I put metal shingles on my roof a while back, 16K. 30 year shingles were 9k, I'm happy to have a very nice roof with a 50 year warrenty on it.
I had Metro shingles put one, special ordered white ones to cut down on the heat in the summer. lowered the electric bill some, and it's dead quiet because the shingles are not in contact with the decking except at top and bottom. They screw down on the top and hook at the bottom. Put new chimney caps on at the same time, and re-laid the loose brick on the main chimney. Other than cleaning one valley of leaves once in a while, I will never have to get on the roof again. Put new gutters on at the same time, had some repairs needed and the guards the contractor liked wouldn't fit with the strap hangers on the old gutters, so when he said it was $300 more to put on new gutters and downspouts I jumped. May or may not suit your needs, and standing seam is also 50 year, doesn't look as nice. I don't really care, I just want a maintenance free long life roof. Someone else can deal with it 20 years after I'm dead. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
