I am going to a metal roof. The house is a ranch and the roof equates to 6 flat panels. The 2 'wings' are a 3-12 pitch and the center is a 4-12, all have ridge vents.
I am considering doing this myself and have some (limited) roofing experience.
Questions;
I have read that ridge vents should not be on a 3-12 roof. This is an older home and while it has not been directly hit by a hurricane, it has come close and seen some high winds along with tons of rain and I see no signs of water entry anywhere. Input?
There is a local roofing contractor here who measures and orders his metal roofing from a company in Tennessee. It comes numbered and pre-cut. I have searched the web and can't find them. Any ideas on who this is?
Grumpy, want a paid vacation to the east coast of Florida?
