A standing seam roof is more than a profile. Resolve the system, substrate, transitions, snow-shedding paths and finish expectations before committing.
Ask about system fit
Which panel is specified? Is the roof pitch appropriate? What substrate and underlayment are required? These questions should be answered for the actual product and property.
Review valleys, wall transitions and penetrations rather than judging the proposal only by an open roof plane.
Ask about life around the roof
Where could snow leave the roof above doors, decks and walkways? What finish appearance should you expect? How will future service personnel access equipment?
Document answers in the proposal and confirm any accessory engineering or work assigned to other trades. Our materials guide helps organize the comparison.
