It is a good idea to have a experienced metal roofing contractor install your roofing. It is very disappointing to me to see how many contractors that don't care about quality. They will hire guy's with little to no experience pay them peace rate which means by they get paid by how fast they are installing. I am seeing a lot of jobs with really bad workmanship. Even as a small business that buys material direct it is hard to complete with these type of contractors that cut so many corners. A good example is trim drip edge, gable and ridge cap installation. It can take year's to train a guy on how to install these peaces and it takes a lot of skill and time to install each piece so it look nice. How can this be achieved by a unskilled installers that is paid by how fast they go ? Answer is it just can't. Over the year's I have meet many homeowners that think they can just throw a metal roof on there selves and save some money bad idea. In fact I have been asked on several occasions by other roofing contractors to come out and train them and there employees on how to install metal roofing properly. To me that is ridicules of them to think I can just come out in a day and show them how it is just not possible. It can take several years just to show a guy how to cut without having the product looking butchered and a lot of times guy's just never figure it out. I can go on and on about installation and how it is important to have a experienced installers not only to install nice looking trim but also a nice looking roof. Here is a few things a roofing contractor do to be low bid. Buy inferior products instead of giving you a 45 year product they buy a 10 year and you can't tell the difference until it is to late. Trim is also sometimes left out and not installed at all. Trim is a big deal not only the time to install it but also the cost of it can be about 30-40 percent of the material cost. Here at metal worx roofing I only install high end product that will look great for many years to come. Installation is done by me. In 1994 when metal roofing was just starting to become more popular my dad started installation of metal roofing and aventually dumped his shingle line all together now in 2015 over 30 year's later we have become some of the best installers not just in are region but in the world.
