If you’re exploring long-lasting roofing options that can handle Wyoming’s extreme weather, standing seam metal roofing might be at the top of your list. It’s modern, durable, and increasingly popular among both homeowners and commercial property owners in Cheyenne, Laramie, Casper, and beyond. But how much does it actually cost?

In this guide, Pete’s Builders breaks down everything you need to know about standing seam metal roofing costs in Wyoming, including materials, labor, installation tools, and contractor tips.


🏠 What Is Standing Seam Metal Roofing?

Standing seam roofing features vertically running panels with raised seams (or ribs) that interlock above the surface. Unlike exposed fastener systems, standing seam roofs have concealed fasteners, making them more watertight, sleek in appearance, and lower maintenance.

🔑 Key Features:

  • Snap-lock and mechanical seam options

  • Available in steel, aluminum, or galvalume

  • Often used in residential, commercial, and modern farmhouse-style homes

  • Compatible with solar panels and snow retention systems


💵 What’s the Average Cost of Standing Seam Metal Roofing in Wyoming?

In Wyoming, the cost of standing seam metal roofing can vary based on your location, roof size, and installer experience. Here’s a general breakdown:

📊 Average Pricing:

Type Cost per Sq. Ft. Total Roof (1,500 sq. ft.)
Material Only $4 – $9 $6,000 – $13,500
Installation (Labor) $5 – $8 $7,500 – $12,000
Total Installed $9 – $16 $13,500 – $25,000

Note: Prices may increase in remote Wyoming towns due to delivery and crew travel fees.

🛠️ Pro Tip from Pete’s Builders: Always ask if your quote includes underlayment, ridge caps, and waste allowance (10–15% extra material).


🧱 Factors That Affect Cost

1. Panel Type & Material

  • 16-inch panels are the most common.

  • Steel is the most popular; aluminum costs slightly more but resists rust better in snowy regions.

  • Premium finishes like Kynar/PVDF coatings increase cost but extend lifespan.

2. Gauge Thickness

  • Standard: 24-gauge steel (thicker and stronger)

  • Budget: 26-gauge steel (thinner, cheaper)

3. Roof Complexity

  • Steep slopes, valleys, dormers, or skylights add to labor costs.

  • Basic gable roofs are the most cost-efficient to install.

4. Removal of Old Roofing

  • Tear-off adds $1.50 – $3.00/sq. ft. if needed.


⚙️ What Tools Are Needed to Install Standing Seam Metal Roofing?

  • Standing seam roofing machine or hand seamer

  • Snap-lock toolset

  • Metal shears

  • Underlayment roller

  • Safety harness and roof jacks

🔧 While DIY is possible for experienced contractors, most homeowners in Wyoming trust professionals like Pete’s Builders to ensure warranty-backed installation.
