Welp the time for a new roof has come. Our homeowners insurance is saying that due to the age of our current roof they will not renew the policy that is due in April. The roof is from the original build date of the house which is almost 30 years old. It has had 2 areas repaired in the front about 7 or 8 years back and has recently started to leak on one side again.
I was under the impression that tile roofs were good for 40-50 years but at this point it is a moot point considering the leak and the insurance situation. Was wondering if anyone has gone from tile to metal before or replaced any other type of roof with metal. Being that the design of the roof fits the house it would have to be the pre fabbed slats that look like tile? Any idea of cost difference or quality/longevity. My first guess is somewhere in the 60-70k range price wise but who knows.
