Choose Southeastern Metals and Get Free Takeoff & Estimating Services

takeoffIn the metal roofing industry, few companies offer the expertise of Southeastern Metals™. That’s why so many contractors turn to us for take-off and estimating services. We have been generating takeoffs for contractors and suppliers for years. When you need help determining the products needed for your project, just send us your printed plans, digital plans, CAD drawings, a hand-drawn sketch or just about anything with a roof layout on it, and we will send you the applicable information promptly. Not all metal roofing companies offer this service free of charge.

We strive to make this process seamless so we can turn over the take-offs fast. When submitting your plans to SEMCO’s takeoff service, please follow the drawing criteria below.
