The house I grew up in had metal shingles and it was 'bullet proof'. The house was torn down in 2017 and was 100 years old with the original roof. After my grandparents died and my uncles and aunts sold the place the new owners didn't have annual termite control done... All it took was a decade of that and the house was damaged so much it was uneconomical to repair due to the termites being in the entire floor and every wall (East Texas Huntsville area where the termites are Texans too, bigger and bader, haha)

Thank you for informing everyone on your channel of newer easier ways to home build prep

It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s kzfaq.infoUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.

Looks great! We put a metal Shingle roof product on our Straw Bale house in Florida 25 years ago. It still looks great. Zero issues despite 5-6 Hurricanes.

Love the Build Show. As an HVAC contractor/trainer innovative ideas get me excited. It doesn't have to be HVAC, building in general and next level thinking is something that keeps my mind wanting to create a better wheel.

Truly informative! I needed a reference that highlighted basic wood frame construction methods & techniques where kzfaq.infoUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU were best. I am pleased with the depth and clarity of Ryan’s Shed Plans. It was really convenient to capture!

Great product, definitely going this route when I build my house. Thanks Matt.

Although Matt would never say it, hats off to him for helping his employee build this house with his resources.

I put these exact same Edco shingles on my house 10 years ago. They look like the day they were installed. Great product. I have no affiliation with the company. Looks like slate from the ground. The only downside is to make sure you put snow stops on as, like many metal roofs, snow will avalanche.

I saw these about a year ago on the metal roof channel and I love the style ❤❤❤

Im doing this on my custom build! we wanted metal roof but love this look!

I am a fan of metal roofing. It's easy to install, looks great, and may last the lifetime of the house. The only drawback I have encountered was trying to find matching replacement panels to repair a small section of roofing that suffered damage from a fallen tree. The particular shake pattern was discontinued by the manufacturer a few years after we installed it. I searched all accross the nation to find something compatible without success. I ended up replacing the entire roof with galvalume standing seam as I was assured the profile and color would always be available.

Great video. Would have loved to see some flashing detail close up on this product

thanks Great content and great delivery

Well said. Thumbs up. And great backyard storage

Cool to see a new alternative.

I love a good metal roof, I don’t do Mutch roofing anymore, but 25 years ago I used to install Girard, Decra. Granulated steel tile. It was an awesome roof if it was installed right. unfortunately, I have repaired many granulated steel tile roofs. Failure always came in when a installer just don’t care. I like this style of roof because you lay your 1” x 4” vertically then 2” x 2” horizontally, and then you can insulate in between the bats. Something you should appreciate insulated roof. It really helped break that thermal transfer. When we started, we use smooth shank nails, and we found that they would back out through time. Then we went to ring shank nails. Made it harder to repair them, but really tied everything together. I find myself doing repairs on them occasionally because there isn’t a lot of steel tile installers out there.

Couple weeks late, mother just had her roof redone. Tried to convince her to do metal but she wanted the normal shingle look, but she did suggest to the roofer for the Fortified system you discussed on an earlier post.

Matt you always strive for the best construction outcome.

Great roof! That's what I'm going with. Thanks!

Hey Matt, take a look at Euroshield rubber roofing. I did it on my roof, and looks amazing.

I put one of these roofs on my house and it's looks great.

How is repair? Would love for repairs to be discussed during videos so we have the full info, thank you very much for your videos and the work you put in for us mat, amazing work!

I installed a Decra Shake steel roof on my house, in 1995. It's had 100+ mph winds , 100 degree heat, Hail and Snow. No leaks ,or degradation that I can see. Steel is the only way to go.

Really like the look

We just had this roof installed in the spring, over 2,600 sq ft went up in a day and it's been great. The neighbors are all commenting about how good it looks and we are planning a solar installation hopefully before the end of the year. This is the last roof I will ever put on a house thankfully.

Very nice roof!

Love the look my question is how adaptive is this style to solar panel mounting?

These look great. How do they compare to aluminum shingles?

Great Video Can you give more detail on how the roof itself is constructed did you vapor vent it? why is there no rain screen? how is it insulated?

Looks great Matt! How does this product compare in price to a Kynar standing seam roof?

I love it!

