What's a good source on cost and benefits of these type of roofs, in terms

We live in an area with high sun intensity and frequent winds up to 50 mph.

Any thoughts or opinions? Does it effect insurance rates?



i had a gerard roof put on a few years ago. it was about 1/3 more than
the high rated arch. shingle. i talked to the roofer last month and he
said he has not done any metal roofs lately do to the cost of metal. the
price has gone up 2 to 3 times. my insurance did not give me a break i
live in central ohio. but some insurance co's do give breaks to areas
where fire and wind is a big possibility. good luck i am happy with mine.
