Steel roofing is one of the best choices that metal roofing has to offer. I say this because galvanized steel is strong, yet flexible and it allows a lot of spraying and coloring techniques which can make it resemble just about any classic roof that you can imagine.

As with all metal roofs steel roofing is prone to major thermal contractions and expansions. This is why metal roofs have a rather different philosophy than classic tile roofs. These are roofs that are meant and allowed to move. On the other hand the flashing work is also subjected to the same restrictions, so installing them on a metal roof is considerably easier. As a side note I recommend that you use for flashing the exact same materials as on the roof itself. This can prevent many problems relating to different expansion ratios.

Installing steel roofs is also a breeze although I wouldn't exactly recommend to the DYI community. As a matter of fact steel is a pretty dangerous material to work with. After it has been resized those edges can cut like a knife through butter. Protective gloves are a must and you should always take care. The installation process is rather simple, but I advise you to take it slow to avoid any accidents.
