Where the best place to buy Roofing Materials

[rspann]

This is a roof just completed by my roofman, could it have been better if he was working for a large company? But I suppose some people know more about building than anybody else. $22000, except the garage.Material from Lifetime roofing.

Guttering has no joins, they pull up the whole seventy odd ft with ropes.That price includes drip edge on all valleys and right around.

@Kia motors, I can show you a Varma roof after ten years and it still good ,I also have one four years and the color is still perfect. I know of two from other suppliers that have faded and even has large spots of rust. The owner of Varma told me the warranty is thirty five years on the color I bought and fifty on Copper Penny. she real cool ,give her a call. The one in the pic I bought from Lifetime because of the color I wanted to use on that building was unavailable at Varma.

People does get their eye dig out every day, it seems, when valuers over value properties and when buying from companies, for example.

The simple fact is that there is a value or cost attached to getting the guarantee of a finished product with good quality and turn-key managed job. The owner does not have to be there every day, 2-3 times per day, sort out materials, delivery, etc. Every day people get ripped off from short hand jobs and jobs hang up because of disagreement, etc.

Quick question. If you pay a large roofing company to do a roof, and Kwame and Mukesh arrive at you site to do the job,what is the difference if Kwame and Mukesh took a job and did it themselves . Will it come out different, will the price be the same?
Guys on Trinituner looking for advice and options, and I try to give advice that can save money by sharing the methods I have used on my own buildings. Many tuners have called me for my roof man no. And have gotten through, so if York wants to be sarcastic and that is helping him, no problem.

The advice is great but of no value if you still cant get a roofman to do the job at that low price. Bottom line just post the Pariaman phone number. I hope ppl doh have to wait too long. I will personally call him for a booking on 2 roofs in the coming months.

You can get shorthand and rip offs from even the big companies. They also send the same small man to do the job. The next thing is that everybody don't have the same pockets here,,so what about the ones who cannot afford the large companies and project managers?
I get quotes from people just passing and seeing my buildings going up and I can tell you they not anything like the prices you talking. I also got a quote for this same roof for over a hundred thousand labour, and they were sending a small man to do it and the rest is for management.
All the nice jobs you see all over Trinidad, what percentage is done by a big company?
I not saying everybody can oversee their work like me,or that the big companies are not worth the while,but what about who can't afford it?

I got a guy to do blockwork, ring beam and roof (simple flat) for a 720 sq ft flat house for $15000. Wouldnt be the same for a much bigger roof with gables, hips and valleys.

Roof systems in Caroni is good. I had bought from GGI and color was charcoal which was supposed be kinda grey. If you see that color now after 5 years it faded badly.

[rspann]

Did you buy PVA or PVdf?

[ruffneck_12]

Does trinidad have fiberglass insulation?

[zagie]

need some more info on roof systems thinking about purchasing sheeting with pvdf finish from them, how do the pvdf quality compare to damus or lifetime roofing is.......or is it a standard finish they all have on the sheeting

from what i understand all these companies that have made a name for themselves; used to bring in KYNAR. Now they are bringing PVDF, which they claim is the same but it is not. SO more than likely what you would have gotten 10 yrs ago is not the same as what I would get today. My parents swear by Varma too but makes no sense purchasing the same thing at a higher price.

Kynar is a registered trade name for one manufacturers brand of PVDF.

[anmaauto2016]

Bought Standing Seam PVDF from Roof Mechanics , $10.00 +Vat per sq ft

[KIA Motors]

Kynar is a registered trade name for one manufacturers brand of PVDF.

yea but from what I understand, the kynar "brand" lasts like 10-15 yrs...some still shiny and looking nice. but the PVDF they selling now not going beyond 3-5 years. Im at a lost as to what to buy. Our market no longer have kynar. I'm willing to pay the cost but no one has it

[zagie]

I used the pvdf for my roof that was installed in 2014, so far so good, no discoloration etc.

I have some mocha brown under ceiling sheets for sale if anyone interested... pm me

Just bumping this post. I need a contact for a roofing installer. Got quotes from a few suppliers, lifetime, roofman and roof systems. Roofman has the best prices so far (specified pvdf, standing seam, radiant barrier etc so everybody quote basically the same thing) I'll check roof mechanics, Varma, and island roofing.

I need a good installer now
