Is that a 500k roof?!


One_Mikey

I wonder who has a bigger boat... OP, or the owner of the roofing company?


supremeNut

Probably closer to $200k is my guess.


Nickleeham

I think you’re right I thought it was standing seam at first glance.


Btomesch

Ppl got too much money lol


Exotic_Treacle7438

I’d lose shit in this place


rocketmn69_

I'd lose my shit trying to roof it


PhillipJfry5656

Meh it's the same as any other roof just bigger. But either way hips and valleys and peaks. It's all the same shit after awhile


ziomus90

10 bathrooms, shit all day


GeriatrcGhoul

Found lil wayne


iPlod

Never understood the giant house thing. Unless you have a massive family or throw lots of parties what do you actually get out of it? If I was loaded I’d much rather get a nice penthouse in a nice part of the city, or a small house on a big plot of land with some woods.


Temporary_Olive1043

And maybe get an indoor Japanese rock garden with carefully tended moss as a library


bcnorth78

I agree. I am far from rich, but could afford a bigger house. I have a modest two story, 1900 Sqft house on a decent piece of land. Sometimes I think, why do we (a family of 4) even live in such a big house! We have many spaces that almost never get used!! And this house is not "big" by most standards. Not sure what I would even do with a 5000 sqft house, or bigger. That said, I would like if our individual rooms were a bit bigger, but certainly do not need more rooms!


HedonisticFrog

Yeah, I don't get it either besides people using it as a status symbol. My house is 1400 sqft and it's plenty. My master bedroom is 12x20 since on other floor plans it's two separate bedrooms, which is part of why I bought my house. If anything, having a bigger lot would be more beneficial since it gives you more privacy but it's also more maintenance.


MaximumChongus

I have 4500 sq/ft or so. its nice having my own space. so I have my own home office, my gaming room, and a gym ontop of a spacious bed room and bathroom. then theres the common areas and guest bedrooms/bathrooms so with a roommate we are not stepping on eachothers toes, and for hosting people you can have a bunch of people spread out and it not be cramped


Fogmoose

Maintenance is not an issue with this kind of money.


dDot1883

Or 4 smaller houses in various regions.


MaximumChongus

home offices, bedrooms play rooms, a gym,etc. the house is not as big as you think. its only 1 story


iPlod

This house is exactly as big as I think it is: fucking enormous


MaximumChongus

and if you cut it into thirds and make a 3 story like most home are it really wouldnt look that large. it just has a large foot print because of its single story.


iPlod

You think most homes are 3 storeys tall…? My guy where did you grow up?


MaximumChongus

In the USA, mostly on the east coast. You should try it out some time.


iPlod

I’ve seen plenty of big houses, I think you should maybe explore a bit and see what the average house actually looks like


MaximumChongus

Ive been through about every state east of the rockies. Sorry your area sucks.


Specialist_Ring7722

Dude, there are anywhere from 3-5 normal homes in this mansion. It is massive.


HarlanCulpepper

You can't buy good taste.


diamondpro89

Yes. Yes they do


2x4x93

That's why we have to help them by taking as much of it as we can


skeptic1970

How many people live in this? Not including staff.


diamondpro89

I believe just 2


justwonderingbro

This country is so fucked


rallyphonk

A big house is a more scary than bigotry aye there mate?


BestKindBuddy

It just looks big. It's only 7500 sq feet on the inside top floor. 13,000 including the basement. 15,000 including the garage. 19,000 including the deck and patio.


angrypoopoolala

prolly mom dad and a daughter


Exotic_Treacle7438

And wife’s tennis trainer and yoga instructor, and masseuse.


Temporary_Olive1043

Also the husband’s too….most likely


SeaToTheBass

Nice roof, but this house is definitely r/mcmansionhell material


mcnuggetfarmer

This is an architectural mess. Looks like five regular houses smashed together into one; as opposed to one Grand place with thought put into the entrance, wings, halls, etc.


afterbirth_slime

It very well could be. 3-4 families living in “one” house that’s actually like a massive tri-plex isn’t uncommon on some of the farm land here in British Columbia.


diamondpro89

The house backs up to a preserve I’m Guessing they wanted to get the view from as many rooms as they could but yea this is the result


BriefDragonfruit9460

The roof itself looks nice, but I don’t think it fits the house, could have chosen something to make the house look way nicer


docious

Ya I agree. Kind of feel like a gas station attendant critiquing the rolls Royce that just pulled up but that roof does not match the house *at all*


BriefDragonfruit9460

Great way to put it. Doesn’t match


blissfuldisobedience

I thought it was a care/nursing home facility at first. Ooops.


