I'm a maintenance mechanic supervisor never installed a metal roof before, maybe in the future But I always appreciate a good thick of the trade, THANK YOU FOR SHARING THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

[@MrVIGUY]

Hey Michael, I have watched many videos of the installation of standing seam and I have to say that you are truly on point. I have been installing SS since about 1985 and presently own 3 different machines. Standing seam is all about clean lines and symmetry and you certainly have that under control. Hooked panels, folded tabs on the legs, hooked valleys. There are a lot of hacks out there but you are not one of them. I'm not easily impressed but your work looks top notch.

[@MandMconstruction]

Thank you sir

[@jamiebrierly3107]

Nice to see someone else know how to do it correct! Always lock gutter edge on hookstrip instead of putting a gasket screw through a nice looking panel and use cleats in valleys and transition and z strip under cap and transition!

[@douglaswilliams7130]

oh I just love crap like this. those guys are obviously well salted pro's. I wasn't that familiar with metal roofing systems. 1) I didn't know it was so complicated to get that professional,finished look 2) I didn't know that if you listened carefully and payed attention you could learn so much. maybe not so much to give it a go like I'm going to ,but enough to enjoy sitting and watching it again. Huge tremendous Qaalpla's to America's backbone. The tradesmen. subbed. thanks for the educational fun guys.

I love the look of metal roofs and cant wait for the day i have a country house that will get one. You did a nice job!

[@stratmister009]

Doing a great job, some installers I've seen don't pay attention to those details and you end up with leaks, beehives, wood rot.

[@howtodoitdude1662]

I like that you used both a vapor barrier and sleepers. Nice quality work!

[@jamiebrierly3107]

Also one thing I have did in past under my transition behind my z strip is food the back of my panel up 3/4 inch or so just in case anything ever gets past my z strip! U did a awesome job and just one thing I have learnt passing it on to ya! I do a lot of older style true standing seam with turne metal where metal comes in a roll and make it all by hand and double locked etc! Looks nice, good job again!

[@choiceblade]

Huh, "...we mighta turned upside down on ya...". All good, bruv. You practically sold me a roof on this one. PLUS, ya got my sub. That was some great work treating metal roofing right. Dang. Hurricane Harvey just wiped my town off the face of earth. I'm getting my roof right. Thank you.

I’ve been doing research on how to do standing seam roofing and this is the best I’ve seen so far. Top of the line!!! If anyone is about to do standing seam this is the video to watch! Excellent video!

Beautiful job guys... I wish I could have done videos back in the 80s and 90s, so when my contractor said what's taking so long... let me show you the detail involved

[@MandMconstruction]

Thank you

[@bobbyjones88888]

very nice and clean. I am a roofer myself but never installed a standing seam roof. It looks a little tricky when it comes to a valley or change of pitch. I can tell this isnt your first job but you do good work.

[@robertbutler8004]

Jon, I have installed hundreds of metal roofing and I too have not installed a standing seam roof you are right this was a very difficult job. Yet we see smart asses like Andy know it all Hass criticizing the quality of this job!!

[@roycepavich2441]

The valleys are tricky at first but you just need the right method to fold it correctly

[@nandisaand5287]

I've watched several metal roof installation videos. This is the first one I've watched where the guy wears gloves.

[@hardset-vi3ze]

I notice you did not bend the tops of the panels up at the tops. I did a standing seam metal roof (snap lock/champion roofing) about 10 years ago and the OEM told us to cut notches on the top of each course and use the bender to bend up the very top lip at a 90 degree angle. Then use a high quality caulking and seal off the two inside corners. Then bring the Ridge Cap down over the 90 degree bend up areas and use neoprene washered fasteners to secure the Ridge Cap down thru the tops of the standing seams. It held great. The 90 degree bend ups prevented strong winds from blowing water up under the Ridge Cap and coming in on the very top where the two opposing sides of the roof met. Don't let anyone tell you water won't run uphill regardless of grade. Think hurricanes!!! The roof is holding up fine...no complaints from the PHD engineer who paid me $1,264,500 for the place. I was wonder if and why the technology has changed? Seemed like a good system?

[@MandMconstruction]

Jack, At the ridge we use a piece of Z bar flashing just like what's done here with the transition flashing. The Z bar has a 3/8 butyl tape under it and we seal at the ribs with geocell. We use fasteners to attach the Z bar through the roof and finally attach the ridge cap to the Z bar with rivets. On this roof there are no exposed fasteners at all.

[@juancarloscaraveo5499]

Wow. Great job guys

[@LuisTorres-cp3gb]

Looks like you guys do good work. Let me recommend the green and red aviator snips from Malco they work the best. Also, atlas 370 gloves ,they are the best.

Wow, so glad my metal roof install won't be this complicated! Above my paygrade!

[@MandMconstruction]

this one is a retro fit. we lathed it out with 1x4s over the shingles And insulation, fastened into underlying framing 20"apart

[@MandMconstruction]

hi t years and years of doing it. I grew up with a roofer. some vendors and manufacturers offer a course you can take as well

[@whatdaheck9667]

that is a 16" strirated panel ,should be on 18" centers on lading but overall well done on the roof as i have repaied many standing seam roofs that were done improperly . i prefer the 16" meriden lock myself in the hipped panel not strirated .also i dont use rake trim ,i cut and fold 1" lengthwise and use eve trim

[@nickritchie4905]

Who is your panel supplier

[@beardedroofer]

Technically that's a snap together roof system. Double lock standing seam is made entirely different. From manufacturing to installation. Been roofing for going on 18 yrs and by comparison, true double lock seam roofs are the way to go, especially in the northern climate.

