Metal Roofing in Rochester, NY
Thinking about switching to a metal roof in Rochester? We install standing seam metal that outlasts asphalt shingles by decades. We also install copper accent roof awnings that work on bay windows, porches, and dormers. throughout Rochester and surrounding areas in Monroe County.
Is a Metal Roof Worth It in Rochester?
Standing seam metal is worth it if you want a roof that outlasts you. It runs 50 years or more, sheds heavy Monroe County snow instead of holding it, and has concealed fasteners with nothing exposed to back out and leak.
Copper is a different job. We use it as accent work, on the parts of a house people actually look at, the bay window, the porch roof, the dormers, the entry awning. It costs more per square foot than steel, it is never painted, and it weathers from bright to brown to green on its own. If you are comparing against shingles, see asphalt shingles.

What Do Kaptein Contracting Customers Say?
It’s so nice when a quote and job expectations all come true! Kaptein gave us the best price for our roof tear-off, completed the job in one full day with a crew who was great and obviously hard working. Would 100% recommend without hesitation.

These guys tore out three layers of shingles, a heap of rotten wood and put in a perfect roof with new ventilation and left the property impeccably clean all in about a day and for a very fair price. Highly recommend!
Bret Levick · Google Review
Two years after installing our roof, they returned to inspect an issue that ended up being unrelated to their work. Not only did they check it thoroughly, they also cleaned and repaired the gutters. Highly recommended!

Metal Roofing Questions, Answered
Who installs metal roofing in Rochester, NY?
Kaptein Contracting installs metal roofing throughout Rochester, NY, Monroe County, and Wayne County. We are a family-run, fully insured, GAF Certified Plus contractor, roofing Rochester since 2006. We install standing seam metal roofs and copper accent roofing on homes and commercial buildings.
How much more does a metal roof cost than shingles?
A standing seam roof typically runs two to three times the cost of an architectural shingle roof up front. It also lasts two to three times as long, so the cost per year of service tends to land close. The right question is how long you are staying.
What is copper roofing used for?
Copper is accent work. It goes on bay windows, porch roofs, dormers, and entry awnings, the small visible sections where the metal is part of the look of the house. Full copper roofs exist, but almost nobody in Rochester is buying one.
Is a metal roof noisy in the rain?
No, and this is the myth we hear most. A metal roof over solid decking and underlayment is no louder in rain than shingles. The noise people remember is bare metal over open framing on a barn, which is a completely different assembly.
