I thought all you would need to do is replace all the attaching screws with new rubber gasket screws and redo any flashing and pay a Inspectors to come and inspect for wind mitigation.. at least that what I thought you needed to do

I used this for my roof.

My metal roof has been through several hail storms one of which left a few minor dents on my car and truck. Roof had no damage while a few shingles roofs around were beat to shite.
If you go metal make sure you get 22 gauge and not the thinner 26 or 29 gauge. My roof is off white and reflects a lot of heat.
As far as there being cosmetic damaged not covered, the same applies to the ugly black mold that grows on asphalt shingles roofs. Ugly as hell and insurance will not pay to replace it.

had a metal roof that was about 26 years old, and their insurance was threatening to drop them due to the age of the roof.
I know of a similar story except the 26ga roof was 15yo. Perfectly fine roof but the insurance DGAF

Galvalume roof here. Installed on new build 30 years ago. Just had it inspected due to a couple minor leaks around sewer vents. Had all roof penetrations redone and all roofing screws replaced. ($6500) Galvalume still good for another 30. Single best value expense invested in the original build.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is that?

A heavy gauge steel roof is where it's at.

Constant maintenance.
Metal contracts and expands in the heat here leading to leaks.
More difficult to insulate.
No OTA antenna in the attic/ worse cell phone reception
More difficult to find installers that know WTF they're doing.
A properly installed shingle roof system is still the best way to go, although all shingle warranties are a joke.

Well I agree with insurance here. You aren’t paying insurance for a pretty roof, you’re paying insurance for a sound roof.
You're paying insurance to make you whole in case of a loss (minus the deductible). If the hail damage causes a loss of value, then they should cover it.

my house was built in 1979
I replaced the original metal roof this summer with a new one
that’s a good investment. It will last until I die

What’s the loss of value, the look of your roof? A sheet of metal protects your home the same as an ugly sheet of metal.

Shingle or metal roof?
Why not metal shingles?

2" insulation covered 26ga sheet metal both sides.great for roofs.

From a simple ROI perspective there’s almost no chance that a metal roof is worth it. It’s more expensive and the any person is not going to benefit from a roof that lasts 25+ years over one that lasts 15 years. If you are older and retired and dead set it’s your forever home than sure, if you have money to burn do it metal is going to most likely be the most protective.

The 2 metal roofs in my neighborhood were both deemed "cosmetic" damage and not covered by insurance.
Honestly, that is pretty shitty on all involved that you only find this out after it happens. Lots of sorry frickers knew about this at the time of installation (salesmen, roofing installers, insurance, etc.) and apparently they don’t tell you this.
On the bright side, someone should invent some “hammered” finish or something that doesn’t readily show dents. It might look kind of cool…

When someone hits you at low speed and dents your car but your car still functions, what is the loss?
