They have metal now that looks a lot like shingles I believe they are called architectural but not positive. Since insurance companies are saying that roofs need to be replaced if they are 20 years old and if we went with a Metal Roof they are guaranteed for a lot longer than 20 years. We want a one and done Roof. Yes I understand that Florida is supposedly the lightening capital of the world but you can prevent lightening strikes on a metal roof also. If anyone could help it would be great.
Before retiring and moving to the V's, taught at a central Florida university. Never used them but heard nothing but good about Eustis roofing... seemed to be THE choice of area residents who are native Floridians, however, it is ALL in the techniques used. What nail strips are used and how MANY nails for foot... there are many less expensive strips "they" all will tell you are "just fine". Also, HOW the valleys are done, many short cuts. EDUCATE yourself first by finding out exactly what the BEST techniques are... don't count on any company selling you a roof to educate you ! ASK a RETIRED life long roofer, they know ALL the tricks and short cuts you'll pay for LATER !
