Metal roofing opinions

[ddjjeep]

Im finaly getting around to ordering some metal roofing for my pole barn/garage project and was wondering if anyone had any good sources or tips? Ive checked on pricing localy and on the internet and found a few places that all have similar pricing. I can order the correct length (they dont stock anything bigger than 12', I need 16') through my local Home Depot and get it delivered, or I can order some from a place I found on the internet (located in Florida, Im in NH) and get it delivered for the same price.
Both of these prices are far cheaper than any of the local building supply companies that I usualy deal with for other materials.

Anyway, just wondered if anyone else had any experiance with similar situations.

Talk to a local pole building builder...they may be able to shoot you a great price. The locals here often order extra material for customers who are doing their own projects and it gets shipped at no additonal charge when they get a building delivered.

All of the steel for my shop came from Metal Sales. You have to buy through a dealer though. They have several plants around the country (mostly east half I think). There is one plant about 20 miles from my house and I've gone there to pick up special orders. They can make any length you need if you are will ing to pay for it. 16' was a standard stocked length at my dealer.

Can you guys give me an idea of how much a new metal roof would cost for my 60x32 shop. I'm trying to decide wether to repair the roof or put a new one on.

Thanks,
Jeff
