Default Metal Roof

I totally agree. We replaced our roof here in TV. We have a metal roof on our home in Wisconsin, and wanted to have one put on here. It is lovely, and looks like a tiled roof. We were very disappointed that we couldn't do that here.

I think they look great (there are metal roof styles that look like shingles, look like tile, etc), and once installed are pretty much carefree for 40-50 years.

I had a metal roof in GA, and I was surprised that it was actually quieter than a shingle roof during rain and hail. I never had an issue with it.

Thoughts?
