C-CAP’s Standing Seam Roof Estimating System does metal roof  take-offs and estimates the cost of materials needed to install a new standing  seam metal roof. These estimates are done using the latest technology from  drawings supplied by the roofing contractor, (Auto CAD format is preferred but  not necessary), using the architect’s specifications for the job. The estimate  comes with a breakdown of all the materials needed to install a new standing  seam roof, including panel lengths, accessories, flat sheets for brake metal,  freight, crate, engineered drawings if needed (additional cost) and shop  drawings if needed. These standing seam roof systems are designed to go over a  solid substrate and can qualify for a Firestone Red Shield 20-year warranty.
