i'd do metal sheet roof in a heartbeat, lasts 3x ? a shingle roof in my experience with family homes that have them . Labour costs in the future will never go down , or product costs , and at end of life you sell it for scrap metal instead of 2k in disposal fees.
We had ours done almost exactly five years ago. $17,351.02 all in. 'Not much more than a decent, hand nailed quality regular shingle job.
50 year warranty, for what it's worth.
One year after installation a window contractor accidentally damaged a small section of the roof...
I called the company that installed the steel and they came by and replaced the damaged portion for $200.
Yes, you gotta know what you're doing if you go up onto your roof, but... In 29 years I've never had to go up there nor do I ever plan to.
I'll call a roofer.
I chose to go with steel for the third roof I've had to put on this house because I like the "look" of it and I figured it was less likely to be replaced for the remainder of my lifetime at least.
Our roof is still in very good shape. We have a wicked slope which helps the roofing shingles last. The last time we replaced the roof was in 2011 and as I did last time, I would like to get ahead of it. The original roof was on the home for 23 years and still had life. We opted for a much higher quality shingle at the time of replacement and I do not think anyone could tell that it is 15 years old.
I am considering a metal roof. Anyone on here pull that trigger and have any advice?
I use metal on every Reno I do now, about 3 roofs a year. Materials are about the same cost, labour is a lot less if you DIY (my guys are about 3x faster doing a metal roof, so we save a lot).
I have roofs going on 30years with no repairs. I do screws, I’d imagine standing seams would outlast anyone reading this discussion.
One caveat, I have had issues with eaves troughs getting ripped off by sliding snow.
