp. No leaks so far after some heavy spring rain.”
Commercial Metal Roofing
“Our 1920s Tudor had a failing copper roof and honestly I was worried nobody around here would touch it. Birmingham Metal Roofing not only handled the copper work on the main gables but matched the patina beautifully. It was not cheap, but the craftsmanship is genuinely impressive.”
Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing
“They put a metal roof on our little lake cabin and it came out great, way better than I expected for the price. Only small thing was they had to come back a second day for the trim, but they kept me posted the whole time.”
Metal Roof Installation
“Had a standing seam roof installed on our brick ranch and I'm honestly relieved we went with these folks. The crew was respectful, cleaned up every single nail, and the dark bronze finish looks fantastic against the brick. Three months in and not a single issue.”
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
“We had a persistent leak right around our chimney and two other roofers just wanted to sell us a whole new roof. Birmingham Metal Roofing found the failed flashing, fixed it properly, and charged a fraction of what I expected. Grateful doesn't even cover it.”
Chimney & Skylight Repair
“Replaced our old asphalt roof on a 2,400 sq ft house surrounded by flowering trees, they worked around the landscaping carefully and finished in four days. The new metal roof looks clean and modern and the gutters they added match perfectly. Surprised how smooth the whole thing went.”
Metal Roof Replacement
“We did the retrofit over our existing shingles on our wood-sided home and it saved us a ton versus a full tear-off. Crew was in and out in three days and the corrugated panels look great. Would definitely use them again.”
Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit)
“Had them out to inspect the metal roof on our stone house after that big storm rolled through. They found a few loose fasteners, replaced the screws, and gave me a full written report with photos. Fair pricing and no pushy upsell, exactly what I wanted.”

Homeowners searching for a metal roofing contractor near me in Birmingham usually want the same thing: a straight answer about what their roof actually needs. Birmingham Metal Roofing is a local contractor network serving Birmingham, Mountain Brook, Hoover, Homewood, Vestavia Hills, and the surrounding communities, handling metal roof installation, replacement, re-roofs, and repairs on homes across the ridges and valleys of Jefferson and Shelby counties. We work on the steep mountain pitches, heavy oak and pine cover, and high-elevation exposure that define roofs here, along with the large stock of aging screw-down roofs whose fasteners are reaching the end of their service life.
From Craftsman bungalows in Glen Iris to brick ranches in Homewood and newer two-story homes stepping up the ridges in Hoover and Trussville, the right metal system depends on the house, the deck, and how the roof sheds water. If you are ready for an honest assessment, request a free estimate and we will tell you plainly what we see.
Most metal roof leaks in Birmingham trace back to a handful of predictable failures, and the dominant one is fasteners backing out. On 15 to 30 year old exposed-fastener roofs, the EPDM sealing washers under each screw dry out, shrink, and crack, and the fastener itself can work loose from thermal movement. Once that seal fails, water finds the hole. The other common culprits are seam separation where panels expand and contract, failed pipe boots and flashing at chimneys, skylights, and valleys, wind-lifted panels after a spring or late-fall storm, and punctures from fallen limbs on wooded lots.
Ignoring a small leak is expensive. Water tracks along purlins and decking and often shows up inside far from where it entered, which means rotted sheathing and saturated insulation can be well advanced before a stain appears on the ceiling. That is why we inspect the whole assembly, not just the wet spot, and why we give you a clear repair versus replace recommendation. In many cases, a full screw replacement and re-fastening with new sealing washers restores a watertight roof for a fraction of what replacement costs, and we will say so when that is the right call.
For active leaks, separated seams, or storm damage, call (205) 946-3891 and we will schedule an inspection. Our metal roof leak repair work starts with finding the true source, then correcting the flashing, fastener, or seam that failed so the fix holds through the next storm season.
We install the full range of metal systems and match them to the home rather than pushing one product. Standing Seam Metal Roofing uses concealed clips and hidden fasteners for a clean, premium roof with no exposed screws to maintain. Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing is the economical workhorse for cabins, barns, and workshops. We also install Metal Shingle Roofing, Stone-Coated Steel Roofing, and Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing for accents and historic profiles.
The honest comparison is simple: standing seam costs more up front but has no exposed fasteners to service, while screw-down costs less and needs its fasteners checked and replaced over the roof's life. When the deck is sound, Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit) can be a legitimate way to save on tear-off and disposal, and when it is not, we recommend a full tear-off. We will tell you which applies to your roof.
Metal roof projects in Birmingham are typically quoted per square foot for installations, while repairs are often priced flat-rate by the scope of work. What moves the number is the panel system and metal gauge, roof pitch and complexity, whether we tear off or recover, the condition of the decking, and access around the home. Typical ranges vary widely by those factors, and final pricing depends on the roof and site conditions, so we quote after an on-site inspection rather than over the phone.
Some carriers may offer premium discounts for metal or impact-rated roofs, though that is between you and your insurer. For a clearer picture of how projects are priced, see our pricing page, then request a free estimate or free roof inspection so we can give you real numbers for your home.
After a hail or wind event, we inspect the roof and provide written documentation with photos that you may submit to your own insurer. We are not an insurance adjuster or agent, coverage decisions rest with your carrier, and we make no promise that a claim will be approved. What we can do is document the damage accurately and explain what we find in plain terms.
On permits, this is informational only. In most jurisdictions a permit is commonly required for a full replacement or re-roof, but requirements vary by city, and thresholds, fees, and inspection requirements differ. Historic district or HOA design review can also affect panel profile and color choices, and recover over existing shingles may be limited by code. Requirements vary, so always verify with the Birmingham building or planning department before starting your project. If you have questions about documentation or scheduling, contact us.
