Overview of Presentation: Commercial re-roof projects often run into the need to replace structural metal deck beneath the roof system. The details may be unknown until the roof is actually torn off and then the job is on hold until this is resolved. Many of these decks are older with obsolete profiles. The course explains how to identify, match, quote and install metal deck. All roofers would agree that an open roof is not the best time for a crash course on metal deck. This presentation provides the tools roofers need…before they need them.
