We have a Manufacturer Home with a Membrane, Metal Roof Mix. We have a great Insurance Company with a $500 Hurricane Deductible at a reasonable rate. After all as much as I love living here and love my neighborhood and our home we did buy a tin can in the area where a hurricane is much more likely than it was in the Tri-State area that we come from. I made the decision to buy what I bought and don’t have any regret or concern at all.

We had planned to keep this home and move into a Patio Or CYV between the Morse Gate and 466 last year but medical circumstances prevented that from happening. That’s just life. Every house we had looked at was coming close to having the roof at its serviceable end. Frank D'Angelo tipped me off about the roofs in Florida as a major issue and warned me to pull a permit for any and all work we were going to do. Up north because of the terrible property taxes we routinely did not pull permits because the township would raise your taxes even higher.

My best bet is the OP will be granted the “Metal” roof approval that they seek and I think it’s a wonderful idea to do so. Thanks for a great thread OP!
