Story time:
Some 25 years ago, a row of condos was built near where I lived. They
looked very posh. The builder put on a blue standing seam metal roof.
It was very modern, and it stood out from the sea of brown asphalt
shingle roofs that surrounded it.
The condos sat empty for more than a year.
The beautiful, expensive, low-maintenance metal roof was replaced with
brown asphalt shingles, and the condos sold in a few months.
