What’s different about Missouri
Missouri's position in the severe-storm belt brings hail and wind exposure, and humid summers add to ongoing exterior maintenance.
- Metal roofing resists hail and high wind, a real plus in storm-prone states.
- Humidity favors moisture- and mildew-resistant materials.
Expect quotes toward the higher end in Missouri’s larger metros — Kansas City, Saint Louis, and Springfield — where labor and permit costs run above the state average, and lower in rural areas.
How the cost is built
Metal-roof cost is driven by panel type (corrugated and ribbed steel are cheaper; standing-seam, aluminum, copper, and zinc cost more), roof complexity, and gauge. Metal costs about twice as much as asphalt upfront but lasts 40–60 years, so its cost per year is often lower.
Resale value
A standing-seam metal roof recoups roughly 48–60% of its cost at resale, per the annual Remodeling Cost vs. Value report, while lasting two to three times longer than asphalt.
