This, by the way, is the very material that will need patching and/or replacing at some point far too soon - guaranteed.

And the proof of that is in the metal roofs that you can find around town. **These are coated steel roofs that look as good today as they did the day they were installed - five, ten, twenty years ago and even longer**! Here's a little video of a [coated steel tile](https://www.metalroofnet.com/coated-steel/tiles/) roof more than a decade after installation - and it looks fantastic. No maintenance issues, no problems with the intense sun exposure here in northern Nevada, no issues from our freeze-thaw cycles or high winds. Just a great-looking roof that has done its job from the start and will continue to do so for the indefinite future. Kudos to these homeowners for making such a smart buying decision so long ago!
