    We'll probably get through one more year with our old roof, then it will need to be replaced.

    Metal roofs look wonderful, but cost alot more than shiingles.

    Any thoughts about these types?

    I myself have wondered about metal roofing. My question is, and it may seem silly, But does it make alot of noise when it rains? Will you be hearing the loud sounds of the rain inside your home? What exactly does it cost to have a metal roof placed and what is the comparison monetarily to shingle roofing? I know that it is said to last much longer than the shingles. Does anyone have any knowledge concerning metal roofing?

    Thank you for that! We want a metal roof very badly; we like the look, they raise the value of the house, and yes, the sound of rain is louder; but my husband and I both like that.

    Great article, the metal roof, even though more expensive is the ideal thing, it's easily installed and has a lifetime value. Most importantly is the lovely sound of the rain. You are going to enjoy it.
