## Price

$1,550-$3,400 roofing square (100 sq ft), installed. Valentine Roofing's WA-wide contractor-published range ($39,000-$85,000 for a full metal roof), divided over a typical 25-square home.

## What's included

- Standing-seam panel system installed to manufacturer wind-uplift spec for direct Puget Sound exposure
- Coating-system selection (PVDF/Galvalume-class finishes) appropriate to salt-air corrosion risk near the waterfront
- Fastener selection matched to coastal corrosion resistance, not a generic inland spec
- Full tear-off to the deck, with rotten sheathing replaced and priced separately
- New flashing and underlayment at every penetration
- A realistic maintenance schedule for a coastal-adjacent metal roof

## Process

01. **Free inspection** - We assess the deck, existing roof, and the property's proximity to salt-air exposure near Port Gardner or the Snohomish River.
02. **Coating and panel selection** - Panel profile and coating system chosen for wind-uplift resistance and coastal corrosion resistance where relevant.
03. **Tear-off and install** - Deck repaired where needed, underlayment and flashing installed, standing-seam panels installed to manufacturer spec.
04. **Final walkthrough** - Cleanup and a walkthrough of the finished roof, plus a maintenance schedule sized to the property's exposure.

## When it's needed

- Considering a material upgrade for better wind resistance on an exposed lot
- An existing metal roof showing visible corrosion or coating failure
- Wanting a 40+ year roof rather than repeating an asphalt replacement cycle
- A waterfront or bluff-lot property with direct Sound exposure
- Fastener backout or panel seam separation on an older metal roof

## FAQ

**Is metal roofing worth it for a waterfront-exposed Everett home?**

It resists wind uplift better than shingle in a windstorm, and lasts 40-70 years versus asphalt's 17-30. The tradeoff is higher upfront cost and the need for the right coating system to manage salt-air corrosion near the water — we'll tell you honestly whether your specific lot's exposure justifies it.

**Does salt air actually corrode a metal roof?**

Yes, over time, without the right coating system — proximity to Port Gardner and the Port of Everett marina is a real factor we account for when specifying panel finish and fasteners.

**How long does a metal roof last here?**

40-70 years generally, though coastal salt-air exposure can shorten effective service life by an estimated 25-30% without the right coating system — which is exactly why we specify coatings by property location, not a single default.
