Our established, nationwide contractor base combined with local on-demand metal roofing production capabilities will provide great sales opportunities.”
Profiles will be available for architectural, structural, and flush wall/soffit panel standing seam applications. Paint and substrate warranties of 25 years and 35 years are available for panels, depending on the substrate metal they are made from and the finish that is applied.
