Metal Roof Installation

NOT AN EASY TASK

Metal roof installation is probably the most labor intensive process out of all the systems we’ve discussed in this blog series. While the other systems may be technically difficult, none of them were too terribly laborious like a metal roof is. Metal roof installation, in addition to being a physically demanding, requires some technical expertise, just as the other systems in this series did. So not only is it physically exhausting, but the metal roof installation process is also mentally demanding and takes training to install it correctly.

Metal Roof Installation: Physically Demanding

As we said above, metal roof installation takes hard physical labor to get the job done. Metal sheets must be carried to every section of the roof, then meticulously installed to ensure a good seal on all four sides. The only way to keep a metal roof watertight is to install it carefully and thoroughly. Dealing with these large metal sheets during a windy day can be extremely difficult as the wind can catch the panels. It is also a difficult job when the sun is shining because the metal panels are heated up and any skin that touches them is going to hurt.

A Detailed Process

There are many different types of metal roofs with different requirements for fasteners and installation methods. It is crucial that everyone on the crew knows the proper way to install each type of metal panel, otherwise you’ll get a poorly installed roof that will leak. These details can be hard to learn and training can be time-consuming, but it’s a necessity to ensure a quality final product for the customer.

Conclusion

Metal roofs can be extremely difficult to install, both physically and mentally. They require training to learn how to properly install each panel style, and a lot of hard labor in the actual process of installing the roof.