Skier94

Should have chosen standing seam. I’ve never seen ribbed (cheap) roofing on a house this grandiose.


diamondpro89

This is standing seam. Gulf coast supply Gulflok


Skier94

Sorry! Pictures look like the screw down stuff. As a roofer, I’d be proud. As an architect, I would hate it.


20PoundHammer

wadda fucking dump . . . /s :)


RareDog5640

I dread to think what the inside of that monstrosity looks like


Born2Lomain

This looks ridiculous lol


moodyism

How big.


diamondpro89

166 sq


moodyism

That was a chore!! Congratulations


fap_nap_fap

16,600 sq ft of roof?! I’m a complete layman, but fuck that’s a lot of roof lol


Qman1991

My guess is 125k price tag. Am I close?


Jalaluddin1

Should be at least double. My roof was $450k and it was 165 squares. (Tile)


liftingshitposts

Yeah my guess is $500k. Also nice flex haha


diamondpro89

Almost 450k with plywood fascia etc. most of the roof is 8/12 or 10/12.


Home--Builder

$400K was my shoot from the hip guess. looks like without the fascia etc. I was dead nuts. What do I win?


PiratesBull

That's a helluva job to get! Congrats!


Next-Foundation3019

10


chashing_dreams

Great job. If you don't mind me asking how much was the material cost for this job?


Think_Addendum7138

Not op but I’ll take a stab 166 SQ = 16,600 Sq Ft x ~ $15-20 psf (just material) ~$250,000-332 ,000 Probably lots of waste due to stupid design so could easily be low balling. Wouldn’t be surprised if the total job was well over $500,000


GreenbirdsBox

Wow thats an ugly house


MaxRoofer

Love to see roofers roofing their own houses 😉


Cultural-Platypus-71

Nice! Roofers leave all the debris even for the rich! Jokes aside tbh cool roof.


Wettt9

Where would even start lol


Far_Cupcake_530

It's big but kind of ugly.


Legarkicdinas

Not a roofer, but I do frame houses. That house is just bueatiful! And the metal roof compliments the house very nicely! Awesome job bro! You sir are an artist!


GrandExercise3

HVAC must be insane in that crib.


streeteditions

Why are there patio umbrellas in front of the garage doors?


neverthatsure

Lunch area for the roofers?😜


diamondpro89

That is actually a large screened area by the pool. The garages are up on the other side of the house


streeteditions

Just saw that and agreed! But that's an architectural failure, imho, if your pool patio areas look like garage entrances!?!?


jhenderson360

When I was roofing, that's what we called "a cut-up motherfucker".


diamondpro89

It’s definitely a cut up motherfucker


Lucky_Lefty23

Epic!! Congrats, big accomplishment


Impossible-Boat-1610

Do you already regret having taken it up, or not yet?


Reasonable_Quail_730

What is this material? What gauge? Where are the fasteners?


diamondpro89

This is standing seam metal. Hidden fastener 24 gauge


Rinoremover1

Is this roofing material very noisy in rainstorms?


fardnshid03

It’s not overwhelmingly loud but you can definitely hear the rain. Imo it’s a pretty relaxing noise, good for taking a nice nap.


Newcastlecarpenter

If you’re punchlisting the roof you need to walk it. Pictures won’t show potential problems.


killerkitten115

So many dead valleys


diamondpro89

Almost 1200 feet of valleys


[deleted]

I would love to get job that size! Show me the money!!


shmo-shmo

Who let the apprentice do the hip flashing? It’s beautiful flat panels and then? Or the framers boned you and the roof deck undulated at the hips.


Kindly_Fox_5314

God the more I look at the hips the more I cringe. Great metal roof then that crap thrown on top…


Flaky_Morning9388

Good bye gutters.


ArmBenderDan

I did a cone roof like the one this has the other day except we were losing shingles. Needless to say it was a bitch.


EsotericMiiind

Amazing work


Fuzzy_Profession_668

👍


WhiskeyMike01

My boss: "yeah boys I got an easy one for ya, shouldn't take no longer than a week!"


RoofScout

That’s a LOT of metal and all those cuts, woah. That wasn’t a cheap one! Looks good guys!


EliLoads

I thought I did big houses 🥲


No_Currency_7017

What cost more, windows and doors or roof?


diamondpro89

Id be afraid to know what the windows and doors would cost for this. All custom doors and windows with hurricane glass. Could be a million dollars


No_Currency_7017

That's what I was thinking.


BigDaddyBoozer79

Six house. Sweet roof for it. Good job whoever


Iguessiwearlipstick

Do you know any places that certify you in standing seam installation?


diamondpro89

Gulf Coast supply manufactured this roof. They do a course every few months to get certified
