Is $6,000 to install a metal roof a fair price?
Project Details
My husband and I are in the process of purchasing a home. The house was built in 2003 and has its original roof, which my dad (a retired roofer) estimates has 5-7 years left. Insurance for the house is very high because of the original roof. We live in the Mid-Atlantic region and experience various weather conditions. I'm asking for opinions on whether metal is better than shingles, as my dad is installing it and only charging for materials.
