Metal Roofing Contractors in Birmingham, AL
Capstone Roofing
Capstone Roofing installs and repairs metal roofs for homes and businesses in Birmingham, AL. We are a certified Berridge installer and a GAF Certified roofing contractor, family-owned and serving Birmingham since 2013.
A standing seam metal roof can last 50 years or more, stands up to hail and high wind, and helps keep your home cooler through Alabama summers. Estimates are free, and we offer affordable monthly options.
Types of Metal Roofing We Install
Standing seam metal roofing. Panels lock together with raised seams and hidden fasteners, so there are no exposed screws to loosen or leak. This is the premium choice for homes and commercial buildings, and as a certified Berridge installer we install architectural standing seam systems with strong manufacturer warranties.
Exposed-fastener (screw-down) panels. Panels are screwed directly to the roof deck. They cost less up front and work well on barns, workshops, porches and budget-conscious projects, but the screws need periodic checking.
Copper roofing and accents. Copper bay windows, dormers, porch roofs and flashing add character and develop a natural patina over time.
Compare the two main types in our guide: Standing Seam vs. Screw-Down Metal Roofs.

Metal Roof Cost in Birmingham
Capstone Roofing
Metal roof pricing depends on the panel type (standing seam costs more than screw-down), the metal and finish, roof size and pitch, and how many valleys, chimneys and skylights need custom flashing. Tearing off an existing roof adds cost.
We will measure your roof and give you a written estimate for each option, so you can compare. Affordable monthly options are available.

FAQs
Questions & Answers
Capstone Roofing
Yes, metal roofing is highly durable and designed to withstand even the toughest weather conditions, including strong winds and hail.
It depends on the type. A standing seam metal roof can last 50 years or more, while exposed-fastener (screw-down) panels typically last 15 to 25 years before the fasteners and panels need major work.
No, contrary to popular belief, metal roofs are not significantly noisier during rainstorms. With proper insulation and underlayment, the sound of rain on a metal roof is similar to other roofing materials.
Yes, metal roofing is energy-efficient. It reflects sunlight, reducing the amount of heat absorbed by the roof and ultimately lowering cooling costs during hot summer months.
No, modern metal roofs are made from corrosion-resistant materials such as galvanized steel or aluminum. With proper maintenance and regular inspections, rusting is not a common issue.
Sometimes. Building codes may allow metal over one layer of shingles, but we usually recommend tear-off so we can inspect and repair the deck underneath. We will tell you which makes sense for your roof.
Metal usually costs more up front than shingles, but a standing seam roof can last much longer and needs little maintenance.
No. Metal reflects sunlight, so attics often run cooler. With solid decking and underlayment, rain sounds about the same as on a shingle roof.
