my husband and brother want to install a metal roof and we can only afford to do it ourselves but I am worried it won't be done correctly-how hard is it to install a metal roof?

While I would like to tell you that you will ruin your roof and cause irreparable damage to your home to protect the pros in my industry, the facts are contrary to that. What is the skill set of husband and brother? If they have any construction background or talent, it is likely that they could do a good job of it. The biggest difference is usually experience and therefore speed of application. If they take their time and are careful, they can do a good job of it. Might be a good idea to contract with an installer to help them get the layout, get started, and be available for assistance if they get stuck.
