Metal roofs can cause RFI issues

Living in a dense forest where dozens of neighbors have lost homes from wildfires, we recently had a metal roof installed. With first use of SO2R, I experienced significant IMD, degrading second radio operation. The interlocking panels that make up the roof are painted. The obvious solution is bonding them top and bottom, which might have been practical with initial installation had I thought to have it written into the contract.
