My initial thought (because I have a metal guy) was to just do black metal modern slates (see photos of the metal fence / gate style that I was thinking of below).

We place any metal next to the road because it's valuable for metal scrapers.

The houses around that area have some weird features, the interior doors are all metal.

My inspector saw the metal roof, but due to other stylistic choices I assumed the roof was reclaimed metal and put on on purpose.

Over the past 3 years, we've built a metal building & Interior finish-out construction crew to be able to control our own building cost and allowed us to have a full understanding of the cost's to build.

New metal roof and gutters, exterior and interior paint, new flooring on all floors, new HVAC, all new kitchen and bathroom down to the studs and subfloor, Cedar privacy fence in rear.

This includes framing lumber and labor.Roofing installation (such as asphalt shingles, metal panels, or EPDM rubber) typically costs $8 to $15 per square foot, adding another $600 (Shingle) to $1,125 (EPDM) depending on the material.Guard rail replacement, assuming 5+15+5= 25 linear feet of railing, can cost between $1,250 and $3,000 depending on the material (wood is usually less expensive; metal, cable, or composite cost more).If you’re using standard materials like pressure-treated wood and asphalt shingles, you’re likely to stay on the lower end of that range.

As long as your lease is iron clad and you have reviewed your local laws, you might have a case to go after the rent/fees owed.
