We have a metal roof, it's nice, you don't have to worry about stuff like shingles or the wood rotting. And we got the roof replaced when when that was happening on both parts of the house. But it's black tho, I'd rather the copper.
How much more did it cost than shingles?
I'm looking at rooves now. Cheapest metal roof was 18k, standing seam was 30k, highest end traditional shingle was 11k. 1200sqft
I don't think I'll be here long enough to make it worth it but I really like the idea. Only concern was being under some old trees that have been dropping dead limbs which might dent the roof
What was the joining mechanism for the cheaper metal roof? And was it painted steel? I think painted steel can look very handsome but my heart cries out for COPPER.
Good question I'd have to ask my dad but I want to say it was the cheaper alternative.

A whole ass Metal roof is cheaper than a shingle job? That is insane to me lmao
