do it yourself metal roofing?

I am preparing to be the general contractor for the construction of my own home. Of course I am trying to do as much of the project myself as is possible. I have surfed the net and can't find any metal roof companies catering to the do it yourselfer. Can anyone comment on owner installed metal roofs and perhaps what companies I should be looking to work with?

thanks

I think you will be looking for along time. Most metal roofs must be installed by a licensed contractor. In fact most metal roofs must be purchased by licensed contractors. The reason is the warranty. They must be put on in a certain way. This is not a diy project. I guess you know the damage one leak could do to your new home. This is not an area to cut expenses on.

Thumbs up Installing a metal roof diy

If you have an 84 lumber company you should check them out for metal roofing for the DIY person. They carry a metal roof like the old standing ridge. Also other types of metal roof. Good luck.
