I would like to know if the new metal roofing is as good as the asphalt shingles? This would be for a home?

Thank you all for your answers. I have just one more question: I want red for the one I decide on. Does anyone know if either one will fade over time?

      Asphalt shingles have come a long way and are very durable and long lasting. Metal roofing you will never need to replace in your lifetime, or your children’s, probably longer…….

      No metal roofs are not as good unless you get a heavy snow load? Then thier good as they let the snow slide off and relieve the weight of the snow, it also depends on who it was designed

      The other hand you probably wont have to replace your roof as often.

      The least durable of the least durable of the least durable of all building materials.
      The least durable of all building materials if you get good quality metal roofing material ie not made in year galvanized or not made in china expect it to rust through in china expect it is made in year galvanized or not made.
