        "text": "Weather-resistant metal roofs typically last 40 to 70 years, significantly longer than asphalt shingles which often need replacement every 15-30 years. The longevity of a metal roof is a key practical tradeoff, offering a higher upfront cost but reducing the frequency of future replacements and maintenance expenses. Proper installation and material quality, like the type of paint finish, also play a role in achieving its maximum lifespan.",
