Roof replacement time, shingles again or metal?

I don’t hold much hope for warranties of roofing materials, read and reread the fine print. When we bought our first house it had the roof redone 4 yrs before we bought it with a 30 yr warranty, it was a selling point and listed on the documents.

It was showing signs of cracking shingles 3 yrs after we bought it. Had the same roofer who did the roof come look at it, and it’ll be covered under warranty talk. Talked to the lumber company who sold him the shingles, and then called the manufacturer and sure enough only the original owner can claim the warranty. Didn’t matter that we had the documentation of the warranty and the receipts from having the work done. Left a bad taste in my mouth kinda experience. It was also a huge name brand company.
