Order for roofing

Main roof

We ordered metal roofing for our house because it's guaranteed for 50 years. While shingle roofs will fly like kites with the first strong breeze comes through, and leak after 15 years, the metal will stay put.

VicWest is metal roofing made in Victoriaville. Ordering galvanized steel as opposed to a painted roof saves considerable money that we put into a thicker guage of metal (26 as opposed to 28; low numbers mean thicker steel, for some reason). The local code requires to use a galvanized metal called galvalume, which is steel with a zinc and aluminum coating. Only agricultural buildings are allowed to use regular galvanized steel roofs. I will have to bring this up at the next town meeting before some poor guy has to rip off his roof.

Ordered it form Cowansville RONA, a really great place. I've never been disappointed with the service there.
