If you have considerable experience in the roofing industry or in general construction you may want to think about installing a new metal roof for your property yourself when one is needed. The project will require a large investment of both time and effort so you should be certain you have the necessary skills before starting construction. It will be a good idea to at least speak to some professional installation companies before starting the work yourself in order to gain their opinions on whether your project is suitable for a DIY approach.
You should complete a large amount of research into the costs of the necessary tools and roofing materials in your area before starting the construction phase. Comparisons between different suppliers should be made. During this process you can also obtain some quotations for having the work completed professionally from one or two roofing contractors so that you can compare the expense against doing everything yourself. If you can use a single company to provide the materials and installation this may work out a lot cheaper than you first thought.
If you do decide that after considerable research you are going to attempt the installation yourself then a roofing analysis will need to be carried out in order to get an accurate idea of the cost of the materials you will need. An accurate drawing of your proposed roof design should be submitted to a specialist who will complete the analysis. The drawing will not need to be of professional standards but as many details as possible about measurements and quantities should be included.
Before any construction begins the vitally important research phase should be completed fully. You will need to ensure that your current skill set is sufficient to finish the project yourself and that any quotations you have received for materials are accurate.
