[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2755094, member: 26737"] My parents put a metal roof on the farmhouse when they bought it a few years ago. The insurance company required a new roof, but I don't recall why they went with metal. My dad had experience with metal from when he and I built the pole barn on what is now my place; that was in '89, and the metal still looks like new, even after hailstorms and near-misses by tornadoes. They've seen a few hailstorms on their house's metal roof and on the metal workshop, and there are no noticeable dents on either. My dad used metal from Steelco in Paoli. I'm not sure if it was a kit or if he just calculated the materials, but they had everything needed, including the sheetmetal panels, the ridge caps, the butyl tape to seal between the panels, the pre-cut foam to fill the gaps between the caps and panels, and the color-matched screws to hold everything together.
