Affordable Metal Roofing Solutions in Putnam County, FL

How to save money on your new metal roofing

Plan with your professional metal roofing installation company

Whether you already have your custom metal roofing panels or are still looking for options, including your contractor from the beginning of the project is always a great idea.

They can provide professional advice on metal types, installation methods, coatings, and finishes and help you develop a comprehensive project schedule to manage your roof installation with minimal stress.

If you have already decided on a metal roofing material, hiring a contractor beforehand can help you take advantage of discounts and flash sales without wasting time.

Ask about the surplus inventory.

It’s not rare that a manufacturer sometimes produces more material than what they sell in a given period. When that happens, suppliers are more willing to discount and lower their prices to sell the surplus as quickly as possible. This can be a great way to get durable metal roofing solutions for lower prices.

Feel free to contact your local suppliers directly or discuss this with your roofing company to expand your business’s reach. Your roofing company's years of experience in the industry will likely result in partnerships and connections with suppliers and can help you find the most affordable metal roofing options.

Order all the materials at the same time

All of your roof flashing needs can be made of metal, meaning you can order enough metal roofing material to make the roof itself and the flashings without placing a later order for roofing flashings.

Whether you’ve chosen stainless steel, aluminum, or zinc, ordering your flashings simultaneously as the roof material can save you time and money.

Consider a metal re-roofing

When roof damage is more aesthetical than structural, re-roofing with metal panels can be less costly than getting a new professional metal roofing installation. Metal is one of the most lightweight materials and can be placed over an existing shingle roof without significant inconveniences. However, not all roofs qualify for a re-roofing.

Due to regulatory and structural concerns, only a roof with up to one row of shingles can be re-roofed in Florida. Otherwise, you would need to replace the roof with shingles or upgrade it with custom metal roofing panels.

The building design allows for a specific weight on the roof structure, called the ‘dead load.’ Most dead load limits range from 10 to 20 pounds depending on your area, roof design and pitch, and the builder's measurements. Although metal roofing is not that heavy, surpassing your roof’s dead load allowance can lead to a roof collapse, compromising your safety and property integrity.

Though re-roofing can be one of the most affordable metal roofing options, it is always best to consult a professional roofing company to inspect your roof, ensure the structure will resist the added weight, and comply with local building regulations.
