Picked the $6,200 metal roof over shingles in Airdrie last spring and I still can't tell if I won
When the hail hammered our street in Airdrie two summers back, I had to choose between a $12,800 shingle redo through insurance or paying $6,200 out of pocket for the metal upgrade, and I went metal because everyone kept saying it pays off in the long run. Now every time a storm rolls through I'm up on the ladder checking for dents, and honestly some panels near the chimney have a few small dimples that keep me guessing. For the folks who went metal here, did your insurance rate actually drop like the sales guy promised, or did you just get a louder house for your trouble?
