Almost Self-Reliant
My current shingled roof was put on in 1996. It is wearing fast and the south side looks to have hail damage. I'm getting my second estimate today.
What I'm trying to decide is if I should go with meal roofing this time. What are the benefits and faults? Seems it will last longer, but what about any upkeep?
It appears that there is a tax credit for asphalt or metal roofs installed this year that are Energy Saver.
The first guy said if he puts on metal, he'll leave the current shingles on as an insulation layer between the plywood and the metal, so less labor and less mess.
Either way I have to settle on the color of the new roof.