Replaced the original roof on a 1915 house because no one would touch the original tin shingles when a valley flash started leaking.

hope you show how they flash .and the ridge how do they install that so you dont see any fasteners.and do you order the ridge for the pitched roof you have ie;12/12 roof or 4/12 roof??

Hey Matt great Edco video, I have a question about venting the roof ,how was that done .thanks in advance

It was $33,000 in materials to do my house. I paid $4,000 for shingles. I can replace my roof every 15 years for the next 120 years before I hit the metals cost. At 120 years the metal will most likely need replaced. I just couldn’t.

EDCO should make the part that looks like the Slate a solar voltaic unit.

New subscriber. I love this roof. Hope I can get a discount somehow so I can get one. Asphalt for my house is expensive and I do not like the idea of watching it all fall down my gutter , into the downspout's and then onto the ground, and to mention , watching weeds grow in the gutter's.

It looks very nice. How does the total installation cost compare to traditional metal roofing?

Thanks for another great product review Matt. 2 things … 1. Anyone know if you can install solar over a metal roof like this? Solar sales guy seemed to think not. 2. Has anyone heard of Davinci Slate Composite roofing? It’s another slate look-alike, I thought it was made of rubber but I’m unsure?

I am building material supplier, and I have had several customers who have went the metal roof route who complained about their cellular service after the metal roofing was installed. Have you had any experience with cell service issues from metal roofs?

I wonder what the minimum pitch of the roof can be with this product as duriod shingles has its limits in that regard and metal is much better for low pitched roofs. I replaced our torch on roof with metal and its been great, no problems in 10 years and looks good, lifetime transferable warranty too!

Nice product, thank you man🖒

I lived in a house that was built in 1980, it had a metal roof that looked like tiles, but the advantage was the sheets came in 6 metre lengths, the house was rated for 220kph winds, as we lived in a Cyclone Area.

Hey Matt - This is a really interesting product. We're coming due for a roof replacement and while I've wanted to do a standing seam roof, my wife isn't crazy about the look. This could be a great compromise. I've watched some of your other steel roof videos and if I recall correctly, you usually like to put an air gap between the decking and the roofing material, but I don't see that here. Presumably because of how these panels are attached to the deck? Do you think the lack of an air gap would cause any issues in the Chicago area with a conditioned attic? Closed cell -> ZIP R -> (additional rigid foam?) -> Peel & Stick -> Steel

Although my neighborhood does not allow metal roofd, I think that this would pass because of the looks. If I was building again, I would use this!

Great content on metal roof subject. I would like to suggest a subject for video. Solar shingle roof options in new construction. Since there is a lot of interest in netzero homes.

Would there be a concern with galvanic action between the aluminum windows and steel wall siding which can lead to corrosion? If so , is there a way to deal with it?

Very nice looking. How does it compare to a 24 gauge, standing seam meal roof for commercial application in price and longevity for central Florida?

Well you've just solved my metal roof conundrum. I love the bullet proofness of a standing seam roof but I'm not enthused with how they look & haven't been blown away by the metal shingles I've seen in the past in our area. This looks like a great substitute.

Would have been nice to see the flashing detail, plus how do you replace a damaged shingle if it's in the middle of the roof? What's it painted with, and what are the specs of the warranty? I've put on many standing seam roofs and these are things to consider.

Love the look. I was quoted at $540 per square for material only. Standing seam metal with labor included was significantly less.

Hey Matt, what about under heavy rain or ice pellets would it be noisy on the inside of the house?

I love those metal shingles. Put them on my brothers house. The only downfall is that there is no way to install solar panel on them. There are a myriad of mounts for traditional metal roofs, but no approved mounts for textured shingles.

What is the system for valleys? Looks like a nice product.

I like the fall protection used on the build, simple but safe. I used metal roofing on my house at 140 lbs a square verse 600-900 lbs a square sure for asphalt shingles. You're parking an SUV on top of your house with asphalt shingles.

We used plastic slate and it came out great and our cell phones work!

Quick question weigh difference percentage of this product verses asphalt shingles.

Curious how to handle roof penetrations with this?

Can you put this on as siding as well?

Super cool for me here in Boston... Will check that out to replace my 100 yo slate

How do these steel shingles compare in price to traditional steel sheet roofing & are they solar panel compatible?

Will this work in the northeast with our weather and snow??

Matt, if I'm definitely replacing my roof (in the northeast), but intend to install solar panels thereafter, what roofing product would you use? Thanks!

