Metal Roofs in Hail Country
Residential metal roofs come in two broad styles. Standing-seam panels run from ridge to eave with raised seams that lock together, and the fasteners sit hidden underneath. Exposed-fastener panels are screwed through the face, leaving screw heads on the surface. Either way, the old roof normally comes off first so the deck can be checked.
Hail is part of the local picture. On February 28, 2011, the National Weather Service logged 1.00-inch hail in the Kennesaw area near I-575 and Bells Ferry Road. Some owners pick metal with storms in mind, while others worry about dents. Ask your roofer to show you the impact rating of the panels they plan to use.
The Usual Scenarios
What Moves the Price
Panel style, metal gauge, finish, roof shape and the number of valleys, chimneys and skylights to flash around all push the total up or down. These are the published figures this site uses:
| Cost row | Figure | Source (year) |
|---|---|---|
| Atlanta re-roof, average | about $7,777 (typical $5,211–$10,355) | Angi, 2026 |
| Atlanta re-roof, per sq ft | $4–$11 | Angi, 2026 |
| Georgia 2,000 sq ft architectural roof | about $12,000 | Fixr, 2025 |
| Georgia architectural shingles, per sq ft | $4–$10 | Fixr, 2025 |
| Georgia standing-seam steel, per sq ft | about $11.50 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
Our cost calculator uses $8.00 to $14.50 per square foot of roof surface for metal, from basic panels up to standing seam with tear-off. The cost guide explains how each row is built.
Inspection, Estimate, Install
- Send a request. Use the form or call (770) 555-0186. We pass it to one independent local roofer.

Kennesaw's building rules cover work that repairs or alters a structure, and a switch to metal usually counts.

Questions Homeowners Ask
Is metal worth the extra cost over shingles in Kennesaw?
The answer turns on how many years you expect to live there and what you need the roof to do. Compare the rows above: standing-seam steel runs about $11.50 per square foot (RoofObservations, 2026), against $4 to $10 for architectural shingles (Fixr, 2025). Getting both priced in writing from the same roofer makes the trade-off easier to judge.
Will hail dent a metal roof?
Large hail can dent some panels, and dents may be cosmetic or may affect the finish. Ask your roofer which impact rating the panels carry and what the manufacturer warranty says about hail. If storm damage is already on your mind, our storm and hail damage page covers what to do next.
Who handles the permit for a metal roof in Kennesaw?
Your roofer should pull it. Inside city limits, the office is City of Kennesaw Building Services at (770) 429-4554. Many Kennesaw mailing addresses are in unincorporated Cobb County, where Cobb County Community Development at (770) 528-1000 handles permits instead. A short call confirms which office covers your lot.
Do I pay for the referral?
No. The referral is free to you, and we never ask for a deposit. Roofers may pay us for it. You only pay for work you agree to in writing with the roofer, after reading the estimate and deciding it fits.
