I put a metal roof on 20+ years ago

much less than $10,000

I'll get at least another 20+ years
That was not an option because of deed restrictions although Im not sure Id want a metal roof.  Isnt ir pretty loud when it rains?

Just got our roof replaced last year.  $21,000.

Fortunately insurance paid for it.

One of the very few perks to living in Austin, is that we're guaranteed a hail storm that will completely total our roofs about once every 10-12 years.
Never got one bad enough to ruin my roof.

We get really, really bad hailstorms here.  And not enough rain.  Nobody should ever move here.

How bad are the insurance costs if that's the case?

Probably really high, but it hasn't increased significantly in my 24 years of homeownership so it's just part of the cost of living.

Same here but acorns from the Northern Pin Oak and Red Oak not far from the house make it sound like a bowling alley on a windy nights in the fall

We're in a cooler spell, relatively, highs in the 80s the rest of the week forecast, then low 90s.  Yesterday was very pleasant outside, and we had an event at the botanical garden that was excellent.  I'm not usually a fan of such events, but this one was superb, I thought, and we wondered about after with very few folks present.  I learned a lot about all this stuff they do in the background, and about the expansion plans, which looks awesome.

I paid for a new roof in Cincy way back, it was something like $12 K on a 3500 sf house.  I'd guess that was in 2000 or so.  Dimensional shingles some repairs to the underage.
