Build your own home and install a metal roof
A metal roof has several advantages over a conventional shingle roof.
- Not affected by hail as far as water tight integrity
- Not affected by gusty winds
- Installs much faster than shingles
- Has a much longer life-span when installed correctly
- Paint surface can contain solar reflecting particles to reduce attic temperatures
- Snow loading slides off much easier
We have a video explaining all the installation considerations for installing a metal roof on your home.
Here is a recommended video showing how to use a regular wood skill saw blade with the blade installed backwards. I haven’t tried it but it looks good.
