Just moved to Florida and having a new house built. $25000 upgrade for a barreled/tiled or metal roof. Is it worth the price? I say yes. I'm leaning towards metal. My new neighbors house was built in 2008 and his asphalt shingles need to be replaced. He got 3 quotes which averaged $16000. Asphalt shingles life span 18 to 25 years maybe less in the Florida sun. What will a asphalt shingle roof cost 20 years from now? Just look how much pinball machines have increased over 20 years. CraZy..ha ha I will leave that for the other thread.

Quoted from mcluvin:
I couldn't get class 4 shingles in my area. One of those regional things...

My original asphalt shingle roof lasted ~23 years in Florida, but I would say most don't make it that long. If you go metal, make sure they don't cheap out on the screws. My roof was just under $16K and was actually one of the lowest bids.

No screws showing. It’s a standing metal roof.

Quoted from mcluvin:
Looks nice! Showing or not will they last 40 years? I've heard of issues with metal roofs being installed with shi* screws because a screw is a screw right? What is the wind speed rating?

Not sure of wind rating but will definitely give the GC a ask before I sign for the upgrade. Thats something I need to know being that house will be built in southwest Florida less then a mile from the Gulf. Thanks.
