"We have a big steel roof (side by side duplex and 3 car garage) and live near the gulf region in Mississippi. 4000 square foot is what I’m thinking. The bids were just all over the place, they varied from like $35,000 to $85,000 for the exact same job. That’s the crazy thing here."
"We ended up going with a local company that bid out the job at 40K, so all said and done it ended up being like $10 per square foot and that included everything. They offered us a good warranty on the material - 50 years - so let’s just hope they are as good as their warranty."
"The job does look great and we couldn’t be happier."
