- Material type and gauge : Standing seam, corrugated panels, stone-coated steel, and copper vary significantly in price per square foot due to material costs and specialized installation requirements.
- Roof accessibility and height : Steep pitches, multi-story homes, and limited access may require additional safety equipment and labor, increasing the overall project cost.
