What’s different about Saint Paul

How the cost is built
Metal-roof cost is driven by panel type (corrugated and ribbed steel are cheaper; standing-seam, aluminum, copper, and zinc cost more), roof complexity, and gauge. Metal costs about twice as much as asphalt upfront but lasts 40–60 years, so its cost per year is often lower.
