[QUOTE="Wildyote, post: 173467, member: 2259"] I have a steel roof on my house and it is not loud when it rains. There is felt under it as well as the insulation in the attic to dampen noise. I don't know where you heard that kills resale value as the metal roof is more expensive and looks nice. They do fade somewhat but shingles blow off and crumble. We went through a major hailstorm last year and many homes in the area that had shingles that were shredded and roofs leaked. Guess what my roof didn't leak and you couldn't see the dents in my roof unless you examined it from a foot away and it didn't leak. So the storms that often destroy shingles do little damage to steel roofs. My in-laws have re-shingled 4 times in the last 20 years because of wind and hail damage. I am putting new steel on my roof that is 16 years old only because the insurance company is going to pay for it. If you want to talk re-sale value why would you buy a house with vinyl siding because pea-sized hail chews that up. [/QUOTE]
