SBIN: The major plant for the ABC company is in Indianapolis, IN , so not that bad as far as tech questions or availability. There must be a distributor near you -- stay away from Home depot and Lowes... same product but much more expensive and not very knowledgeable people for the product and trim. Everything still comes from ABC people and that means waiting for odds and ends, wrong sizes shipped, poor color co-ordination(s), higher shipping fees/delivery costs, and just a outright hassle to do business with. Find your local ABC place and go with it ! Abc offers different styles as well as many colors to choose from... the most common is what is called the Imperial rib design, easiest to install and as leak proof as you can get...other designs (monarch to mention just one) can be harder to install and require little room for forgiveness's whereas Imperial is pretty much straight forward repetative installation. In your neck of the woods there just has to be an ABC place or places to choose from... if it were me, I would not pay more than $2 a running foot -- you can even buy seconds, blemish's or cover sheets for a lot less if you ask; however, there are some limitations given those choices. Use screws designed with sealing washers, don't overtighten (set your clutch on # 3 to start with and adjust accordingly) and use 1" long for the regular flat work and longer as needed for the trim and ridge work.. if you make a mistake and need to cover the hole ask the dealer for some "stich" screws and tighten them carefully but not too much and to be sure of it cover the stiching screws with some GOOD silicone if you need/want extra durability. Those screws may not be available in the same color as your work though -- make do as you need, ect. If you can't find an ABC dealer near you go online Punch in ABC roofing , ect, for a search and get there toll free number and take it from there... Ask the dealer for a installation sheet it will make your work professional and much easier going -- JIM
