Well, that really depends on you, your preferences and your long-term plans and goals for the family home. Statistics do currently show that the popularity of metal roofing is growing in the United States, with market share tripling from medium single digits to low double digits. A new roof will certainly add value to your home, and metal is considered an upgrade and should be factored in if the homeowner is selling the property.
The growing popularity of these types of roofs is largely due to the longevity and durability of these types of products. Industry experts also point to their environmental benefits, possibly lower insurance rates and a reduction in heating and cooling costs.
