good and bad
I have a 12 year old metal roof that was installed on a new house. It really depends on the installer, but a well-installed metal roof is the way to go IMHO. My installer wasn't good. And the roof type I got was not the best either. If I were to do it over again, I would:
1. Make sure the underlying sheathing was plywood and not OSB.
2. Make sure the installer was highly recommended.
3. Get the type of roof that has no screws exposed (hidden brackets at edges instead.)
4. Make sure gutters are below the roof line edge so that sliding snow won't rip them off.
5. Put snow stops on the roof area above any chimney's and vent stacks.
