Edward Humphrey wants to know... How much does steel roofing cost?

We are having a metal roof installed on our rental property. We were told by a number of contractors that metal roofing is comparable in price to an asphalt roof. It is all a matter of personal preference. Metal roofing will last for upwards of 50 years, where an asphalt roof, if good quality, will last about 30 years. I personally believe that some house styles just would not look proper or authentic with a metal roof. Hope this helps.
It is about 20-30% more in cost of materials to do metal, but you save about 50-60% in labor installing it. Around 40-50 a square...
