Metal Roof

moose tracks · 06-20-2009, 07:53 AM

I would like to put a metal roof on my two car detached garage. Could anyone recommend a reliable roofer who installs metal roofs in the Meredith, Gilford, Tilton area?

Definately go with a "standing seam" as opposed to sheets.There are no screws showing and they last much better.I've had both and the sheets get rust stains and screws work loose after a few years.

Yankee Energy Systems from Laconia did a standing seam on my house about three years ago.
Fantastic!

Corrugated roofing looks almost identical to standing seam, but is quite a bit cheaper. I just had my roof replaced with it. Available in many colors and has an excellent warranty.

True, the fasteners aren't concealed like standing seam, but they are not very noticeable at all. They use a special nail with a rubber biscuit under the head.

Price it out and you will see.

Is the corrugated roofing the same as the sheets that SAMIAM mentioned?
