Step 1: Perform an Accurate Roof Takeoff (The Most Important Step)
Start with precise measurements. Upload clear photos and measurements of your roof or use our free online takeoff request form. Include:
- Total square footage (length × width × pitch factor)
- Panel profile and gauge preference (see our gauge guide)
- Color and coating choice (PVDF recommended for most homes)
- Trim, flashing, underlayment, fasteners, and closures
Our experts review every takeoff within 24 hours and return a complete bill of materials with no surprises.
Step 2: Choose Your Premium Metal Roofing System
Decide between standing seam, metal shingles, or stone-coated tiles using our comparison resources:
Pro tip: Add 10–15% waste factor for cuts, hips, valleys, and errors.
Step 3: Place Your Order Online Securely
Once you approve the takeoff:
- Review the detailed quote (includes freight estimate)
- Select any custom options (colors, gauge, coatings)
- Choose shipping method and delivery date
- Complete secure checkout (we accept all major cards and financing options)
You’ll receive an immediate order confirmation with tracking details.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Ordering Online
