[QUOTE="Beefeater, post: 1624940, member: 25588"] Had same situation about 5-6 years ago and put 26ga low profile painted over existing shingles with tarpaper in between. No fade yet and it really helped reduce road noise. I put 26ga high profile Ag galvalume panels on new construction house 3 years ago. They recommended using the self sealing ice dam for entire underlayment and that’s what we did. I absolutely love the look. Both of these houses have had small amount of walnut size hail with no damage yet. About the same as what destroyed the new 40 year architectural shingle on first house. Metal shingles and panels have been around a long, long time and proven beyond doubt. The sealing screw gromets are not the old rubber junk that would rot out. My cattle barn has metal panels that are getting close 70 years old - probably going to replace in a few more years... There are a few cons - metal is slick in comparison to shingles, can be harder to find installers, doesn’t patch very well and pipe protrusions require a little more care to seal up right. Worth a call to your insurance agent to hear their take on your local area. [/QUOTE]
