Installation mistake | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 9/9/2013	Hello, this past weekend we installed a exposed fastener metal roof on my garage. Everything went smooth during the installation. However now that we are 100% finished I have come to the sad realization that we did not overlap the panels correctly. Be honest what can I expect from this roofing job and is there anything I can do to correct my issues. This is a picture I found online that best represents how we installed the panels and where we placed the screws.

John Willingham 7/15/2016	Ohh that's really sad! Is your roof leaking if yes, then you might have to uninstall and fix the roof again properly. If you are not facing any problem, then let it be like that only. From the picture I am not able to find out the problem clearly.
