Aluminum Recovery Technicians Chat Thread

There are SO many grades and types that it would be hard to say., Typically about 2.5 times. But you can spend a LOT more without trying! Standing seam, 5v, Varying thickness, varying coatings, And various metals. 12 years ago I had a customer ask about a copper standing seam, and I got a quote of 650/square!  That was way too much for my customer, a good thing too because he might have come home and found his roof gone recently! Although there are a lot of cheaper types out there.
 
    I installed 44 squares of aluminum standing seam 3 years ago and the materials cost $25,000! That is over 550$/square in materials! If the roof is anything more than a straight run it will easily be more than 100/sq labor.

    Nice roof , not flammable though!
   Guess it is all in your expectations!
