  • Is it safe to walk on a metal roof of a metal building?
  • I had my roof replaced. The contractor did not use felt paper?
  • What’s less expensive as far as roofing, “screw down metal roofing” or “basic shingle roofing”?
  • Would these be an example of “architectural roofing shingles”? If not, can you tell me where to find them?
  • What is the best roof paint/coating to use for a metal (tin) roof?
  • Our metal roof sweats inside the room, we have not replaced the ceiling yet. What could cause this?
  • If you had a metal roof installed, please name the company, the style of roof and if you are satisified?

      aluminum metal roofing weighs approx 1/2 pound per square foot. steel roofing about 1 1/2 pounds per square foot and up depending on coatings. hope this helps.

      asphalt shingles weigh starting at 240 pounds per sq and go up to 375 pounds per square.
