| Yep, any little bit of information is helpful! I do love the sound of rain on a metal roof and with the skylights we have in the living room I guess we'd hear the rain and hail anyway. Thanks! |

| I don't have one on my home, cause it was too expensive. But when I built the 12x26 patio, I covered it with a metal roof. I also put a metal roof on my carport when I built it. I did both myslef, and used the screws to put it on, not nails like they used to use years ago. Im in Mobile AL, and both withstood hurricane Ivan, and Katrina. I had to have the house re-roofed after Ivan, as winds blew a lot of shingles off. Had I been given a good price, would have certainly had my house done with the metal. But the 3 estimastes I got for metal, was about 1/3 more than shingles. Only hurricane damage I saw with the metal roofs here, where if a tree landed on them! And Ivan hit 2004, and Katrina the following year. But with Katrina we got more water damage than wind. Yea many down on the Gulf Coast love the metal roofs, they seem to be much stronger during hurricane seasons than shingles. Have to be really careful who you get to do it though, seen many after the storms slap metal right over the old roof. the old roof needs to be removed first, because when it sweats inbetween, it can make the old roof rot, which will later rot your structure. There needs to be a few inches inbetween the metal and old roof. Thats what I was told by all 3 "local roofers" I got for estimates. |

| We're getting ready to build a farmhouse and a barn with living overhead and putting metal roofs on both! |
