All of the components are of the highest quality, so as a whole they can last you a lifetime. Once you commit to purchasing a standing seam roof we strongly recommend avoiding a 26 or lighter gauge or an SMP paint system.

In fact, there aren’t a lot of variables or options when you price standing seam roofing panels.
