For what purpose? Around here it's installed on roofs to protect
against
ice damming.
And per code it has to be installed up the roof plane from the
lower edge
until
it's 2 feet past the inside heated space below. Maybe that's
where your
2 feet is
coming from?

Here they want the membrane to cover the entire roof.
This is what I needed on my addition.

It is so, when the hurricane blows the shingles off, you still
have a
roof.

Makes a lot more sense to have metal decking instead of stupid
shingles.

About $20 thousand more.

BULL****.


I priced a hidden-fastner metal roof install and it was twice the cost
of the GAF Timberline shingles. Guess which I chose.


Did the same about 20 years ago. Made no sense to spend that much more.
If I were told that my lifetime and the roofs were the same, I'd go
for the metal roof.

I have about 20 years to go before I die, maybe a bit more.
Why should I pay for a roof that will outlive me by 50 years?
Wasnt true when the house was built, stupid.

My house was built in 1947. Everyone before me installed asphalt
shingles. When I had it re-roofed, I would have been foolish to change to steel.
I'd never recover the additional cost.

Are you pricing the materials or the total cost of an installed roof
system?
