        "text": "A well-maintained metal roof can last 40-70 years or more, significantly longer than many other roofing materials. If your metal roof is relatively new and experiences isolated damage, repair is usually the most economical option. However, if your roof is nearing the end of its expected lifespan and exhibits widespread wear, a replacement provides long-term value and avoids recurring repair costs. We evaluate the remaining useful life of your roof to guide our recommendation.",
