To the best of my knowledge the three major advantages of a steel roof are:
durability, 50 years or more. Colour choices snow slides off much more easily. One disadvantage is that they tend to be noisy in a heavy rain storm and doubtless in a hail storm. I don't know but I hear, when high wind storms and tornados go through loads of sheet steel seems to fly about. It comes from somewhere but maybe not roofing. Of course shingles fly about as well. Steel roofs are very unforgiving of construction which isn't really very true and accurate, this much I know from assisting in putting one up. That is probably the sum total of my knowledge for what it is worth. The longevity and the appearance could beneficially effect curb appeal and consequently the sale value of the property. That might be another good reason. Hope this is of some use. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Doucet To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2008 7:58 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] mettle verses shingle roof Hi, I am considering geting a mettle roof put on my house. I mentioned this to a friend the other day and he asked me if I am planning to live 50 more years. I would like to get your input and logic on one choice over the other if one probably will not live 50 more years. Thanks. Thanks.
