As a 35 year metal roofer, I can give you 11 reasons to install a metal roof. And many metal roof systems are designed for low pitch roofing.

My home is 197 years old. This standing seam roof has been on this house before me. I have know idea when it was installed. I was 1 1/2 old when my parents bought this farm and this is the most reliable roof I could ever ask for. It’s been repainted 3 times. My opinion, it the only kind of roof I would ever have.

Can you tell me more about this painting process? Do you contract this out?

After installing and using both shingle and metal roofing, I'll never do any other roof besides steel in the future. They are MUCH better in all ways (at least in Canada.) 25 year shingles only lasted 10 years. Metal roofs last over 50 years. With the price of installation rising every year, it's far better to bite the bullet and get it done right the first time, then forget about it the rest of your life. I loved the fact that snow slid right off too, too much weight on a roof can damage buildings, especially older ones. I had a tree limb fall on the roof and all it did was dent the steel. It would have put a hole in a shingle roof. You'll never have a leak with a steel roof once it's done right. Shingles can seem good, but slowly leak, damaging roof and underlayment, and eventually drywall. One friend of mine had leaks go down through the walls through three floors. I installed a steel roof and that solved that problem. Sure some roofs are trickier than others, but that's a job that only has to be done once. Shingles need to be done every 10-20 years, so a complicated roof needs to be done again and again. I love steel so much I ripped off the rotten flat roof on my travel trailer and installed a steel pitched roof. No more problems with water damage for as long as I live! There are some reasons to buy a metal roof. Oh, do it yourself and save a tonne of money, it's not that difficult. You can even find manufacturers that offer "2nds" or miscut sales, bringing the cost down to comparable with shingles.

thank you I appreciate this information. I live in Georgia. It rains really hard and most of the houses we have purchased. The roof doesn’t seem to be a sound as we like going into our forever home worst but thinking about switching over to a metal roof

We love our metal roof. But some of our neighbors don't because they cause glare. What can we do ro reduce the glare?

You could probably use a paint that doesn't reflect light... that might affect the temperature, though. I'd check with the manufacturer first.

I'm in northern Virginia, what are some products that you would recommend? anything to avoid? I know a steel of at least 24 gauge thickness with the impact resistance rating, but anything else I should look for?

I would recommend checking around for a textured metal,it doesn't glare in sun an you can walk it (not slick) an it looks really good
