        "text": "Metal roofs generally have a significantly longer lifespan than asphalt shingles. While asphalt shingles typically last 15-30 years, a properly installed metal roof can last 40-70 years or even longer. This extended durability means fewer replacements over the home's lifetime, offering a strong return on investment. The choice often comes down to balancing initial cost with long-term performance and reduced future maintenance.",
