.......As far as metal roofing and noise........I imagine that additional insulation can be placed under the metal roofing to stop any NOISE problem. |

We put on 50-year Decra metal roof on our home in IL around 2010 that looked like stone-coated shingles. It lowered our homeowner's insurance because it was fire proof, could withstand gold-ball sized hail, and had a 120 mph wind rating. We did add insulation beyond what was in the attic, and did not have noise from rain. Many friends didn't realize it was metal. We also put it on the gazebo. I haven't figured out how to attach a picture here, but I'd be happy to email one to anyone who contacts me. |

When everyone's home and garden look identical, that area can look cheap and mass-produced. There are very few villages in TV where every house model is the same (although some CYV developments may be) so having different roofing materials (when many are different colors anyway) would make very little additional difference. |

So if you're visiting for the first time and didn't put your GPS on - you will have no landmarks and similar-sounding street names guaranteed to get you lost. While I totally get that a tidy community in well-maintained condition is important, it doesn't mean we have to be homogenous. If the tacky pink flamingo isn't missing a wing, I say put it in the flower bed and let people snicker as they drive by in their tacky sign-covered golf carts. |
Forgive me for laughing at your expense but during our purchase process we asked several questions about the process and were told “I have to ask my team “ was the answer. No one ever got back to us with the answer. Must be a standard response. Good luck and keep on them

Heard on news this morning Florida considering getting rid of asphalt shingles? Good idea IMO metal roofs last life time for some of use and yes I had metal roof in OKC, best investment I ever made. My neighbors replace their roofs twice while my metal roof hardly took dent with golf ball size hail.

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?”…
Maybe the solution is to admit that our economy needs immigrant labor now, as much as it alway has, and come up with a system that allows labor companies or State labor departments to place people in jobs, then allow the people into the country intelligently. |

Thanks for sharing that for the millionth time... |
Rubber
We had a metal roof on our practice but it had metal screws with rubber washers that held it down. I know this only because I found some of the screws laying around when they were done. Do the rubber washers keep water from leaking in? What do they use down here? I know rubber would be a big no because of the heat. If there are great solutions, we would be interested.
