I've always been a "Roof" fanatic. To me the roof design and material are as important to a house as hair is to humans.

Metal roofs have always held a soft spot in my heart but,here is something I never even thought of from "the newsteel.org" website. (http://www.thenewsteel.org/roofing/index.htm)

Environmental Benefits of Metal Roofing:

1. Environmentally friendly process of steel making and coating.

2. Steel is 100 percent recyclable so yesterday's scrapped car can become today's metal roof. And that could one day become a refrigerator.

3. A new steel roof can be placed over an existing roof. That conserves valuable landfill space by eliminating the need to dispose of the existing roof. (Roof tear-offs represent more than 5 percent of what is being dumped in landfills today.) And this saves labor time and costs for the homeowner.

Wow, you really do learn something everyday!

Remember: By being the General Contractor (GC), determining building costs & hiring professionals (subcontractors) to do the actual work (Thats what a GC does), YOU can be your own General Contractor for ANY type of construction: New homebuilding to build your "Dream House"), room additions, remodeling older homes; Build log homes, kit homes, even renovate foreclosures. Since you are the "Boss," YOU can chose your own house plans or home plans, YOU can design your kitchen, YOU can decide to build "Green," build with Solar, Wind, geothermal heat pumps, or anything else YOU desire, and YOU can do it for a lot LESS!
