Is a metal roof the new cowskin rug? Balla status confirmed!

So I have the equivalent of a cowskin rug? Kickass.

You live in the country. You should have a legit cowskin rug already!!

I just don't see many people in residential, suburban areas getting metal roofs. The few I do see are in the rural areas. And that is a shitty door-to-door territory.

Also, based on your cost references, I have to assume that insurance companies aren't likely to cover a steel replacement of a composition roof? That's also going to hurt you if the homeowner has to cover the difference out of pocket. I bet most would rather risk paying a bit of a deductible and having to replace it more often. Not that metal isn't preferable in many ways, just saying.

Oh, and fwiw, I HATE door to door sales of any type. I would almost rather pay more than to "reward" that business practice.

Again we dont really talk them into the upgrade. As a general rule we simply dont do composite roofs. We only go after people who already have a steel roof like the ones in those links that i posted. Their insurance co. usually covers the cosmetic damage and granule loss from hail. We talk to the homeowner, if theyre interested we verify that their insurance policy doesnt have a cosmetic endorsement. If it doesnt we are good to go. People like new roofs. Even steel roofs suffer that aging look and other problems. Those long warrantys are only good for actual manufacturer defects. But not things that happened to the roof due to weather or normal wear and tear and aging

But door TO door, i dont know if id call it that. Often times i will knock one door in a whole neighborhood. Then have to drive across town or even to a different town to find another that would qualify. Cause some are new or dont have the damage. Door to door sounds like I just start on one side of the street and work my way down all of them lol

My neighborhood has quite a few, including my home, but we haven't had a severe storm this year.

Mind saying the town and street? At least i can make note of it in case you do get some hail.

I don't see how you talk people into spending the extra $300+ a square for those.

I toured a place that makes a metal shingle panel like that decra. He took 24ga colored metal, stamped it, powdercoated it, hung it, then last step of running it through an oven. The margin on it was insane.

Not metal shingles. Standing seam.

[Gasser64]

Im not sure if i got your reply right but standing seam is like one step below the "metal shingle" ones. Basically all it is, is a piece of steel that they stamped on some machine to look like a 4 foot long row of cedar wood shake. You've seen those houses that actually have a cedar wood roof?

These are made to mimic that look as best they can.

Yeah, and the most expensive damn roof that there is. I don't see how anyone pays that much for a metal shingle style roof.

What are materials a sq on that? The stuff I looked at was mid 300/lower 400 a sq. That is three times what the best shingles are almost. Then the labor is also higher.

I've looked into selling a product like this but honest to god people who like the look of standing seam gawk at the price 95/100 times.

Has anyone ever actually bought anything from a door to door salesman?

Very rarely. If I need what someone is offering, I have a rule that if I didn't reach out first, I'm not buying.

I buy on my own agenda.

Now I know why metal roofs are so damn expensive...the salesman. I did a galvalume r panel roof and materials was $3500 for 40sq. Labor would have been insane so we did the majority ourselves.

[talisman]

I'll admit I bought a Uverse TV package from one once. I was in the market for better TV service, had already been considering it, and the salesman happened to come by my house. I almost didn't just so I wouldn't encourage them, but he busted out a $100 gift card for signing up and hooked me. I feel guilty about it to this day, like I did something unspeakable.

Not the same, I can sell the galvalume r panel in 26ga for what amounts to $56 a square. The stuff gasser is settling is six times that materials only, I've got a guy who'll install for 50-75 a square on through fastened. Over double up to triple that on conceal fasten systems

[Gasser64]

Once again im not selling it. I dont think I have never sold a single one. Replace existing, I do often. Im not talking them into buying anything cause they already have it. Its on their roof already its just damaged. And their insurance co. covers the damage.

Oh, then we're on the same page.
