    We are in the process of building a barn and just noticed the horrible look of the barn with all the waviness. We asked the owners of the company to come and look at it, and I was horrified when we were basically told there was nothing we can do. We are incorporating the barn into the outside living part of our home, and I am devastated. We can't move the barn or the house (septic and water and electrical already in)---and we now get to look at the side of a barn that looks like a million soft balls were thrown into the side of it.

    Sadly, I don't think the skill level, professionalism and attention to detail shown in this video is the norm. You see this all the time, someone who knows the right people or has the right amount of money can get excellent jobs like this done, but when the rest of us around the country want a job done, its rushed, still costs us ton of money and looks like crap: corners being cut the entire time. Seems the more rural you live, the choices are pretty slim to find contractors, much less a contractor or business who know what they are doing. My sister just sent me pics of her metal roof she had done and it looks awful. Jagged cuts, screws and nails visible everywhere, nothing is seamless and goes into the next piece, open pieces hanging all over the edge, no cohesiveness. By the way, what adhesive caulk are you using?

    In Ph, it's akin to plain GI sheet, the only difference is that galvalume is in rolled sheets. We only use this mostly on exterior walls or wooden doors as a protective material during wet seasons (but could be taken as permanent though😁). I think it's not suitable for roofing here...

    Wow this is an amazing install video and I admire the craftsmanship. Several questions. The bottom end of the panel? What does the install guide say about dog earing or filing the open area with sealant? The pipes. Wouldn’t sliding those metal covers over them create an ever so small area water could get in from?

The cottage is 3 years old and the metal roof has never been cleaned. Also, the snow guards are collecting tons of twigs, leaves, etc and is difficult to access. Any references, comments, suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!😊

    Good vid but I don't understand why the screw fastener is installer in the pan rather than the ridge? Water runs downhill, putting the fastener hole where the water gathers and runs seems counter-intuitive? Your thoughts?

    • @TheMetalRoofingChannel
      @TheMetalRoofingChannel 19 днів тому

      That is dependent on the manufacturer's recommendations and the panel that is being installed. Some panels require different screw placement. -Thad

    • @TheMetalRoofingChannel
      @TheMetalRoofingChannel 19 днів тому

      Metal shingle manufacturers provide foam inserts to place behind the metal to help support it in high traffic areas. For example, if there are second-story gutters that need to be accessed by walking on the roof, foam inserts can be installed in the area where the gutters are located. -Thad
