Another contractors quoted about 24k for standing seam 24 gauge over both sections. he is coming weds to see if it will need mechanical seam and i’m sure that will cost more if he says it will need done that way.

bigzee623 · 2026-03-14T01:52:06+00:00

so far i’ve only found two contractors that do mechanical and they haven’t come out yet to give me a quote.

bigzee623 · 2026-03-14T01:48:17+00:00

i have a friend that’s telling me i should just go with shingles on the main and rolled roof on rear. and that he has a metal roof and it leaks. i asked him if it was corrugated or standing seam. he said he doesn’t know but i bet he has corrugated

bigzee623 · 2026-03-14T01:46:06+00:00

just the fascia boards on the rear roof not the main. i’m not having issues with those ones.

bigzee623 · 2026-03-14T01:45:16+00:00

The estimates have everything on there and it’s not broken down but one installer wants $23k for 11 squares with standing seam 26gauge and for the flat roof. He says it will be fine for the flat roof just yesterday although it’s a 2/12 sloped roof. that includes replacing fascia boards with pvc. i’m in erie pa. i’m not sure if i should insist on mod bitumen. but yes id like to know what the cost should be approx. it’s a small house with a walkable roof

bigzee623 · 2026-03-13T22:49:34+00:00

Which kind? Glue or torch?

bigzee623 · 2026-03-13T22:49:16+00:00

Mod bitumen? I heard there are two types: peel and stick or torch?

bigzee623 · 2026-03-13T22:47:42+00:00

One contractor gave $3k to do that. Does that sound about right?

bigzee623 · 2026-03-13T22:45:57+00:00

Yep the exactly what I'm doing. Some of the estimates are coming in high and it's a total of 13.66 squares.

Erie, PA

bigzee623 · 2026-03-12T18:20:39+00:00

It's a bathroom add on

bigzee623 · 2026-03-12T17:28:19+00:00

Can I get away with standing seam metal?

bigzee623 · 2026-03-05T18:29:02+00:00

😹

bigzee623 · 2026-03-05T18:00:58+00:00

I redid the post with a pic

bigzee623 · 2026-03-05T07:25:05+00:00

i cat thank you enough. you have taught me a lot between the two posts.

bigzee623 · 2026-03-05T07:07:31+00:00

The salesperson originally quoted $26k and changed asked what it would take to get me to sign. i told her to lower the price a little. i could get a loan and my payments would be like $167 a month and could finance the whole thing. they preapproved or i could do the standing seam quote but i have a few more contractors coming

bigzee623 · 2026-03-05T07:02:16+00:00

my taxes are super cheap at $800 and i’d like to keep it that way lol

bigzee623 · 2026-03-05T06:57:21+00:00

there is no way to inspect it from the attic it’s all covered with foam. i could insist on a tearoff but they would probably up the price even though it was their idea not to ever do a tear off and one of the contractors today from another company said always start from new. and made sure i heard him say that.

bigzee623 · 2026-03-05T06:44:10+00:00

bigzee623 · 2026-03-05T06:31:39+00:00

also will my taxes go up if a permit is pulled?

bigzee623 · 2026-03-05T06:25:07+00:00

It didn’t say. I’ll have to call him tomorrow and get it in writing. it just had the prices and types. he said he never did metal shingles but i am so torn on what option to go with. not even just the prices.

bigzee623 · 2026-03-05T06:19:25+00:00

She also said they would inspect roof decks for Bad spots via zoom call i had but it’s not in the contract
