Knowing that we’d need a new asphalt roof on our 15-year-old Mallory house fairly soon, I checked on a metal roof a year or so ago. The cost then was a multiple of an asphalt replacement. We had a solar heating system for our pool which was installed by Joe’s Solar when the house was new, which probably would have to also be replaced. I didn’t consider punching all the new nails thru a metal roof for the solar system, so I stopped my research. And now the cost of steel and probabably asphalt has probably multiplied, so I’ve stopped my research. At our age there may not be any sense in overspending for a roof for the next two owners of the house. We’re waiting for the leaks to guide us into a descision.
