KCI Roofing

Metal or asphalt shingles – that is the question. The reality is I’ll probably only be moving this place twice in my life, so shingles are an option. The problem is they’ll need venting, and that’s not a super attractive look. OTOH, I haven’t ordered the metal, and minimum it will take 10 days plus it’s twice as expensive. Can I wait ten days? The expense isn’t really an issue. Environmentally, metal makes more sense. It’s recyclable where ashphalt is not. And it will last. Decades!

Ack, it turns out my street is going to have its sewers replaced which means they’ll be tearing the whole thing up. I’ve got to get this place finished before this happens. Yet another thing to worry about.
What did you use for siding? Most of Jay’s are sheet metal, or wood siding. Looks like you did something different…

This is looking very modern. I would use the shingles. It will be a very cute mini-McMansion!

It would look great using a shingle roof but considering traveling, it simply can’t handle the tension from the road.
