Another possible con is that a metal roof is louder than a shingle one
The previous homeowner did a horrible job of picking colors in my opinion. The interior of my house was all shades of beige and brown. The walls were all beige and there was wood furniture. The carpets were all slightly different brown blends. It took forever to rip everything up and repaint over the mess. Now I am doing whites, grays and blues. Outside of the house they landed on an orange exterior with brown trim. The roof is a rusted orange color. I absolutely hate it. I have been slowly fixing the exterior. The walls are now a dark gray with a moss colored trim. The last part is the roof. It seems dumb to replace a well working roof. It has been 15 years since it has been touched though. For insurance purposes, a new roof is never a bad idea. The rusty orange looks really bad with my new exterior too. I also don’t think I want a shingle roof, but a metal one instead. A metal roof lasts longer and is more durable. Shingles tend to fall off and have a lower life span. I am not afraid of the upfront cost either. So perhaps I can justify this purchase since I am investing in something that will live for years and years to come. Another possible con is that a metal roof is louder than a shingle one. I have asked around and talked to roofers. They have said that the sound isn’t that bad overall. It is louder, but not by much.
