U get what u pay for. When is the last time u used asphalt shingles?????
The price of oil has pushed prices up while making manufacturers sleaze out
on the amount of bitumin used. The current shingles sold will fail
prematurely so don't expect 15 to 20 years. Metal roofing is good for
50+++++ years.

Anyway, I'm told that with the garage metal roofing, the roofing expands
and contracts as it heats and cools. The screws loosen in the wood
and/or elongate the holes thru the metal roofing as the roof works back
and forth. Leaks develop, etc. Home metal roofing is installed in a
different way.

I've heard of no complaints about their metal roofing. Can anybody tell
me if the above problem is actually a problem? One may be able to
tolerate minor leaks in a garage or barn but not a house. The source of
the above information is a very good carpenter/builder, knows his stuff,
and keeps current with building codes.

Comparing flying a kite with jet air travel. Residential roofing is done
much different than barns. My only objection to metal is the cost. I was
quoted about 3X a good shingle room. That is probably changing also.
