Metal has grown in Chatsworth for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener.
Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Chatsworth contract, not assumed. In practice, written scope, itemised price and a itemised warranty are the minimum on any Chatsworth job. Beware the Chatsworth quote that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition.
