Is $25,000 to install a nail strip standing seam metal roof a fair price?
Project Details
My roof has a low pitch, roughly 2/12 on one side and 1.5/12 on the other. I live in the Coastal Pacific Northwest, so we get some wind and a lot of rain, but very little snow or ice. I'm trying to understand why nail strip standing seam panels are generally not recommended below a 3/12 slope, even though a manufacturer's application engineer said it would be okay for my location with a good peel/stick underlay. I even tested sample panels with a hose and saw no leakage. I'm concerned about potential issues like wind pressure or icing that I might be missing. I'm also trying to gauge the risk of leaks in a few years if I choose the cheaper nail strip option, as I really want to avoid a torch-on roof.
