I get the appeal of metal—easy to maintain, handles snow like a champ, and you don’t have to worry about the weight. But I’d push back a bit on tile b...

I’ve been burned by last-minute changes more than once, especially when storms hit mid-project and everyone’s scrambling. What’s helped me is keeping ...
