        "text": "The initial cost of a metal roof is generally higher than asphalt shingles, due to the material expense and specialized installation requirements. However, metal roofs offer a longer lifespan, often 40-70 years, and can provide energy savings due to their reflective properties. Over the long term, the extended durability and potential energy efficiency can result in a lower total cost of ownership compared to repeatedly replacing asphalt shingles.",
