Could I get a few metal roof manufacturer suggestions? (so many and the prices are all over the place)  Also what did some of you pay for your roofs? (materials only).  Thanx for the help.

I bought my 26 gauge, K-Panel metal from KLH Metal.  My roof is 5:12 pitch and covers a 30x60 area.  With trim and screws total was right at $2200.  I installed it myself.

Their website is KLHMetal.com

Later I heard that Metal Mart in Little Rock might have had cheaper prices.

You can read about it in the blog, address below, posts #56 & 57.  Look in the archives to find those two posts.

I went with metal mart here in utah.  $500 for metal, drip eaves vent and screws.  10 X 18 roof on each side.  Great deal. ;)

$76 a square for galvalume.
$23 per 10ft ridge
$18 per pack of screws.

We've used Metal Mart three times so far. Still happy
Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.

I also got mine at KLH metal.... IIRC it was 2.89/ft for the 26g painted. I had checked metal mart, douglas metals, and another place I can't remember, but KLH was the cheapest. In my opinion the trim pieces are more expensive than they should be... 10.95/10' for drip edges, and rakes.... the regular foam closures are .89/ea but vented closures are something like 5.00/ea
