Choose a system for the property
Metal roofing comes in different profiles and attachment systems. Roof geometry, existing conditions, coastal exposure, and the proposed products help determine what is appropriate. Ask for the exact panel, finish, and installation scope in writing.
Look closely at edges and transitions
Roof penetrations, valleys, wall transitions, and eaves are part of the system. Discuss how the proposed scope addresses these details and how existing corrosion or damage will be handled.
Know what a repair can accomplish
Share where water appears, what previous repairs were attempted, and any records identifying the current roof. The condition of the panels and surrounding assembly affects whether a targeted repair or replacement is worth discussing.
