Common residential metal systems
Standing seam and exposed-fastener systems have different details, appearance, maintenance considerations, and costs. Ask exactly which system is being proposed.
Questions for a metal-roof proposal
- Panel profile and metal thickness or gauge where relevant
- Paint or protective coating system
- Fastening method
- Underlayment and ventilation
- Trim, valleys, transitions, and penetrations
- Warranty coverage for material and workmanship
Roof geometry affects complexity
Dormers, valleys, chimneys, skylights, and numerous penetrations can add considerable detailing to a metal roof installation.
Compare total installed systems
A metal roof estimate should be evaluated as a complete installed system, not simply by the cost of the metal panels.
