Store Cover
The cost of a tin roof for a 100-square-foot store cover is around $800, depending on size. If you're only roofing a small, 30-square-foot store, you'll pay as little as $150 to $360. Homeowners typically use these simple pitched or slanted covers on open-sided firewood storage or to cover a feed store, fuel store, or similar.
Shed
To roof a 10-by-12-foot shed, expect to pay an average of $1,000. Sheds need flashing and, if you want to collect rainwater, you'll need a rain barrel and guttering, too. Depending on how you use the shed, you may also want insulation, reflective paint, and ventilation, increasing the final cost.
Porch
A 16-by-20-foot tin porch roof typically costs $2,000, installed. Tin porch roofs are a great choice if your home already has a tin roof, helping you achieve a cohesive look. This type of roof is also popular for porches because it's comparatively quick and easy to install and, if the homeowner has the right skills and tools, it's a suitable DIY job.
Mobile Home
A typical mobile home roof measures 1,024 square feet and costs an average of $8,700 to install. Tin is a popular roofing option for mobile homes because of its cost-efficiency, lightweight, and durability. A tin roof can protect a mobile home and help with heating and cooling efficiency without overburdening the structure with excessive weight.
Barn
An average 1,200-square-foot tin barn roof costs around $10,200, all in. Tin barn roofing is durable and strong, able to withstand winds of 140 miles per hour. And, like other metal roofs, it's cost- and energy-efficient, lightweight, low-maintenance, and easy to install.
House
It typically costs $12,700 to install a tin roof on a 1,500-square-foot house. The price varies from $7,500 to $18,000 for a house of this size, depending on what extras you need, such as insulation and flashing, and the roof's pitch.
An increasing number of homeowners are opting for tin roofs because they're cost-efficient, lightweight, more sustainable, and environmentally friendly than asphalt, have a lifespan of up to 70 years, and are a solid choice for saving on heating and cooling costs.
Cost of Installing a Tin Roof by Roof Type
There are two types of tin roofs. The traditional flat tin roof, which costs $5 to $9 per square foot to install, and the standing seam pitched roof, which costs $7 to $12 per square foot to install.
