the materials were delivered by mistake and i cannot find who it came from.
We are putting a new roof on our garage and doing the work ourselves. We want to put on a metal roof as we did on our house a few years ago. However, I would like to find something more decorative than just the plain metal roof, since the garage & roof are in close proximity to our deck and is very visible from the house. We looked into the new metal shakes, etc., but they are very costly. So before we just give up and go with the plain metal roofing sheets, I was wondering if we could find some decorative siding (vinyl, etc) and put it on the roof instead of the sheets of plain metal roofing. The roof will be going over an existing shingle roof that is starting to lose a lot of it’s shingles. Would the siding be able to shed water, snow, etc. like a metal roof would? We live in Indiana. What do you think?
a link to a page or explanation of the basics/differences of all methods of commercial roofing would be great. Built up roofing, modified bitumen, single ply, etc. Thanks!
I am looking at purchasing a home that is in need of a new roof among other things, and was wondering if someone could tell me what the difference was between the different materials available for use. The house is in Pittsburgh, PA. The homes around the area seem to have either slate or asphalt. What is the life expectancy of each type? Are there certain benefits accompanied with each one? Any advice would be great.
can anyone help me find out what companies are the main manufacturers of commercial roofing material (BUR, singly ply, etc)
Anyone familiar with replacing the roofing on mobile homes? What are the industry standards for, materials used, and replacement techniques?

My brother is a roofing contractor. He has more than 20 years of experience in this field. He used to have his own roofing business which was successful up until now (because of economy crisis). Now he is without job. He has been trying to find a job with a large roofing companies. However, he has an experience in residential roofing rather than commercial. I was wondering if there is possibly a quick course that he could take at home to be able to do something else. It could be roofing related or something else. Please advise. He has lots of pride and all that really brings him down. Thank you!
Materials such as: shingles, metal roofing and self adhesive. If so how do we go about getting in touch with the vendors?
