Low pitch? No problem! Go with metal!
What happens here
As the main roof panels are installed, workers shift focus to the critical finishing details. This involves installing various metal trim pieces, such as eave trim, gable trim, and possibly ridge caps (though not explicitly shown). These trim pieces provide a finished look, protect the edges of the roof system, and ensure water is properly managed and sealed. Small pieces of trim are seen being placed along the edge, indicating the detailed work involved in sealing the roof.
Goal: Complete the edges and perimeter of the roof with appropriate flashing and trim for waterproofing and aesthetics.
