Why is metal roofing more expensive up front in Palomar Mountain?

Metal costs more to install than shingle in Palomar Mountain because the material and the labor to form and flash it are both higher.

Is metal roofing good for coastal or fire-zone homes?

Yes, and that is much of why owners choose it here. Salt-rated stone-coated steel and coated standing seam stand up to marine air, and metal is a Class A fire-rated surface that resists ember ignition, which matters on the fire-zone edges of the county. The matched roofer specs the right grade for your exposure.
