Just doing the research and not ready to purchase yet? No problem, we like making new friends and your quote is good for 30 days.
Can I order my panels online?
Unfortunately, no. I'm right there with you, if I can order my pizza online and not talk to someone, then you have a customer for life! Computers are awesome and we love the convenience they provide, but some things are better done with a live conversation so we do not provide online ordering. You can't stretch metal so you want your order cut right the first time!
We do, however, take online quote requests that will at least give you an idea of your project cost. Visit the "GET STARTED" page to request a quote or visit us in person, grab a cup of coffee with us and we'll get your entire roofing package put together.
Are you open on Saturdays?
Yes, the Plant City location is open on Saturdays and we are the only Metal Roofing Manufacturer open on Saturdays in our area. Come see us between 8 am and 2 pm any Saturday!
The Webster location is not open on Saturdays.

What lengths do your panels come in?

How should I be prepared to pick up my panels?
Florida statute states that no load shall extend beyond 4 feet of the taillights on any vehicle or trailer. As an example, if you have ordered 22 ft long panels, you must have a vehicle or trailer that will accommodate at least 18 ft of your panels, which would ensure only 4 ft would extend beyond the taillights.
Our staff is happy to load any orders that comply with the above statute.
WE WILL NOT LOAD (NOR ALLOW YOU TO LOAD) ANY PANELS THAT EXTEND BEYOND 4 FT FROM THE TAILLIGHTS OF ANY VEHICLE OR TRAILER - PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY AND PLEASE DO NOT GET UPSET WITH US IF YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LOAD OR LEAVE WITH YOUR ORDER.
Trust us, we've heard it all:
Cousin wouldn't let you barrow their trailer? Sorry
Just going 1/2 mile down the road? Sorry
But it's just a country road? Sorry
You'll take the responsibility if you are pulled over or cause an accident? Sorry
The law does not allow us to make exceptions to this policy - please plan accordingly.
How fast can you turn an order around?
We can usually turn your order around within 24 hours depending on how fast you approve your order and make the payment. Sometimes if it's a small order we can usually make it the same day.
Once your order has been made, we request that you pick it up within 5 business days. Orders left more than 15 days will be charged a storage fee.
What is your return policy?
Unfortunately, we can not take any custom cut panels or trim back. Your project is unique and unfortunately, we are not equipped to find a buyer needing your exact measurements in the color you selected. We will try our best to accommodate you for standard accessory items that are not opened, in re-sellable condition, and do not have adhesive on them. We kindly request that all returns be made within 72 hours of leaving the property to help us better serve your refund.
How do I pay for my order?
We accept cash, checks and credit cards in person or we can send you a payment link for credit cards via text or email. Due to recent increase in credit card fraud, we cannot accept any credit card numbers read to us over the phone.
When do I need to pay?
All orders must be paid in full before orders are manufactured. Unfortunately, once we cut your custom lengths, it is highly unlikely we will find another buyer for your custom lengths in the color you've selected so we would be out the cost of the material and labor if orders are not picked up.
