I am a general contractor and I have a customer who would like metal wall and roof siding installed. They would like the vertical wall siding to make a seamless transition to the roof level and look like the house is wrapped. Similar to this house http://www.houzz.com/photos/67765/East-Hampton-House-contemporary-exterior-new-york. Has anyone done this before? Trying to figure out if the vertical ridges of the sheet are cut and capped after bending or if this is really two sheets with some other method of blending the transition. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

On that website it says the verticals are cut, the metal bent and then curved caps put over the vertical seams. Looks to me like it has the potential to "tin-can" badly.
That is standing seam T panels. 12 wide with seam covers instead of mechanical seams. It can be bent like that, no problem. We just did over 800 square with that same fascia detail. Be sure to caulk the seams at the bend or it will leak like a sieve.
Also, your ice and water shield must be detailed perfectly, this is a water resistant system, not water proof.
