Probably NEXT year I'll be putting a new roof on my home. The current roof is asphalt shingles, 1 layer. Its right at 16 years old and the original roof. Parts of it are in very good shape, but there are parts, like over my front porch, where there is a wall that reflects sun/heat onto part of the roof, where the shingles are bubbling from heat, curling a bit on the corners, etc. These are "25" year shingles, which means that any pro-rated warranty is pretty much gone after 15 years.
So I'm thinking about one of the metal roofs. Not sure about them, but I'd like to learn more. I sort of like the look but I do have reservations.
Anyone have a steel roof on their home?
Any downsides? Any advantages? I know they are a bit more expensive, but they are also supposed to be good for roughly 50 years so I'd never replace the roof again if I do this.
Thoughts?
