[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love metal roofs. They last a long time, rarely leak if constructed properly, and they keep your house cooler than other materials. They are popular in the west/southwest because of how they reflect (not absorb) heat. [/quote] "They last a long time" I've never seen one last longer then 15 years before needing major repairs and I live in a place where most the buildings have metal roofs. "rarely leak if constructed properly," They leak after about 5 to 10 years, especially if you don't keep up with the maintenance on them. "and they keep your house cooler than other materials" They really don't. I've lived in both and the house with the metal roof was the hardest house I've ever had to cool, my old 1900 stucco with single pained windows from the 1920's and no insulation was easier to keep cool then the more modern house with a metal roof that my grandparents lived in.
