What is metal roof gauging?

• <div><p>When choosing a metal roof, consider not only the area of the roof but also the thickness of the panel, known as the gauge. Common <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/metal-roofing-gauges.htm">roofing gauge sizes</a> for metal roofs are 24-gauge and 26-gauge. The smaller the gauge size, the thicker the roof. Usually, a thicker gauge is ideal if your house is in an area that sees a lot of rain, snow, or hail, as it will be less likely to dent.</p></div>

I was surprised that he was able to do it by himself and he did a pretty professional job. He cleaned up after himself. I wanted a little ledge on the inside of the window and he fabricated me a little bit of a ledge on the front of the window. He listens and tries to do what you want if he can.
