Key Features
- Search by panel brand, profile, color, and roof type
- Cross-reference trim names across suppliers (Menards, Home Depot, ABC Supply, etc.)
- Show product images and installation diagrams
- Link to online purchase or map local stockists
Target Users: DIY homeowners and small contractors building or repairing standing seam / metal roofs in the US
Revenue Model: Freemium: free search; $4.99/month Pro for detailed diagrams, inventory alerts, and supplier comparisons
