Is Metal Roofing Cheaper Then Shingles?

I would like to know if metal roofing is more affordable then shingles. I know metal roofing is louder when it rains but if I can save a few grand so what. Is it worth the switch? My house was built in ’92 and my shingles are already curled up from the heat. I don’t even live in the south where it gets really hot.

How effective is the warranty on roofing shingles?

I have heard that they are pro rated, that you don’t get your full money back and that new shingles are far more expensive than older shingles were! Is it even worth pursuing warranties on shingles that are starting to curl that are 18 years old that were 25 year shingles?

These are asphalt shingles…

Which company makes the best 30yrs composition roof materials?

I’m looking into re-roofing my home soon and with all the different manufacturers out there, I’m confused as to which company makes the best 30 years composition roof materials. There’s ELK, OWEN CORNINGs, and CERTAINTEED. Which one should I pick? I’m looking for the thickest shingles with the best look that makes your house stands out….curb appeal.
