Guest User 7/18/2005	We are building a new home and would like to install a standing seam metal roof, but are concerned about our proximity to the salt water. The house is about 350 feet from the water, up a hill of spruce trees. We have been told by one local contractor that the manufacturers will not warranty a metal roof within 1/2 mile of any salt water, and we'd have to go with copper if we want metal. A copper roof isn't in our budget, so are we looking at asphalt shingles?	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/6284/find/
Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 7/18/2005	You will find some differences in warranties on steel roofs, especially in regards to the quality of the base steel and any protective coatings on it. I would not say it would be impossible to find a warranted steel product. Another option is aluminum. There are many good aluminum roofs which would be warranted for this application and which would cost about the same as steel, maybe a bit more.
