I live in Florida in a 2 story house. It has a steeply pitched roof. I am going to be bringing my roof up to the new codes and both of these products qualify if properly installed. I am seeking imput to help in making my desision. The steel costs 2 - 2 1/2 times the shingle cost but if it will be better in the long run that is what I will buy.

GAF sells good shingles, you can get them with a warranty up to 35 years. Steel is good also, that depends on where you buy it. If you live along the coast of Florida, then you have to think about rust. Go to a salvage yard and look at an older model car, it will be rusted from the top down. Also use roof wrap instead of felt under the shingles. It does not break down like felt with age.

the guy putting shingles on your roof isn't lazy. that for the time of fact is an fairly stressful interest. the project is does he have the skills to be a vice chairman at Chase.probable no longer or he could be. So he has an outstanding interest yet there are distinctive people who can carry out it besides as he can ; hence , his pay is below the vice chairman's . His corporation would not furnish scientific care using fact he can't locate the money for it if he expects to compete with different roofing companies. If the government forces his corporation to furnish care, value of roofing will flow up and you'd be the 1st to *****.

Steel Stands up better in high winds and wears better in the sun.
