Photos submitted/Reed’s Metals of Brookhaven held a three-day roofing seminar to educate contractors and employees from across the southeast on the water-tight roofing system called “standing seam.” Installation of this type of roof system is labor intensive, but worth the extra effort as roof leaks are headaches in terms of time and money.
