I need to re-roof an existing garage this month. Later, a year or so away, I will be building a new home beside this garage. I have been roofing shopping. Have seen the Metro steel shingles with aggregate glues onto steel shingle-like panels, and that looks interesting. Have considered standing seam steel roofing, but it looks too much like a restaurant when applied to a house, to suit me anyway. Have even considered exposed fastener pole building type steel roofing panels. We really want to do it for low maintenance for the long haul. Been hearing horror stories about current asphalt shingles and too much cheap filler and not enough asphalt, and less fiberglass cause that's expensive, and warranties are markettgin gimmicks, and stuff like that. Of course we all know that a shingle that has a "30 year warrantee" is about shot in 20-odd years. So, I guess I am looking for alternatives, recommendations, ideas I havent considered etc. Thanks a bunch guys, for anything you can offer. Gotta run...
