Ours came with a 50 year warranty, which is a lot better than shingles. And snow doesn't lay on it long like it does with shingles. As soon as it starts warming a little, the snow starts sliding off--real fun when you are coming up the steps and it slides down the back of your coat! If we had it to do over, we would stay with the metal roof.
