The Cost for a Metal Roof in Fernandina with a 26 Gauge Maxi-Rib screw-down panel

Screw-down metal roofs are also called agricultural roofing. Better known as maxi-rib, or multi-rib metal roofing. This metal roof was originally designed for agricultural use such as in barns and warehouses. 

A screw-down roof is much easier to install, so it requires less labor. The materials are also less expensive than the standing seam metal roof. You get the look of a traditional metal roof without the upfront investment. The main difference is you will have exposed fasteners and these exposed fasteners will require maintenance typically around 5 to 10 years after being installed.

For a screw-down metal roof on a home in Fernandina Beach with 2 straight sides and no chimneys, skylights, or valleys the average cost is $16,500.

For a screw-down metal roof on a more complex home in Fernandina Beach with 2 stories, with a couple of valleys, dormers, and walls, the average cost is $22,750.

For a screw-down metal roof on a complex home with 2 or more stories, with many facets and valleys, the average cost is $29,000.

The 5-V metal roof is another screw-down metal roof, also called a barn roof. This metal roof was originally designed for barns and then farmers started using it on their farm homes, imagine that! This roof is one of the first agricultural panels to be installed on traditional homes. 

Again, less upfront investment because the materials and labor required to install this roof are slightly less expensive than the standing seam metal. Due to the expansion and contraction and exposed fasteners, you can expect to do some maintenance to the exposed screws between the 5 to 10-year range.

For a screw-down metal roof on a home with 2 straight sides and not much flashing work, the average cost is $19,200.

For a screw-down metal roof on a home with a split level or 2 stories a little more complex, with a chimney, dormers, and skylights, the average cost is $25,450.
