This is where well-installed architectural shingle is usually the right economic answer over metal or tile, because the wind-rating premium buys less. Real estate activity drives a lot of the roofing here — pre-listing inspections, buyer credits, and insurance-driven replacements right after closing.
What it costs in Middleburg: the roof costs what it costs, but a wind-mitigation-optimized install can pay back a meaningful share of that through premium reductions over its life.

Secondary water resistance (peel-and-stick underlayment), hip roof shape if you already have it, proper nailing pattern, and roof-to-wall attachment. A roofer who knows the OIR-B1-1802 form builds to score well on it.
