But they wanted to keep the old farmhouse look and use a material that wouldn't look too sophisticated or slick. ![finished steel panels | Metal Roof Network](https://www.metalroofnet.com/hs-fs/file-16172738-jpg/images/finishedsteelsmall.jpg)** What the homeowner choose was our [value panel in finished steel](https://www.metalroofnet.com/finished-steel/panels/). **Our value panel has many of the features of our better standing seam panels, but costs a lot less money.** It's still very corrosion resistant Zincalume steel with and excellent color finish, but it doesn't have the intricate profile and details of the higher-end products. This "low tech" look was exactly what the client wanted - something that looked appropriate to an old, sleepy farmhouse. It's a project that pleases the homeowner (who immediately freshened up the whole house with a new coat of paint), the contractor - and us - no end. **What a huge upgrade over the old wood shakes, and what an economical way to take advantage of the benefits of metal roofing.** It's inexpensive metal roofing at its finest, and it's truly transformed this lovely California home. **Our value metal roofs aren't limited to panels either - we've got beautiful tiles and shakes for a steal!** Interested in finding out just what a metal roof system will cost on your home?
