I had my house and gambrel roof barn done in spring 2021. My house was built in 1997 and had the original shingles. There were no leaks or cracking, but they were becoming discolored and thin looking. I replaced them with a 50 yr dimensional shingle. The gambrel roof barn is 36x48 so it was almost like doing 2 homes. I looked into and I would have preferred a metal roof but could find one that looked right on an all brick house. I’ve seen some gorgeous metal roofs but they were integrated into the style of the house and complemented the look. I’ve also seen some that look plain trashy. It’s a matter of opinion I guess. I would be afraid to install any roof without a complete tear off. We never had any leaks but the roofers did end up replacing a few OSB sheets that had deteriorated.
