    In fact the insurance company already cut my payment.

      I don't blame you. I am finishing up my screened porch and it's a 12/12. Hopefully the last metal roof I ever do.

        It doesn't look like they screwed the lead flashing down which should make the lead flashing easier to remove. Hopefully they used clear silicone under the lead and it won't show up too bad when you remove it.
        This.


        Here is how you will want someone to do it:

          I have a metal roof exactly like yours and the same color…. Our contractor ran any vents out the side of the house about 2 ft under the eaves… Our roof is completely smooth or no vents that is…

            Thats it!

            I would have a roofer do every roof penetration just like this before they got down

              Perhaps I was not clear in my first post:

              I bet Chuy will surprise you!

                Thank you everyone who recommended DekTite flashing. That is the way to go and perhaps that was not available 11 years ago when it was built. Mountaineer - I watched that video and honestly I was blown away by his Cougar Paws. Enough so that I'm going to go to a local dealer and take a look at them. If they work well, I might get the courage to climb up there myself! With a safety rope of course.

                  Cougar Paws won't help on a 12/12 metal roof! Make dang sure it's dry!

                    Thanks, Slew. I needed a knock of common sense.

                      Don’t even think about it. The roof in that video is not very steep. Hire a pro to do it on a 12/12. Steeper metal roofs are slick when wet and slick when dry with dust on them.

                      I’m on steep shingled roofs almost every day and I still don’t like getting on low sloped metal.

                        Ok.

                        I'll ask my Mueller contractor if he can switch these all out to the DekTite

                            Thanks, my husband likes Jay McDonald JMD Roofing out of CS. He's a certified Mueller installer and he's worked on our roof in the past. He has already looked at the photos and said, "Piece of cake!" and sent me an estimate. He will be out next week to replace all of them.
