At time my metal roof on 2400 square foot house was 14K compared 10K for shingles. Actually my insurance when down cause metal roof last 50 plus years under normal circumstances.

I can tell you beings came from okieland where the have REAL hail storms. After replacing 3 roofs I put metal roof on. Golfball size hail don’t even put scratch. Baseball size will leave small to medium dent depending on angle struck. I found it funny that peas size hail started all the roofing scams in villages when most of villages didn’t get the hail. IMO most tropical storms around here are abnormal windy day in okieland.
