The location is truly one of the main factors to consider when opting for a new roof since harsh outdoor elements are your roof's greatest enemy. Now, since the ringing problem here is the color of the metal roof you want to install, I think the original color is great as it is. It helps give off a rustic feel to the structure. You can also go for red to match the floor, or go for white to make the house look brighter. I hope this helps, and please update us soon on what you decided to have! Good luck!<br /><a href="http://www.vinylumeinc.com/products-services/roofing/" rel="nofollow">Danielle @ Vinylume Home Improvement</a>Danielle Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02208766962596248919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-67598048959125959172013-09-29T19:47:23.691-05:002013-09-29T19:47:23.691-05:00WOW!

I prefer it because the fasteners are hidden, and generally aren't a potential leak source. The main thing is to make sure the ribbed type is installed by someone with experience, with a good reputation, and who is willing to stand behind the work. And has been around for a while. My roofing came from a company that went out of business shortly after I built. It was one of many that seemed to sprout like mushrooms over the last few years.<br /><br />Whatver you do, FC, make absolutely sure you get high quality roofing. If it's painted a darker color (red, green, blue) it will certainly fade if it's not.<br /><br />I used to think metal roofing was the final solution, short of slate, but my experience has taught me that the longevity and weather-tightness of *any* roofing system depends on the quality of the materials and the installation.Mark Phttp://www.caniconfidimus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-4035039893468476592013-09-25T23:37:38.076-05:002013-09-25T23:37:38.076-05:00I'd go with 5-bead or corrugated Gavalume; of ...I'd go with 5-bead or corrugated Gavalume; of course, this is what I went with. ha!

If you want to be "green", I'd suggest white and not metal (unless you insulate heavily underneath) to reflect back the sun and help keep your house cool. We went from dark tiles to white when we had to have our roof replaced after Wilma, and it cut our cooling bills by a good 15-20%. <br /><br />EDIT: Sure, mold could be an issue, but there are materials that inhibit its growth. But you live in FL, you are going to get mold no matter what, so you'll have to pressure clean it ever few years or so.Korthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893991713352205819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-54481750831819329872013-09-24T14:03:44.014-05:002013-09-24T14:03:44.014-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Korthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893991713352205819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-31699695199790913722013-09-24T13:25:42.411-05:002013-09-24T13:25:42.411-05:00I vote with the traditional silver/gray.

Jim has a so much info in his comment and I know only what I read. There were a huge amounts of info and controversy<br /><br />http://www.solar-estimate.org/?page=white-roof<br /><br />I thought white would look good on your roof, but Sayre's comment about the mold doesn't sound like fun. Wonder if that was due to the material used.<br /><br />Anyway, your house looks beautiful. I look forward to seeing your new roof whatever it is. Love your porch and wild country setting!

The reflection is good, but I have to say that after a few years, it looks kind of crappy. We're not overly shaded, but some kind of mold that looks like dark rust grows on it. It does wash off fairly easily, but if you're going to have a no-walk roof, that's not going to work for you. I would suggest a mid-tone grey. Too light would show dirt and mold, too dark and you lose the reflective qualities.<br /><br />Between replacing the roof and all our windows, I managed to trim about $200 off our monthly bill.