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Man it kills me how easy you guys make this look! I’ve done a couple simple metal roofs with barn type metal sheets and I thought it was a pain in the butt. These standing seam roofs are so nice if you know how to do it

[@MandMconstruction]

Thank you sir

[@62baja09]

Nice Job! As a metal roofer myself it's nice to see a tutorial on the right way. Everyone thinks metal roofs are easy. Most Yo-Yo's would of cut the Seam and run 1 piece. LOL

[@MandMconstruction]

62baja09 thanks, and yes you're right, we go behind a lot of yoyos and replace their so called work!

[@sgebhardt1000]

Well you should do mechanical lock you do not cut the lock you shrink the rib and hand lock it the old school way looks real nice and works better no z bar to leak you are posted to bend tabs on the sides of that z bar going up the ribs and use butyl tape up the sides not caulk metal expands and contracts and cracks caulk quickly

[@sgebhardt1000]

But it’s good to see good hard workers out there too

[@paulsouth4794]

I'd like to see how you finish the ridge capping . This kinda stuff is coming to the land of OZ

[@benth162]

Interestingly enough I worked with the designer who was one of the first men to design the rollers and machine to produce those types of panels. I, at the time worked for a company called Champion Metal in Oregon. There are multiple types of interlocking panels, but that particular design was ours. From what I can see, their roofing system with their new tools is more advanced that was ours though because we designed those panels over 33 years ago and had not worked out all the kinks. Running those panels through the forming machine is more difficult that some types because of the shape of that locking rib with the turned under lip which locked onto the previous panel. That type metal roof though should not be walked on unless they know exactly where the skip sheeting is or they will warp the panels causing a possible point of leakage. These types of roofs though should be made from 16 Ga. galvanized and painted steel sheets with a lower content of carbon because with a high carbon content, when you crimp a seam, it will crack. A grade of steel with lower amounts of carbon are what is called for, so the metal can be worked more easily, even though it is not quite as strong as the high carbon content type. I can no longer remember the grade types of that metal after all these years.

Is underlayment a radiant barrier? In Florida, seeing more metal roofs replacing shingles, due to heat and high humidity, singles have an effective life 1/2 as elsewhere

[@gary24752]

Why are the second layer of batten strips bent down to align with the first layer of batten strips in the valley? I also see on the one roof you only have one layer of batten strips running parallel with the eave so how is there going to be any air flow from the eave going to the ridge line?

[@yourfast07]

This is really good job, how much is for roof like that

[@nickb.237]

I've always wondered, is it mandatory to be a smoker to be a roofer? Also, it seems really insufficient to only be using one screw per anchor on those panels. Just chiming in that's all! Looks great guys

[@mustafaaktas7460]

Thanks for the video and great job done. However, a Q? when standing seam metal is nailed/screwed to the floor /base like corrugated metal, what is the point to use it as far as corrosion/expansion/contraction is concerned?

[@MandMconstruction]

The fasteners hold the clip down and are covered by the next sheet so no fasteners are exposed. Also, the clip allows some movement for expansion/ contraction. The runs on this roof are so short that expansion and contraction aren't really as much of concern compared to 40 ft long runs.. thanks for watching!

[@jstrapsanboots]

Why did you choose to install furring strips? Couldn't you have installed directly on ISO board?

[@chacha12324]

Thanks for showing all the details in your video,is there a certain certification to look for when searching for metal roofing installers? Ty

[@raylaingsburg3645]

I watched your valley part and was looking at my newly installed roof I can see the clear through the rib on one piece. How much work will it be to have it redone?

[@MandMconstruction]

I'm not sure. Call your roofing contractor back out to take a look. They might need to replace that 1 panel or rivit a tab over it. Hard to say without seeing it...

[@MandMconstruction]

Fold it around the rib after they are locked together

[@petergriffin1546]

[@eaglase]

do you have sheeting under the reflective underlayment? getting ready to do this type of roofing on my build and getting varying answers on should or should not... thinking yes, with furring strips (for condensation air flow) then sheeting)...thoughts?

[@MandMconstruction]

Yes sir, this is a retro fit system, so there's a single roof underneath the radiant barrier

[@vanoknt]

i wouldn't use untreated wood under the metal roof, and even if its treated you still need to have a moisture barrier between metal and wood, condensation will destroy it. unless it a super dry area.

I have a question if you had to replace 3 or 4 panels due to tree damage. And panels really damaged. How difficult are they to remove and/or disconnect panels from each others seeing how they were connected and locked in place. If I install from right to left. Do I remove everyone of them to get to the damage panels. Lets say it's 5 or 6 panels in from the gable edge or from a valley.

[@MandMconstruction]

You can unclip the seams if its a snap lock. Start at one end and run it up the seam. You'll have to remove that section of ridge cap and Z bar. It's unlikely that the colors will match though. Good luck
