Watch This Before Hiring Roofers

What happens here

After successfully reordering the correct-sized metal roof panels, the roofing crew proceeds with the installation. The long, 32-foot panels are carefully carried up the steep A-frame roof using specialized ladder systems. Each panel is then aligned with the previous one, locked into place with a standing seam, and secured with metal screws. The screws feature a rubber gasket and a black washer to create a watertight seal. This process ensures the roof is not only aesthetically pleasing but also fully protected from the elements. The crew also ensures that any snow accumulation is cleared from the roof before panel installation.

Goal: Secure the 32-foot metal panels onto the A-frame roof

in with the H guy in the morning it's a foot short yeah it's about a foot short to the peak we got to call Corbin hey how you doing good hey uh the guys are pulling panels up right now and they're saying the panels are a foot short we're at 30 ft 8 in 30t 8 in so they're measuring the peak 30 ft 8 in is that what you got 294 so the the boards are 29 and 29 298 and 3/4 and we're measuring the rout 30 and 8 all right he's uh he's brainstorming what to do I know I know what we could do but it just sucked it layering it yeah Murphy's Law anything can go wrong will go wrong we'll put the Eve on we'll just switch shift gears until something happens our panels that we waited on for 2 weeks they're a foot Too Short um supposed to be 30 and 8 in this came out to be 29 and 8 in so exactly a foot our only options are to either a take these back they probably won't take them back cuz they're the whatever length maybe who knows second option is to stack it and so what that would mean is we would have essentially a 29f footer and then an extra foot on top and though it's perfectly safe it the problem is is because how steep this roof pitch is you're going to be looking and staring exactly at this perfect seam that's coming across according to the weather app we got a Stormfront coming in so it's it's going to be freezing rain and possibly snow and I was really starting to breathe a lot easier thinking that now this thing is going to be safe and go to plan and damn it we're going to be another three weeks out on this hey how's it going hey Corbin how you doing man good how are you uh dude not that great what what are our options right now man I don't know I'm speechless right now so I'm going to have to call in with the Met manufacturer I want it to be in one piece so it really make sense to to piece it in and so I'm just gonna have to order new panels I guess okay okay all right so we're g we're going to be another couple of weeks out on this huh Le time is two weeks uh but you know like we previously discussed I mean with with the pitch being as steep as it is in this case it helps us out a little bit the guys will be able to be on ladders and brush snow off and stuff all right thanks man all right bye okay well Murphy's Law anything can go wrong will go wrong and has been going wrong so far um Corbin's a stud um he's not going to make me take care of the bill he's going to cover it which I really appreciate that um and we got our moisture barriers everything's on so…
