Roof Replacement
I have a rental property that is in need of a roof replacement. There was a storm so I have an insurance claim that has quoted roof repair at $3200. I have an estimate for same roof that is currently on it (asphalt) to be replaced for $3000. For dimensional asphalt - $3200. For $4300, I can get an aluminum roof. I know these potentially last twice as long. I am not sure how long I will own the property. I know cheaper is better for rentals, but would it be worth the extra money for a roof that could last longer and maybe appeal to buyers more than an asphalt roof? Trying to decide which of the three to go with.
