Notes from the Field, from Alan Millhone

 Hello everyone.

I notice a lot more metal roofs being installed on residential home roofs of late. I asked my banker CEO how appraisers feel about metal vs. shingled roofs and he had no answer for the present.

I note most of the roofs I see being applied are metal over existing shingles. I am old school and prefer a 30 year dimensional shingle. I have a couple of my apt units that will need roofed (I tear off and never do a tack over) and will use shingles.

Any thoughts?

Regards,

Alan
