Is your roof sheathed?

Most of the newer standard steel is 29 gauge, but you can pay extra and get thicker.
Steel roofing in my area is considered "high end", and it's most costly, lasts longer, and sheds snow much better than anything else.
I can't figure what your agent is concerned about - unless your roof was built like a barn - with no sheathing - just purlins on 24" centers. In that case - I understand the concern. It's never done in my area with heated homes - just with barns and unheated structures. With residential homes it is always done now with sheathing underneath - and gauge is no issue.
I'm in the snow-belt of New York. But, a friend of mine lost his roof in Florida to a hurricane - and it was on purlins. When Fema paid to re-do it, the new steel was not allowed without sheathing.
