Removal of the metal tiles reveals an older roof underneath. It's a wood shake roof in there and probably original to the house (1964). Some metal tiles show numbers that indicate they may have been manufactured in 1987 (in New Zealand), which puts their age at 19 years (or a little less, given the import and installation time). Or maybe the numbers don't mean a thing. But it's reasonable given the longevity of wood shakes.The metal tiles typically have 50-year warranties if kept intact with the manufacturer's installation standards. Now the concern for me is how to blend it in with the new low-pitch roof because of the extra thickness.
