The roof was imprinted to look like regular shingles, and at a casual glance you couldn't tell it was metal. The metal roofs don't look like the silver corrugated metal used on a barn. I don't understand the resistance in TV to metal roofs. Is some one getting kick backs on roof replacements? I can't think of any other reason.
For me it's the excess noise of rain against the metal roof that would be a problem.
