Anyone have a metal roof?

[Delarage]

I have solar panels on my 1950's split-level and will possibly be needing a new roof soon. The company that installed the panels 15 years ago is out of business, but there are plenty of local companies that I'm sure could take them down/re-install (and clean while they're at it).

I was thinking about getting a metal roof, though. Current roof doesn't even have a ridge vent and there is very little soffit venting. My handyman/contractor is going to replace the soffits with ventilated ones to prep for this (since roofers would charge a fortune to do that).

But---I had one estimate from a company that makes fancy shingle-looking metal roofs and it seemed exorbitant to me---$35,000. I'd be happy with standing-seam, but he (of course) told me all the problems they have (something about metal grommets deteriorating or something). I haven't gotten any estimates on standing-seam, but am working on that.

Just curious about anyone's experiences with metal roofs on houses.
