In 32 years i have done 1 stainless roof. Somehow it ended up rusting. One of the most difficult roofs to install. It will wear out snips quick, and hard to bend. I would much rather copper.

[@TheMetalRoofingChannel]

Interesting! That is a good point about cutting and bending. What type of building was it?
We've got a video on copper coming out next week. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that too! -Thad

Stainless steel comes in a variety of different grades. If it's made from 304 stainless it will not rust.
