I always wondered why the steel roofing was so much more, especially the shed style roofing as that goes on fast so labor should be less. I love the look of the raised rib style.

Around here in the Appleton /Green Bay area of WI I see more and more roofs replaced with the r style - shed style roof and they look good. I have not used this but don't think it should be hard as you can get cut to length pieces. I know people who have built sheds and they say not to cut it with saw as the edges can then rust. I think you should tear off old so you can get it to sit good and flat on sheeting. I wonder if it is noisy in the rain as I know my dads sheds are but that is without wood sheeting/ attic.

Reduce ins cost is great too.

Good luck
