If you're thinking about metal roofing for your Petersham home, here's the math: metal costs more upfront ($12-$22 per square foot versus $4-$8 for shingles), but metal lasts 2-3 times longer, cuts cooling costs 15-25%, and has virtually no maintenance. Over a 50-year span, metal is the cheaper option.
Standing seam is the premium metal roofing system. Concealed fastener clips allow the panels to expand and contract with temperature changes without stressing the seams or the deck. No exposed screws, no exposed fastener holes, no maintenance. The seams interlock and the clips float. That's why standing seam doesn't leak.
