I sometimes think these roofing companies just pull a number out of the phone book.

I've forgotten the exact size of our roof but I seem to recall it was about 30 sq +/-.

We did it about 5 yrs ago and I was getting quotes for 30 yr shingles in the $10k range installed. If you put 30 yr shingles in the house instead of on the roof you still can't get 30 years out of them. At the time shingles were about $70 a sq. I could buy steel from a supplier I knew for similar money so it's a no brainer. Called a couple of contractors to quote just the install and it's STILL $10k and I'm supplying the steel and all the assorted doodads.

I see an ad for a steel roof installed all in for 2.60ish a sq ft. He measures it up and we pick the color and profile, $8100.

Typical roofer, he says it will be done in August and he shows up in December. Lol. Did an excellent job, cleaned up all the mess and repaired a rafter and replaced part of a sheet no charge.

Best of all, it don't leak anymore.