Any sound proofing materials required? Loud in rainy climates?

@Matt Risinger, can you do a video on F-Wave shingles?

I’ve got a question with regard to tankless water heaters that you have made videos about prior. My house in Gulfport Mississippi is 1000 SF with a very old standard tank-type water heater. It would free up some space if I could replace with an outside tankless. I watched one video that stated that one can’t be installed under a roof. Well, I have 2’ eves on the side where I would want to install. Is there such a restriction in Texas where you are?

Would like to see how you flash the walls with this product

Got my father interested for the 1910 Winnituxit property

What happened to you have them run 1xs on a 45° angle for ventilation?

Would this would for shingle siding?

Nice looking roof! Can solar PV panels be added to this type of roof? How much does it add to the PV Installation on this type of metal roof as opposed to other roofs?

this roof still good for solar panels? the other steel roof you showed had rails to support solar

Blast from the past 🙂 You made a video about this product about 4 years ago called "Metal Roof Shingle Review"

I like it. Every time I watch a video and my wife hears the music she’s really another video lol?

How well do they work on a shallow pitch roof?

love the build and roof sealing. I want to like the product. The fire resistance is a big deal. I am glad that was mentioned, but was it the same as any metal roof, or was the comparison to asphalt shingles? Can you add solar mounts? leaks, special tools or tiles, etc.? How do you handle penetrations? Clearly they do, but it wasn't shown. If they do leak, where do you get the indicators so you can fix it? What is the sound profile like during rain/wind? (I have always wondered if certain metal patterns might have resonance issues). Too many questions? Sorry. Not being a downer. The devils in the details and I REALLY like the look, but have to be comfortable with function versus form.

Matt states that this roof will have a Class A fire rating. As I understand this system, it will only have that rating if you use a 1 hour rated underlayment. I am trying to figure out that underlayment that gives the A rating and does not "break the Bank".

Hey Matt, how do you flash around around a chimeny?

I prefer zero (0) lumber home. Concrete top down poured not blocks. Yep that includes roof.

Wonder if these would let you replace an HOA "required" slate/concrete tile roof. My roof needs 2-3 replacement tiles yearly and is 100k + to replace

Curious what they do to sound deaden the roof, for when there is Hail or Heavy Rain. I could hear the tin sound as Matt was sliding them together.

With the right house design that slate look shingle with concrete log siding from Everlog would be a perfect combination. Especially if the exterior walls were ICF. The only way they could REALLY be better is if they were also solar collectors LOL.

It's an easy install when you compared to standard shingles but it's exponentially harder than just doing a standard metal roof

I reached out to edco in 2018 after I saw them featured on your video and they had no dealers or installers in my state (Maryland). I reached out again in 2020 and they had a Mid-Atlantic business development manager but I still couldn't find any dealers or installers in Maryland. Sounds like a great product but it's not helpful if I can't get a quote to compare to other products and installers in my area.

Any grounding for lightning strikes needed?

If an existing house has 1/2" wafer board decking, will this metal roof nail to it sufficiently to keep the metal roofing from coming off in sever wind storms?

Do they have Canadian distributors? How well are they for snowfall and super cold temps. I really like this idea, so every hail storm we get can give a big FU to it. Love that insurance companies are giving breaks when you install this. Asphalt shingles are just waiting to be replaced

Matt, What is the process if one of these (or several) shingles is damage, say three or four rows from the bottom? It looks like it would be hard to repair without removing much of the roof.

Are metal roofs noisy? Do you have to put something under to reduce the rain noise?

It would be nice to know the price you would be looking at for this SQ footage.

Does anyone make plastic shingles using material like Aztec? Would seem to be another great durable option to asphalt

What is the gage of the metal shingle??! And what solar panel mount would you recommend with this metal shingle?!?

Would you use 1x4's to create a ventilation area under the shingles, just like on standing seam?

So would you recommend a steel shingle roof over an aluminum or a stone coated shingle over a painted metal?

How would one install solar panels? Will it still be warrantied?

Can you show how it will look if you staggered the metal roofing?

How do you get ventilation with this install? I know this is a monopoly framed home but you don’t have ventilation under the roof like your roof at your home. So how are you dealing with the heat transfer from the roof into the house?

What's the cost?

How’s the weight and cost of thee compareed to standing seam?
