One question that every homeowner has to wrestle with at one point or another is whether or not to install their own roof or hire roofing contractors. Each approach has its own pros and cons, and they both require a fair amount of advance work and research beforehand to make sure that, regardless of which choice you make, your roof is installed properly. Either way, you'll need the right materials, which you can buy from Dixieland Metals of Alabama.

The main advantage of DIY roofing is that it's cheaper, but there are other benefits as well. When you install your own roof, you're doing it on your own time with materials you picked, and at the quality level you need. If you have relevant experience and want to be in complete control of the project, DIY is the right choice for you.

Experience is the key word there, because roofing is complicated, and books on the subject often leave out important steps. Also, there are a number of safety issues involved with roofing that might be better handled by skilled metal roofing contractors.

In any case, when you're ready for a new metal roof or siding, purchase quality materials from Dixieland Metals. They make metal roofing and siding panels in their own manufacturing facility and sell metal roofing materials to both the general public and contractors. In addition to metal roofing and siding, they also sell pole barn kits, trim, accessories and fasteners, and they will ship to anywhere in the country.
