The 3-year old house we bought last Jan. has a Fabral Grandrib3 screwed-on steel roof. I realize now it is inferior to a seamed steel roof, but what can I expect for service life?
Also, as I recall, a person at the manufacturer suggested the screws be tightened every couple of years! What??
Just one more... how do I check for condition of the roof re: leakage? Look under the roof deck for stains? It plywood, and I imagine any water would run down until it came to a seam.
I would have gotten a better roof if I had built the house.
Thanks for any help.

As long as it was installed properly, you have a good roof that should last 20+ years easily. Is it the "Cadillac" of metal roofing? Probably not but it's still a very good product and Fabral is a great industry leader.
I would not anticipate leaks but they would appear as inside staining or leaks in the overhangs.
As far as the screws ... I would not anticipate any need for tightening but, sure, take a look at them once every couple of years.
