NEW METAL ROOF!!

[shaeff]

That looks great! We had a standing seam metal roof installed when had the house built. Same setup as you, they formed it on site. We went with 5/8 Advantec decking and a 7/12 pitch on the house, and used black metal. It's STILL cooler than my brother's shingled roof and doesn't retain the heat nearly as long as shingles do.

Sometimes I think we should have gone with a light color, but black looks awesome with the dark blue color of our house.

Edit: I'm in the Northeast, as rhunt stated, yep- snow comes right off. No gutters on our house yet, but we will eventually have a big front porch and put the two-bar style snow fence on the roof to prevent avalanches. We use the side entrance so it's not a concern with snow shedding.

That's the way to do it, otherwise you go up every few years to tighten the screws down.
Plus they look a whole lot better.

You now have the perfect roof to collect rainwater!

They finished my new roof Monday and it looks great!
Here it is legal to put metal over old roof/shingles if roof is solid. (gets inspected before starting and after finished)
They put it on over Rhino Roof synthetic underlay.
They cut a vent in both ridges and my house is cooler already!
My roofer makes his own panels (Roll former) and had to get state approval/Certs. on his machine.
He fastens roof in the ribs and has engineers approval to do this. Said it helps prevent leaks.
Came out to $260.00 a square.

Looks great and priced right! Can’t be beat!

My roofer forms all the panels and trim in his shop and transports to job sites.
He even wholesales to regional rural retail outlets like hardware stores special order.
Great business model and he is doing great!
