Metal roofs can be cool. Did you get a ballpark of cost differential?

His new advanced metal roof wasn't the kind that I've seen installed lately, as it used individual metal shingles. It took them 2 weeks to finish and they seemed to have quite a bit of difficulty with the valleys and transitions, though I gather it has held up well. Like all metal roofs, whenever it snows it produces avalanches off the roof because snow doesn't stick to it, so there is a lot more snow clearing to do because of that.

Nothing to do about it now, but I suppose when the time comes to sell it we can use the new roof as a selling point.

Just some quick research online says metal roofs cost about 3X as much. They start at around $10 a sq ft and can go to $50 or more for fancy stuff. Our one story is 2400 sq ft but the roof is probably about 3500 to 4000 sq ft because of all the peaks. Then there are probably fees to get rid of the old roof.
It sounds like an asphalt roof that is 3500 to 4000 sq ft will cost about $11000 to $15000 in Ontario Canada. I think our roof will last at least another year, the lifting is just on one side...I guess the wind lifts the shingles out of position.
I don't have anything done by guys coming around. Those are guys that can guaranty things like a roof for a lifetime, because they will be out of business by then.

I like the idea of 30 year shingles....that should get us through. It might cost less in the long run because if prices double in 10 years and a roof lasts about 14 years......it might cost less to do a 30 year roof now.

We did get a good price for home insurance this year from CAA which is like AAA. They did an inspection and said they would cancel our policy unless we put an eavestrough extension on one of the downspouts....and had a trough to carry the water away from the foundation...never heard of that before....but we did it and sent them a picture.

Life just got better.
FWIW, we had new architectural shingles installed about 4 years ago.

My family just sold my late grandmother's house, which received a 30 year roof around 15 years ago - passed inspection with flying colors. She would have the roof cleaned every year or two, which I think is important in the PNW. Her nearly 60 year old original owner house also had all original windows (and most finishes), all obsolete but in fine condition. Quality build along with caring ownership can do a lot. I visited the house for the last time this past Saturday, it closes on Monday, and that's it. Kind of sad, but time moves on. and @ab348, Thanks for the info.

What I hear a lot from acquaintances are statements along the lines of, "I thought you only drove BMWs." They are actually surprised when I tell them that BMW owns Mini.

The metal roofs installed around here are put on, what appear to be, furring strips and put right over the existing asphalt shingles. No old roof to haul away. Many people don't like that. I assume there are other ways to do it, but I haven't seen it.
Don't forget the Snow Stops or Snow Guards too to keep a ton of snow sliding off the roof onto your noggin.
If you can get a 25 or 35 year roof for half, or a third, the cost of metal, It doesn't seem real hard decision.

Around here, we have many older tudor style houses with tile roofs. (also, slate). Seems like the "historic" restoration companies have a field day with those. They last almost forever, but as they age, seem to need expensive maintenance.
I've noticed that in the case where they need replacement (after 80-90 years), some have been replaced with a PVC product that mimics the appearance of tile.

Oldfarmer, I am not a fan of adulterating my beer or coffee with extra flavors, but if you get to Ellicottville go to the Brewery Restaurant in town and try their own Wheat Blueberry beer....that is their best seller.

This is the summer I think we'll put a metal roof on the cabin. I need to sort the eavestroughs so the deck on the side of the house doesn't get so wet as the snow melts, plus a metal roof is a real plus where forest fires are possible. Getting the snow off is a very good thing also, since it's possible to get feet of snow up here sometimes, and if it gets too deep it has to be taken off to avoid breaking the roof structure. It's a simple gable roof, so shouldn't be too expensive. Regardless, it'll be worth it.

I share similar feelings about adulterated coffee. If I wanted foam and chocolate chips floating around I’d buy a sundae. I doubt Starbucks would even let me in the door.

What they don’t tell you about solar panels is they are susceptible to lightning strikes if not installed correctly and lots of home panels fall into this category and they don’t have to get a direct hit either. Being too close to a strike is good enough.
