Whats best in the long run,metal roofing or shingles?
Answers:
well metal roofing will last longer in the long run especialy if you get a good one to start( thick guage, galvinized,coated,tin,) then make sure you screw it down on the high points using a screw with a polyurithane washer the ruber ones dry out faster. the down side to metal is it has no sound or insulation value so you should factor in your climate...shingles reduse rain,sleet hail noise and even road noise and air trafic too...as well as helps on the heat bills holding in the heat.

Slate Roof is the best.
i would go with metal. It does cost more but, looks better and is more durable.

metal lasts longer than wood, but it gets noisy when it rains, hails or other things fall on the roof. Can you sleep with that noise?
Shingles, metal will rust or make a lot of noise when it rains or hails.
Metal roofs definately look sharp and wear well, but will eventually fade out. I would go with a good quality shingle, or if price is no problem check out some of the rubber shingles, they look like slate and are durable.
