Having a new residential metal roof installed is exciting but can also be stressful if you are not prepared. We understand that there’s so much to think about when installing a new roof, from choosing your metal panel and color to hiring a contractor, that the logistics of the actual installation itself may fall through the cracks. However, if you prepare metal roof installation, it will make the process much better for both you and your contractor.
