We never had any problem with ours other than caring for it. We lived in the woods so lots of fall leaves. Ours had horizontal ridges above the gutter to prevent sheets of ice sliding off. The spaces between the ridge and the standing seams got clogged with sticks and leaf debris. It was hard to clear those and the leaves without getting up there. Walking on a metal roof with a leaf blower requires more caution—need grippy soles and dry conditions. Ours was laid over foam which helps insulate and dampens sound. Several years after installation a section was damaged by a fallen tree, and repair was fairly simple. If I had a choice of roof types, I’d go for metal. Not sure if there are energy tax rebates any longer, but I think we got some sort of credit when we installed ours.
