This Standing Seam Tool Saves Roofers Time and Money

For a roofing contractor, time is money, in a very real sense. None more so than when installing standing seam roofing systems. The longer it takes your team to notch, cut, hem and install standing seam panels, the more the job costs, and the more you must charge your customers to maintain your profit margins.

Enter the SnapTable PRO, an all-in-one, towable standing seam tool that include a panel cutter, notching tool, and hemming tool. This metal panel preparation tool saves roofers both time and money by letting them prepare and cut metal roofing panels in a fraction of the time it takes to do it manually with snips, hand seamers, pliers, and other hand tools — and with fewer workers. Let’s explore some of the ways your company can save using this metal roofing tool.

Creates Consistent Factory-Grade Panels in Seconds, Not Minutes

The process of notching, cutting and hemming standing seam panels is time-consuming when performed manually. The SnapTable PRO streamlines the entire process with remarkable speed and precision, giving you consistently perfect panels in seconds. The less time you spend on prepping panels, the sooner you can move to the installation stage, shortening the overall time spent on the job site.

Helps Reduce Panel Installation Times

When creating standing seam panels manually, even the most skilled roofers face human limitations when it comes to precision. Manually prepped metal roof panels often have imperfections, inconsistencies and rough spots, and the roofers may have to make adjustments in real time during installation. With the SnapTable PRO, each panel is cut and hemmed perfectly to your precise specifications, making installation a breeze and further cutting down on labor costs.

Fewer Labor Hours Required

The conventional method of roofing panel preparation is labor-intensive, typically requiring you to hire a team of skilled laborers. The SnapTable PRO is designed for one-person operation, combining the tasks of notching, cutting and hemming into one user-friendly workstation with minimal physical exertion. As a result, one worker can now do what it once took 3-4 people to do — and do it in less time.

Combined Results: Substantial Savings in Time and Money

When you take into account the reduced amount of time it takes to prepare your metal roof panels, the time saved in installation and the need to hire fewer workers per job, most metal roofing contractors report that using the SnapTable PRO reduces overall time at the job site by 30-40 percent. That can add up to substantial savings in labor costs, allowing you to bid jobs more competitively and pass those savings to your customers.
