What is the percentage cost difference to go from standard finish to Kynar 500. Is the basic finish galvanized? if not what is the cost difference to upgrade from non galvanized factory finish SMP to Kynar 500 galvanized

Thanks for your interest in metal roofing. I am so sorry but there is no way to estimate this percentage because, as a percentage, everything else comes into play including the complexity of the roof, the pitch, the size, etc. Most contractors will be able to quote options for you and that is the only way to know, with accuracy, what the cost will be.

Thanks Todd, maybe I need to ask differently. If everything else is held equal, and the only thing that changes is to go from a basic SMP to a Kynar 500 finish; what is that upgrade cost? as a percentage or dollar amount or by what ever metric is best. My opinion is $0.48 / s.f. surface, based on comparison of two equal estimates save the finish. I am just looking for a order of magnitude range. Is it 10x more, 2x more .5 x more? I know many other factor come into play but as a start, what is that number?
