Metal roofing has moved from agricultural buildings to ordinary Indiana homes, and the questions about it have changed accordingly.
These articles cover the honest trade-offs. Standing seam versus exposed fastener, and why the fastener type predicts most future problems. Real service life against asphalt, which is where metal earns its higher upfront cost. Performance in hail — better than reputation suggests for function, worse for appearance, since dents are cosmetic but permanent. Noise in rain, which is largely a myth over a decked and insulated roof. Snow shedding, which is a genuine benefit here and a genuine hazard over a doorway.
There is also the resale and insurance picture, plus what a metal roof demands of the structure beneath it.
Metal is not the right answer for every house, and the articles that say so are as useful as the ones that recommend it. If you are weighing it against a premium architectural shingle, read the cost-over-lifetime comparison rather than the quote.
