It's a good question. And as it happens, **this is the second post in a row in which we share photos of completed projects that our customers installed themselves.** It's evidence that you can indeed install metal roofing yourself! ## DIY Metal RoofING Many of our metal roofing products are quite friendly to “Do It Yourselfers.”  Keeping in mind that being up on a roof is always risky - certainly riskier than a lot of home handyman projects - and that anyone considering replacing their own roof should be familiar with all recommended safety cautions and procedures, **the actual technical skills required to install a metal roof are identical to those learned by beginning sheet metal worker.** Add in basic roofing principles, and you’re fully qualified for most average residential roofs.   ![MRN Energy Star Shingle Alum Copper Penny 11](https://www.metalroofnet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MRN%20Energy%20Star%20Shingle%20Alum%20Copper%20Penny%2011.jpg?width=450&name=MRN%20Energy%20Star%20Shingle%20Alum%20Copper%20Penny%2011.jpg)**The job pictured here was done by a son for his mother** and they choose our very lightweight aluminum shingle in a bright “Copper Penny Metallic” finish that will look like a new copper penny for many, many years to come.   When asked about the experience,** the customer reported that it was even easier than they anticipated and told us they actually enjoyed the process.** They were very proud to show off the finished roof, and I don't blame them!  I know it’s easy for us to say that metal roofs are not a complex undertaking, but hearing this customer feedback just reinforces our prejudice.   We always delight in seeing the pics of our customers’ jobs, and** it’s especially rewarding to hear that even the installation process was an enjoyable endeavor!**   If you'd like to learn more about DIY metal roofing, [contact us](https://www.metalroofnet.com/contact) today.
