Can I replace my metal shingles with v-crimp?

The Historic Architectural Guidelines state, “If replacement is necessary, similar metal shingles must be used, not inappropriate materials such as V-crimp metal.” The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines both state, “Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture and, where possible, materials.”
