The next morning, I walked outside. The driveway was littered with broken branches. The neighbor’s house had a blue tarp on its south slope. But my roof—my Provia roof—didn’t have a single dimple, scratch, or displaced shingle. The Midnight Smoke panels were covered in a film of water, and as the sun rose, they began to shimmer like a river at dawn.

Most companies use two, maybe three. That’s why cheap metal roofs look like painted barns. Provia looks like slate.”
He stood up and swept his hand across the unfinished panels. “In three years, when your neighbor’s asphalt roof is already losing granules, yours will look the same as it does today. In twenty years, when he’s writing a check for a second replacement, you’ll be cleaning your gutters and thinking about other things.”
