Thanks. Our landlord just reroofed our house with a metal roof and the roofers were saying it was more expensive up front (around $10k in labor and materials I think the roofer said) but that it should reduce cooling costs by up to 15% and will last considerably longer than a regular asphalt shingle roof. Didn't know if that was true and something to remember for when we own a house again because I'm not against the look of a metal roof for certain styles of houses (I think Craftsman and Victorian styles look sharp with a metal roof that is installed correctly).

Not an exposed fastener I hope, UV degrades the washers on the screws and expansion/contraction with temp changes enlarges the screw holes.

Its exposed fastener but the screws are supposed to have a lifetime warranty and have better washers than the cheap ones that are normally used.
