        "text": "Metal roofing generally has a higher upfront cost than asphalt shingles but offers a significantly longer lifespan and lower lifetime costs. For example, a severe-weather metal roof might cost two to three times more initially than a premium asphalt shingle roof. However, its durability and resistance to harsh weather reduce repair frequency and replacement needs. When budgeting, consider the long-term savings from reduced maintenance and potential insurance premium discounts for impact-resistant roofing.",
