When someone thinks of standing seam, a picture of the bold, clean lines that makes standing seam so attractive most likely comes to mind. However, that mental picture is most likely up on a roof.

Metal roofing has gained popularity in recent years for its unique style and long-lasting performance. Standing seam is the premium metal roofing profile type. Because of the sleek appearance, it’s being used in more and more contemporary housing and commercial buildings.

When you’re picking out a roof, it’s fair to be focused on factors such as how your roof will look, how much it costs and how long it will last.

You’re ready to build or remodel your dream house and you’re trying to decide between asphalt shingles, corrugated metal roofing, or standing seam. At Western States Metal Roofing, one of the first questions we get is “How much does standing seam metal roofing cost?” The steel shortage and price increases throughout 2021 made that a more challenging question to answer as the pricing of steel was volatile and rapidly increasing. Now that the price of steel has started to stabilize, we can give you a more accurate range of what to expect for standing seam pricing in 2022.

At Western States Metal Roofing, customers ask us all the time which residential metal roofing panel is best for their home.
