How did this system compare in price to the material and install cost of Duralast?


I was please to get an estimate on the Duralast that seemed very reasonable compared to some of the estimates I got for for EPDM.

I can't remember specifically, but I believe the price must have been similair, or I would not have looked into it. Definitely within a grand or two. Sorry I can't be more specific, but my head is spinning right now with all of the details I have to keep track of while building this house. It seems the minute a new piece of info comes in, another piece must leave in order for there to be room!

Hi David,


We are going to use crickets on our '56 turned modern renovation soon. The roof line will include a couple of parapet walls and a new "v" link where one cricket will be placed. Did you use it afterall and how did it work if you did?

We too are building a house with a butterfly roof.  We live outside of Seattle where there is plenty of rain.  At this point we are planning to go metal because we are concerned about links and have also designed a roof top deck and want it to look nice on top even though you wont see it from the road.  We'd lvoe to find something equally as rain resistant but have no experience with the other products i.e., EPDM and they don't seem to look as nice.  Any thoughts?
