Anyway, I'm told that with the garage metal roofing, the roofing expands
and contracts as it heats and cools. The screws loosen in the wood
and/or elongate the holes thru the metal roofing as the roof works back
and forth. Leaks develop, etc. Home metal roofing is installed in a
different way.
I've heard of no complaints about their metal roofing. Can anybody tell
me if the above problem is actually a problem? One may be able to
tolerate minor leaks in a garage or barn but not a house. The source of
the above information is a very good carpenter/builder, knows his stuff,
and keeps current with building codes.
Comparing flying a kite with jet air travel. Residential roofing is done
much different than barns. My only objection to metal is the cost. I was
quoted about 3X a good shingle room. That is probably changing also.
