Just to clarify, you realize 29 gauge is thinner than 26 gauge? What gauge was your first quote?

Is this over a solid deck or skip sheathing?
I prefer 26 gauge either way but wouldn't install 29 gauge over skip sheathing. Standing seam or ribbed panels? |

I would get 26 gauge standing seam. Rib is easier to put in and thus should be cheaper. However, I think standing seam makes less noise inside during a heavy rain storm.

Going over 1/2 plywood. Which do you think us better: standing seam, or ribbed? Quote HistoryQuoted:

26 Gauge.
Just firm enough yet easy to work with. 29 would be too flimsy. |

26. Dents are forever.
And though 29 may seem like it'd be easier to work with, it's also easier to bend a sheet when moving it around, lifting long-ish sheets up on the roof, etc. Doesn't take too many bent sheets to make up the price difference between the gauges. |

I'm not a roofer but I just had a 40 square standing seam roof done on my new house last year. You do NOT want exposed screws, unless you want to replace every screw every 5 years and hope you don't miss one. The neoprene washers will eventually leak. 26 gauge is more dent resistant (hail), and a striated panel will be less likely to oil can. Kynar finish to top it off and that roof is done for 100 years.
