Red Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'm going to tear the roof off at my cabin this spring and install a new green metal roof Ii was wondering if any one knows fought how much each sheet. Cost? I know you can get them In different width and lengths I'm looking for sheets roughly 3'x14' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinsdale Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Typical 29 ga from lumber yard on order will be around $3 a lineal foot. Depending where you are sometimes you can find farm type suppliers running specials that could be less.....but I haven't looked around recent at whats about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtoons Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Standard 3 ft. wide panel was around $3 a ft. the last metal roof I did which was in Sept. It's not the panels that kill you. It's the accessories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyantler Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Bottom line is there is no cheap way to do a roof and do it correctly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Culvercreek hunt club Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Red. When I got the metal for my camp (we used it on the exterior walls and the roof) we got it from MCBI in Rome. They have a seconds pile, but it doesn't come with a warranty. When they set up to make a run the first sheets that come off in setting up the machines go into this pile. We couldn't find anything wrong with them. We had to play around a bit with their available colors and quantities but we got enough to do our walls in hunter green and the roof in white. We opted for a white roof because cooling for us is a bigger issue than heating. The cost was about half of what a new sheet was. Might be worth a call to them. They also bent the metal we wanted for the trim. The guys are right. the trim cost us more than the metal sheets did. We used the 3' wide profile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtoons Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 You want jaw dropping.....ask for a price on matching coil stock. Yikes! Oh trust me....I know. Material prices are ridiculous! My labor hasn't changed in 10 yrs. There's just no room to increase with the material costs going up every few months. Plus I have to try and stay competitive with all the losers doing work just for beer $$. Everything goes up except my paycheck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even think I to use this on my exterior walls that's definitely Italy a good idea and I think the green and what has to look pretty darn sweet. My place is in franklinville in the southerntier but ill give them a try maybe they deliver or can Recommend some one out my way I'm pretty pumped to get the new roof on here I have a lot of dry wall to replace in side but can't start that until the new roof is on and the place is dry Thank you for all of the Information guys. Buy next hunting season My cabin will be dry and have heat instead of leaking and no heat like it was this year lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culvercreek hunt club Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 If you have the proper ventilation. Color of roof won't matter. yeah, yeah. I know the drill. A light colored roof is still cooler than a dark one. Even with ventilation there can be a temperature difference. and when you are off the grid and rely on just windows for cooling, a few degrees can make a huge difference, especially in the loft.
