On average, aluminum roof cost is $7 – $15 per square foot for materials and labor. There are two types of aluminum roofing, interlocking aluminum shingles and standing seam panels. The panels are commonly used on commercial buildings, although many homeowners like the look for their home as well. Aluminum roofs are expensive (similar to any metal roof), even though the roof is only made of fairly thin aluminum sheets. This roof material is a cheaper alternative to copper or lead roofing, although considerably more expensive than the commonly used asphalt shingle roofing.
