Before you let anybody on the roof
The things worth pinning down on a metal roofing job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- Standing seam or exposed fastener, and why
- How the panels are allowed to expand and contract
- Panel gauge and the coating warranty
- Whether the crew installs metal regularly or occasionally
- How valleys, ridges and penetrations are detailed
Ask to see a standing-seam job they finished more than three years ago. The edges and the valleys will tell you everything.
Metal expands and contracts more than any other covering. Panels have to be allowed to move, and cheap installs pin them so they cannot.
A light-coloured metal roof reflects a serious amount of heat, which shows up on a summer power bill in hot climates.
Locally
The second problem is ember intrusion through vents and open eaves. Most houses lost to wildfire are lost to embers arriving ahead of the fire, not to the fire itself.
About metal roofing here
What does a new roof cost in Montclair?
Most quotes here for a standard asphalt replacement come in around $13,000 to $27,500. That assumes one layer to remove and sound decking. Every quote you get should say in writing what happens if the decking is not sound.
How quickly will someone call?
Usually within the hour during working hours. If you marked the job as an emergency it goes to the front of the queue and is normally picked up faster than that.
What if the decking is rotten underneath?
Expect a few sheets on most older roofs. Get the per-sheet rate in the contract. Open-ended decking charges are where a fixed price stops being fixed.
How long should a roof last here?
Rated life and real life are different numbers. Here, ordinary rated life is a fair guide, provided the attic breathes. Ventilation and the quality of the installation move that more than the brand does.
