Hi pinoyhandyman community! Hope you guys can help us. We're building our house soon and we're deciding on what roof to put. We like the profile of Apo Banawe Roofing but 2 contractors that we've talked to discouraged us in putting Banawe roof because of leaking problems. They said that the design is faulty and leaks are inevitable.

My architect suggested stone-coated roofing. They look very nice and within budget. But after reading reviews on the net (from other countries), there seems to be a problem on eventual shedding of the granules leaving bald spots on the roof after a few years. I don't know if these problems apply to the stone-coated brands here but I am assuming they would since we're just importing this type of roof.

We also looked at Kawara roof tiles but it is way out of our budget.

I would appreciate your feedback on the roof materials I mentioned. And maybe suggestions also (something that would go well for a Modern Asian themed house).

Thanks!
