re: Metal roof question

If you go metal, standing seam is 10 times better than an R panel for the life of the roof. A standing seam roof system properly installed, will never leak.
I don't understand why someone would put a metal roof on a house over shingles other than simple aesthetics. I am in the commercial industry and build several PEBs a year. We push standing seam panels over R panels every day of the week. The increase of cost on the roof is offset numerous times over after recognizing the savings by changing from a convential steel building to a PEB.

This is probably the best on the market but not a cheap roof.
I have a copper standing seam on a large portion of my house and 30 yr shingles on the rest. They all leak at some point because they all have penetrations or base flashings that eventually break down. The standing seam will last longer but it by no means is a lifetime roof. It's a 30-40 roof but any roof is only good if it is maintained.
