Tonawanda is a city of older homes where the roof takes a beating every winter. From the frame doubles and workers' cottages near the canal to the post-war ranches off Niagara Street, most of these roofs were built for a climate that has only gotten harsher, with lake-effect snow and freeze-thaw cycles that find every weak seam.
We are Buffalo Metal Roofing, and since 2009 we have been installing, repairing, and replacing metal roofs across Tonawanda and the surrounding Buffalo area. Homeowners in 14150 call us because we understand the specific problems here: ice dams at the eaves, meltwater working into aging shingles during the spring thaw, and wind off the Niagara River that can lift a poorly fastened panel. We are a Metal Roofing Alliance member and fully insured, and we treat every Tonawanda property like it is in our own neighborhood.
Metal Roofing in Tonawanda (14150)
Tonawanda sits at the junction of the Niagara River and Tonawanda Creek, and that location means something for your roof. The ground here is a mix of older clay soils and fill near the water, so drainage away from the foundation matters as much as what happens on top of the house. Many properties in the older sections have narrow side yards and detached garages close to the property line, which makes staging materials and accessing the roof a careful operation. We plan for that before we show up. The housing stock ranges from late 1800s Victorians near the canal to 1920s brick homes and mid-century capes, and each one has its own quirks: skip sheathing on the oldest roofs, shallow roof pitches on porches, and chimneys that need proper flashing details. We have seen how ice dams form on the north-facing slopes along streets like Delaware and Kohler, and we know that a metal roof over shingles, done right, can solve that for good. Our team has been working on Tonawanda roofs since 2009, and we bring that experience to every estimate.

How a Job Works in Tonawanda
Step 1: You call us at (716) 261-3070 or request a free estimate online. We schedule a time to walk your property, inspect the roof from the ground and on top, and talk through what you are seeing. We check the attic if accessible, look for signs of ice damming, and measure the roof so the estimate is accurate. You get a written proposal with options, not a high-pressure sales pitch.
Step 2: Once you approve, we handle the permit paperwork with the City of Tonawanda and coordinate any inspections. On the scheduled day, our crew arrives with materials and protects your landscaping and driveway. On tighter lots, we use a conveyor or careful staging to avoid damage. If your home is in a historic district or has HOA rules, we help you choose a panel profile and color that will pass review. We keep you informed at every stage, and we do not leave your roof open to the weather overnight.
Step 3: When the work is done, we clean up thoroughly. We magnet-sweep the yard for nails, haul away old materials, and walk the finished roof with you. We do not consider the job complete until you are satisfied and understand how to care for your new metal roof.
Pricing for metal roofing in Tonawanda depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the condition of the existing shingles, access around the house, and the material you choose. As a ballpark, metal roof installation starts at $8 per square foot, standing seam at $10, and metal roof replacement at $9. If you are retrofitting over existing shingles, that starts at $7 per square foot, though local code limits how many layers you can cover. Repairs start at $450, and screw replacement or re-fastening starts at $750. We also offer metal roof coating from $2.50 per square foot, which can extend the life of an older metal roof. For a precise number, call us at (716) 261-3070 for a free estimate. We will give you a clear, written price with no surprises.
