What to Compare
Compare a specific metal roof assembly with the proposed asphalt-shingle assembly for the same house. Ask about existing roof conditions, attachment details, water-management layers, finish work and local project requirements. A material name alone does not establish storm performance or a change to an insurance policy.

How should I compare maintenance and service life?
