I need to get about 25 sheets (panels) of metal roofing. I have a garage about 30' by 25' that needs roof replaced...
I guess my questions are...
Standard Corrugated 12' X 36" @ Home Depot 45 bucks a sheet. I've looked elsewhere a few places and the price is almost identical for 26 gauge.
Is this about the best price I'm going to find on the island? Should I look elsewhere for a better price?
What about maxi rib or J Rib?
I like the idea of clips. I like the clean look and not having to worry about leaking screw holes. Has anyone (do it yourselfer)tried installing a clip style roof? I hear that clips and RIB type design it's a tighter and stronger fit IE the wind will have a heard time ripping it up. How much harder is it to install a clip vs screwing it down?
I'm about to buy panels from home depot but thought it would be best to ask these questions first.
Thanks!!!!
