I got an estimate on a metal roof today for $900 per sq.its a straight ranch 6/12
tear off old shingles and reroof with standing seem in va. does this sound a little high
i dont know how much of that is material have any of you used this stuff with the baked on color i see it alot on commercial buildings.
anyway i know that is way over the h/o’s budget so we will go with 30 yr archies
thanks for any input

You can probably figure between $225-275 for the metal and flashings, depending on the gauge and the details you need. I ordered 15 square of 24 gauge standing seam with a lot of flashings recently for about $260 per. I would figure approximately the same amount for installation. Add for the tearoff and disposal on your job, and, any deck repair needed? $700 sounds closer.
thanks for the info.700 is better but still out of range
happy 4th
Where in Va? Major difference.
Here in Mr. Jefferson-land, wouldn't surprise me at all. Not that there aren't less expensive options for traditional standing seam.
Baked on paint sometimes doesn't work so well, which is not a blanket condemnation. Here's a BT Kentucky example.

FYI - that was a polyester coating that failed. The polyester is cheaper than Kynar.

There are metal roofs all over the place here. They are mostly Kynar paint, as far as I know, and I have not seen one that looks like that. They get a little worn looking after many, many years.
Thanks. I've seen several failures here too, never bothered to find out what they were. Still strike me as pretty ugly compared to traditional standing seam.
Very few in comparison with the number of painted traditional roofs with peeling paint. But that ain't the fault of the roofing.PAHS Designer/Builder- Bury it!

See? Now, by comparison, what you've been experiencing lately is a piece of cake. Be happy.
LMAO
Finished pic? Here's the part I particularly admired. Oh, and another (not quite finished) pic to remember when things don't look so good.
Still laughing....PAHS Designer/Builder- Bury it!
LMAO. Yeah, we have come a LONG way since that was taken.
Hell, I am actually finish painting TRIM for the addition, siding real soon to follow.
It's 92* right now out there..waiting for the paint to dry a bit more, then start on the shady side.
We have been doing guttering pretty solidly for the last 3-4 weeks, and will be for the next 3-4...then back to slate and standing seam.
When I get my fascia up, I am calling a continuous gutter shop and have THEM hang it on my house..hows that for irony?

Makes sense to me, that it would make sense to you. Remember what Mike Smith opines about gutters in general. Also makes sense. They look like added maintenance to me. But so does painted trim.
That's what makes it an interesting world. Everybody wants something different. Good thing, otherwise they'd all want your wife. That'd be a mess.
Teach you to post photos... LOL Have we digressed enough yet?PAHS Designer/Builder- Bury it!
Digressed indeed.
Back to the shop and try a different fan, you know it is hot when ya hover above the tablesaw blade running just for the breeze it kicks up.

Speaking of optional maintenance...
So I spent my afternoon reestablishing my driveway drainages. Only 4 of them had failed.

Well, it was that way. The back gets to be rolled hay. I mowed short last time so with no rain, I am good for another week.

Not quite 3/4 But I got to push it.

Ahhh. The trim mower is self propelled, and usually the wifes job. I get riding mower and weedwhacker duty.

Mines self propelled but my wife won't go near it. I actualy have a nice John Deere riding mower that crapped on me. I need to sit down with it on night and make it work. I don't really mind push mowing that's why I haven't been in a big hurry. That is until it go tso hot. Now I just want to get it done and over with.
Rock the Tipi!
I am seriously thinking of subbing it out..give em 50 bucks and fuggetaboudit.

I tried that once. But It's like buying bottled water. The stuff is flowing out of my sink for pennies a gallon. It's pretty stupid to pay a dollar for a sixteen ounce bottle. I just can't do it.
A big lot like yours I might. Especially if it's only fifty bucks.
Rock the Tipi!
I have a buddy with alot of land to mow. He places a pivot post in parts of his yards, ties a rope to a self propelled mower and the post. He clamps the handle on the mowers, and the mowers follow the rope untill they get to the post. He can have a few unmanned mowers out mowing while he is working on something else.
LOL..That'd be fun. I have front caster wheels on mine ( Cub CAdet) I'd better be sure to lock them, other wize it'd cut the rope and go a wandering into the pond with my luck.

Whatcha talkin about Willis.I drank almost a gallon of beer today.
I haven't had a beer in probably 3 months. I'm actualy starting to like it.

I just priced that out about a month, maybe a little more, ago, in Nebraska. The baked finish stuff was right about a grand a square. Copper was 1700. Asphalt was 85. Guess which the client went with.
