RE: Metal roofing on low pitches: what’s your go-to?
Hidden fasteners definitely look cleaner, but I hear you on the “defusing a bomb” feeling. I had to pull up a couple panels last fall to chase down a drip, and it was way more of a hassle than I expected. Ended up scratc...

I’m with you on the practicality side. When I bought my place, I looked at clay tiles but the weight and risk of cracking in our winters just didn’t make sense. Asphalt shingles might not be flashy, but they’re way easie...
