Need some comparison info on metal shingles vs clay and/or cement tiles. There’s a subdivision here that won’t allow asphalt/fiberglass shingles, only tiles or standing seam metal. Got a friend who is in the design stage of a new house, +-4200 sf, high dollar, and she asked me about metal shingles. Obviously they won’t require as much structure as cement tiles, but are there other benefits? How does cost compare?
