This is the Macon page for metal roofing. The short version: you want to compare metal against shingle or tile with real numbers for their house, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteAerial measurement plus a five-minute history of the house beats a drive-by estimate in an area this varied. Real estate activity drives a lot of the roofing here — pre-listing inspections, buyer credits, and insurance-driven replacements right after closing. Trees are the inland roof's main enemy — limb impact and debris damming valleys cause more claims than wind alone.
On cost: expect roughly two to three times the cost of architectural shingle for standing seam; exposed-fastener panels sit in between; the offset is a service life measured in decades and, in Florida, meaningful wind-mitigation credits.

How it works
Better than shingle for punctures; it can dent cosmetically in large hail. Some Texas carriers exclude cosmetic damage on metal — check the policy before you switch.
Standing seam hides fasteners under the seam, so nothing penetrates the panel — that's why it carries the best wind ratings and longest warranties. Exposed-fastener (5V, R-panel) costs less and looks right on ranch and rural homes, but the screw gaskets need attention after 10–15 years.
