DeWitt has higher home values than most towns of its size around here and a housing stock that is younger than the regional average, which changes what makes sense on a roof.
Worth Spending On
Where home values are strong and people stay, the arithmetic moves toward the longer lasting materials. A metal roof that costs twice as much and lasts three times as long is a better buy in a house somebody intends to keep.
That is not automatic. It depends on how long you are staying, which is the question that decides it. Lesson 19 walks through it.
