There is a great metal product out there for just about any house. If you'd like to send me or post pictures of your house, I might be able to provide some better ideas as to what would work well. [email protected] Todd Miller

Metal is certainly, when done correctly, a nearly permanent solution. What look were you going for? Eric Novotny

Metal roofing can be installed by oneself and it sounds like your roof is fairly simple and would be a good candidate. I would suggest using this website to find some products you like and then inquiring with the manufacturers as to whether their product is available for DIY installation and, if so, how they obtain it. Also ask what they have as far as manuals, videos, or even training classes. Todd Miller

Help! Live in double wide and need new roof. Inspector told roofers they need to do metal roof. Roofer tells me its 40k and labor intensive opposed to shingle roof. Roof has slight pitch. Roofer wants to continue with shingle replacement but i dont want to have code violation and/penalties. Is it mandatory in california to put metal roof?

I know of no such mandate in California but there could be peculiar things to your situation or there could be local code requirements. My best advice is to keep digging and pushing to get to the root of things. Also, there are metal system kits made specifically for re-roofing mobile homes. One of those might be more cost effective.
