There is a great variety of styles and prices. If you get the stuff that is formed to look like wood shakes or slate tiles, it can be hundreds of dollars per square. The ribbed "pole barn" type is cheapest at about $50 per square. Standing seam style is about $125 per square. References :
Metal panels are not sold by the square foot. They are sold by the running foot (lineal footage). Right now residential master rib is $2.20 per foot…….the panels are 3′ wide. A ten foot panel would cost $22.00, which covers 30 square feet.
Metal roofing is currently a good competitive alternative to petroleum based shingles. References : 30+ year carpenter/roofer
Hi ya Joyce (I like that name)! You know, unfortunately, rough guesses are not the way to go here on this Yah forum. In fact, this is especially true, Joyce, because the cost of material and labor greatly varies by location, so asking here on Yah is not a good idea: A person who posts on here from NY will give a vastly different figure than what it would cost in CA or whever you are. So, your best action to take is to get free, no-obligation estimates from local roofing contractors in your area; the way I figure it, if you are just remotely thinking of installing metal roofs, you owe it to yourself to find out the real going rate in your area.
Out of convenience, you should become familiar with handyman sites (you could learn a lot from them). A good handyman site I use often, which has a section devoted to roofing how-to articles, also has a handy text-link ad towards the middle of the following linked page that offers up to four (4) Free estimates from local roofing contractors who can provide you more information about the types of metal roof systems available (when you click on the link below, you’ll be taken to a handyman page where you’ll just scroll down a bit to arrive at the text-link, "Find Local Roofing Services…Get Up to 4 Quotes Now…Free"):
Since metal roofing is becoming more and more
popular, it is important to know exactly how much a new metal roof will cost. Unlike asphalt roofing, which claims the lowest cost and the smallest price range, the cost of metal roofing can vary greatly, depending upon the type of material used.
On the lower end of the scale, a home owner can expect to spend anywhere from $1.20 to $1.50 per square foot for a decent metal roof, which of course does not include removal and disposal of old roofing material, but covers the average cost of material and installation.
For mid-grade, coated metal roofing, one might expect to pay up to $4.00 per square foot, with copper tipping the scales at over $6.50 per square foot. Of course, prices fluctuate according to the market price of the various metals used, as well as their availability for metal roofing manufacturing.
It is for this reason that home owners should lock in the price of their metal roof before installation begins to ensure no fluctuations in material cost throughout the life of the project. References : http://www.sheldorado.com
Their is several different gauges that influence cost.

Get your free estimates. That way you’ll get information that is relevant to your local area, including relevant costs. The rule of thumb is to get at least three estimates from which to later on choose. Good luck with your roofing project!
