Metal roof installation in Hollywood, FL typically runs about $7 to $16 per square foot installed, or roughly $5,000 to $17,000 for a standard single-family home, based on published national estimates.

- Published estimates put a full metal roof at roughly $5,000 to $17,000, or about $7 to $16 per square foot installed.
- Panel type drives the spread: exposed-fastener metal is the budget end, standing seam is the premium end.
- Hollywood is in Broward County's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so product approval, engineering and permitting are part of the real cost.
- Older Hollywood roof decks often need re-nailing and new underlayment, which pushes a job toward the upper half of the range.
- Green Contractors FL offers 100% financing with no money down, including PACE financing, and a free in-home consultation.
What published cost data says about metal roofs
A metal roof on a typical single-family home costs about $5,000 to $17,000 installed, with most projects landing somewhere in the middle rather than at either extreme (Angi). Contractors usually price the work per square foot of roof area, not per square foot of living space, which is why two homes with the same floor plan can quote differently (HomeAdvisor).
Within that published range, the panel system you choose is the single biggest lever:
- Exposed-fastener panels (corrugated or ribbed steel): the low end of the per-square-foot range, screwed through the face of the panel.
- Standing seam: concealed fasteners and raised seams, generally the top of the published range and the most common choice for a finished residential look.
- Aluminum: carries a material premium over steel but resists salt-air corrosion, which matters close to the Intracoastal and the beach.
- Metal tile and stone-coated steel: priced to compete with tile profiles and typically well above basic steel panels.
Treat all of these as published typical estimates. They are a sanity check on the quotes you collect, not a price any contractor can commit to before measuring your roof.
What moves a Hollywood roof within that range
Local conditions are what decide whether your home lands near the bottom or the top of the published spread. The usual drivers on a Hollywood job are:
- Roof size, pitch and complexity: valleys, dormers, hips and multiple roof planes all add labor and flashing.
- Tear-off and layers: removing and disposing of an existing roof, especially a heavy tile or multiple layers, is real cost before the first panel goes on.
- Deck condition: Hollywood has a lot of older housing stock, and current code work often means re-nailing the deck, replacing rotted plywood and installing a new secondary water barrier.
- Coastal exposure: homes near salt air are better served by aluminum or a quality coated steel, which costs more than the cheapest panel on the shelf.
- Access and height: two-story homes, tight side yards and limited staging space slow crews down.
- Detail work: skylights, chimneys, solar tubes, vents and gutter transitions each need their own flashing.
Metal versus shingle: what the extra money buys
Metal almost always costs more upfront than asphalt shingle. The trade-off is service life: a well-installed metal roof is generally expected to last decades longer than a shingle roof, which is why many South Florida homeowners treat it as a one-time roof rather than a repeat expense.
If the budget is not there for metal this year, it is worth pricing the alternatives side by side before you commit, and our flat roof installation cost in Hollywood, FL page covers the flat-roof numbers. Green Contractors FL installs shingle, flat and metal roof installation systems, so a single walkthrough can give you numbers for more than one option.
Permitting, engineering and the Broward inspection
Hollywood sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which is the strictest wind-design region in the state. Every component has to carry a Florida product approval or Notice of Acceptance for that zone, the job has to be permitted, and it has to pass inspection.
That paperwork is part of the price of a legitimate roof, and it is a step a cash-only handyman quote quietly skips. Green Contractors FL is a licensed and insured general contractor (CGC1535102) and handles the permitting, engineering and the final county inspection as part of the project.
A properly permitted and inspected new roof also gives you current documentation for a wind mitigation inspection, which may qualify your home for insurance credits. Ask your carrier what your specific policy allows.
Pairing a roof with your window and door plan
Roof, windows and doors are one connected envelope. If storm protection is the reason you are re-roofing, it is worth pricing both at once, and our impact windows and doors installation in Hollywood page covers that side of the project.
