Ever seen these installed? A job we just finished

RG, is that a happy smile or a grin?

I haven't seen any roofs like this in my area. I would love to install one I just don't think the average homeowner would use this over the screw-down but I'll tell what it look's a h*** of a lot better than painted metal panels. Roof looks great.

Hardt, I am not sure where you live, but this works better than most of what is out there. It is expensive, about $3.00 per foot to buy the materials and the needed accessories, but that is about what you would pay for a Grand Manor shingle for instance, and that would make it about like selling a high end shingle install. This system breathes also so it is like installing a "cold roof" for no additional money. The labor is about what you would get for installing a standing seam roof, IE. easy (?) on a straight roof, and progressively harder and more time consuming on the more cut up ones. I would price it between a high end shingle and a standing seam roof. If everyone is using the light gauge pole barn metal (AG) panels as some of the guys here would call them, it is more expensive, but then again, you can hardly get the granules to come off from this stuff. Much better than a painted surface. It is also galvalumed on both side before the granules are applied. Lastly, it is a look that people are used to like a laminated shingle, but on steroids. It is a real neat look. It will not be for every roof, but I am sure you can upsell and give people an option. It will be a large part of our revenue this year I am sure. Looking forward to pushing it hard this year.

Do you think direct mailers would be effective for this type of market? USPS has an online map that shows each route and what the average household makes and will hit each address for 17.5 cents. I was just going to send the postcard to outlying towns(not our main two) on routes w/ the best income. It would cost about $200 to hit ~550 houses, including printing costs.

I've been considering it pretty heavily. We have some decent work lined up for spring, but we've got room for more!

Considering that you can make that up with only 1 sale, I would think that would be a home run! You should email me so that I can talk to you about costs and pricing. It is important that you know a few tips and some of my schooling before you do a few of the jobs. It might be helpful. ( you should be able to make up that much money in the first square)
