[QUOTE="donner, post: 1585137, member: 277"] i did a bunch of research recently when i had to get a new roof put on (we are still waiting for the contractor to get to us). Right now, with the cost of composites going up, we were quoted the same price for a metal roof as a asphalt shingle one here. Some of the benefits of the metal roof we have been told include slightly lower cooling costs (since the metal roof wont hold the heat in the same way a shingle roof will), longer lifespan (better resale value) and insurance breaks since it wont depreciate. My in-laws have one on their cabin and they have loved it so far. Just be careful when comparing estimates. The gauge of the metal varies from roofer to roofer and changes the price, which can make it difficult to compare. As does standing seam vs. exposed screw instillation. [/QUOTE]
