Default Drawbacks

The two main reasons metal roofs may not be ideal here are the fading and heavy rains. Our sun can sometimes be brutal to paint and metal roofs do look rather ugly after a while. I’m not sure how faded one should become or how you would gauge this if you were Community Standards.

Another drawback would of course be the noise from rain. As most know our rains here can be exceptionally hard and lengthy in duration. Also for many there would be the speed the water drains from a metal surface and soil erosion. Perhaps some landscaping would need upgraded to serve the higher volume?

Maybe the villages should consider them because of the shortage of labor that could be coming? There is the idea of the federal government fining those who employ illegal immigrants to defray costs and fund deportation costs. Perhaps a roofing contractor here has or had some working for them?
