❓How to Install Standing Seam Metal Roof?

💬

It can be installed in two different ways: Symmetrical - look the same on both sides of the panel legs. This approach does not require left to right or right to left installation - installers can start at any point on the roof or could be multiple which is a faster, simpler, and more efficient installation process. Non-symmetrical is different, where panels are required to be always installed in a progressive fashion. While not a huge differentiator during initial construction, should the roof ever require modification for new HVAC venting, etc., or repairs, non-symmetrical systems require that panels be removed - this means the original panels cannot be reused so new material must be purchased to complete the remediation.

❓Stand Seam Metal Cost

💬

While the initial cost of these panels can be higher than traditional asphalt shingles, they are far more durable and require less maintenance over time. Note that final price of a standing seam metal roof depends on many factors, such as the size of the roof and the specific panels you choose. Labor costs are also a major factor to consider.
