Asking a Builder

This is an article about the benefits of a good metal roof. What struck me is that this nationally syndicated columnist, a builder himself, is still so in the dark about metal roofing and its many advantages. He limits himself to discussing standing seam and corrugated metal roofing, both of which are what immediately come to mind for the average homeowner when someone mentions a metal roof. And really, they're just a drop in the bucket when it comes to the styles of metal roofing out there. His pricing comparison of the metal roof to the "top-of-the-line shingles that come with a superb warranty..." (just what kind of builder is this, anyway? He's being duped by warranties with lots of fancy talk and no substance?) leaves something to be desired as well. But in spite of all that, I'm happy to see metal roofing enjoying some long overdue praise.
