Metal Roof Repair, Leaks & Screw Replacement in Chico
Metal roofs are durable, but they are not maintenance-free, and most leaks we see start with a small failure that was ignored. On 15 to 30 year old exposed-fastener roofs, the number one cause is fasteners backing out as the EPDM sealing washers dry, shrink, and crack. Once that seal is gone, water finds the hole. Seam separation from thermal movement, failed pipe boots, and flashing gaps at chimneys, skylights, and valleys are the next most common entry points. Wind-lifted panels after a storm and punctures from fallen limbs are also frequent, especially on homes surrounded by valley oaks, sycamores, and orchard trees.
Ignoring a small leak lets water track along purlins and decking far from the entry point, which can rot sheathing, damage insulation, and turn a simple repair into a much larger project. The honest call between repair and replacement depends on the age and condition of the panels, the deck, and the fasteners. In many cases, a full screw replacement and re-fastening restores a watertight roof for a fraction of replacement cost, and we will tell you plainly when that is the right choice.
If you have an active leak, separated seam, or storm damage, call (530) 924-0344 to schedule an inspection. Our metal roof leak repair team finds the actual source, not just the stain on your ceiling, and explains your options without pressure. We also handle storm and wind damage repair and full metal roof inspections to catch small issues before they spread.
Metal Roofing Systems We Install in Chico
We install the full range of metal roofing systems, and the right one depends on your home, your budget, and how much maintenance you want over the life of the roof. Standing seam metal roofing uses concealed clips and hidden fasteners for a clean, premium profile with no exposed screws to service. Corrugated and ribbed panel roofing is the economical workhorse for cabins, barns, workshops, and agricultural buildings. We also install metal shingles, stone-coated steel, and copper and specialty metal for accents and distinctive homes.
Here is the honest comparison: standing seam costs more upfront and has no exposed fasteners to maintain, while screw-down systems cost less and need their fasteners and sealing washers serviced over the years. When the deck is sound, metal roof over shingles (retrofit) can be a legitimate way to save on tear-off and disposal; when the deck is not sound, a full tear-off is the right call. We will walk you through both and recommend what actually fits your roof.
How Much Does a Metal Roof Cost in Chico?
Metal roof projects are typically quoted per square foot for installations, while repairs are often priced as flat-rate jobs. The final number depends on the panel system and metal gauge, roof pitch and complexity, whether we tear off or recover, the condition of the decking, and access to the roof. Because every roof and site is different, we frame all figures as typical ranges, and final pricing depends on the roof and site conditions. Some carriers may offer premium discounts for metal or impact-rated roofs, but that is between you and your insurer.

Storm Damage, Insurance Claims & Permits in Chico
If a storm has damaged your roof, we inspect the damage and provide written documentation with photos that you may submit to your own insurer. We are not an insurance adjuster or agent, coverage decisions rest with your carrier, and we make no promise that a claim will be approved. We document what we find, and you decide how to proceed with your insurer.
On permits, this is informational only: in most jurisdictions a permit is commonly required for a full replacement or re-roof, but requirements vary by city, and thresholds, fees, and inspection requirements differ. Historic district or HOA design review can also affect panel profile and color choices. Requirements vary, so always verify with the Chico building or planning department before starting your project. For help understanding the process or to schedule an inspection, contact our team.
