OT Metal replacement roofing?
OK, I need to re-roof my home. North Texas, DFW area.
1500 sq ft, simple roof two planes, no dormers etc. There is an add-on that is basically a raised square, roof of that is a single plane. There are 5 skylights, 2-ft and 5-ft approx. Single layer of asphalt shingles, metal to be applied over that, no removal. Pitch is 4/12, very shallow. So I went to Mueller and got a price on materials. $4000 for R-panel. Installation? "Should be around $2000" By comparison, last I checked on asphalt was about $2900 total. So now I'm ready to place the order., and the Mueller people say "$2000 is really low!" I talk to another roofer. He says "$12,000" At this point the whole thing is looking like a racket to me. This is a simple job - simple enough that we're considering doing it ourselves. So what do I need to do to get a cost-effective metal roof? |
