There are a few different metals that are ok,the very expensive kind that you don't see and of the screws and they have a expansion hole for each screw. 5 times the cost of a quality shingle roof.
Iko shingles they wont even install them.
Most Iko shingles are made from recycled news paper.
Also Alberta is one of the only places that you don't need a licence to be a roofer. He is from the west coast and you have to pass tests and it is like a apprenticeship to be a roofer.
This is true ^^^^
