Why Some Homeowners Choose Metal
Metal roof replacement in Broken Arrow, OK is a bigger upfront spend than shingles, and for some households it is worth it. Metal panels shed rain quickly, weigh less than many other roofing materials and usually last a long time with little upkeep. We connect you with a registered local roofer who works with metal, inspects for free and prices both options so you can compare.
Look around Green Country and most homes still wear architectural shingles over brick and siding. Metal is less common on houses here, which appeals to some owners and worries others. A good roofer will show you panel profiles and colors that suit a ranch or two-story home, not just a barn.
Jobs That Fall Under Metal Roof Replacement
- Standing seam panels. Long panels with raised seams and hidden fasteners. This style costs more but has fewer exposed screws to maintain over the years.
- Exposed-fastener panels. Ribbed panels screwed through the face. They cost less, but the screw washers age and need checking from time to time.
- Shingle-to-metal conversions. Old shingles are torn off, the deck is repaired, and new underlayment goes down before the panels are installed.
- Trim and flashing. Ridge caps, eave and rake trim, valley flashing and pipe boots made for metal keep water out at the edges and joints.
- Ventilation. Ridge and soffit vents are planned with the new roof so the attic can breathe in an Oklahoma summer.
- Low-slope sections. Porches and additions with gentle pitches may need a specific panel or seam type, which the roofer will point out.
The Cost of Metal Roof Replacement
In the Tulsa-area estimator data we use, installed metal ranges from $6.44 to $13.92 per square foot, while asphalt shingles average around $6.61. So the low end of metal sits near shingle pricing, while the top of the range is roughly double the asphalt average. Panel type, gauge, roof shape and trim work drive where you land.

|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingles, 1,000 sq ft roof, with tear-off and underlayment | $4,625–$9,250 (about $6.61 per sq ft) | ContractorPlus, Tulsa-area estimator (2026) |

How the Job Unfolds
- Request and inspection. Call (918) 555-0147 or fill in the form. A registered roofer measures the roof, checks the deck from the attic where possible and talks through panel choices.
- Side-by-side pricing. Ask for metal and shingle figures on the same visit. Seeing both in writing makes the trade-off much clearer.
- Color and profile. You pick the panel style, gauge and color. If you live in a neighborhood with an HOA, check its rules before you sign.
- Permits. Your roofer can tell you whether the city needs a permit for a metal tear-off; who to call is listed on our Oklahoma roofing rules page.
- Out with the old. The old roof comes off, the deck gets any repairs it needs, underlayment goes down, and the panels and trim follow.
- Final review. Walk the job with your roofer, collect the panel and labor warranty papers, and file them with your home records.
What You Can Expect
- A state-registered roofer. Every roofing contractor in Oklahoma must renew a Construction Industries Board registration each year. Learn how to check it on the Oklahoma roofing rules page.
- Straight answers on hail. Metal generally holds up well against leaks from hail, but large stones can leave dents. Some policies treat dents that don't cause leaks as cosmetic, so read yours.
- Fair pricing, legal terms. Oklahoma's HB 1940 (2022) forbids roofers from promising you won't owe your insurance deductible, on metal jobs or any other.
- Both options on paper. You get the honest comparison, even if it points you back to shingles.
Questions Homeowners Ask
Is metal better than shingles in hail country?
It depends on what you value. Metal tends to resist hail punctures and leaks, yet it can dent, and dents show. Impact-rated shingles are another route at a lower price. With spring hail a regular visitor here, ask your roofer to explain how each option has fared on homes they have worked on.
Is a metal roof louder in the rain?
Installed over a solid deck with underlayment and an insulated attic, most metal roofs sound much like any other roof from inside the house. The loud metal you may remember from a barn or shed usually has no deck underneath.
Does metal keep a house cooler?
Lighter colors and coatings reflect more sunlight, which can help in summer. How much it helps depends on attic ventilation and insulation as well. Your roofer can explain which finishes are designed to reflect heat.
Can metal go right over my old shingles?
Some systems allow it, but tearing off first lets the roofer inspect and repair the deck. On an older roof, that look underneath is often worth the extra cost. Ask what the panel maker allows and what your roofer recommends.
