Absolutely. Its really not that much more expensive, at least on the 2 roofs we've done - her old house post-derecho, and our new place. Now those were both fairly simple roofs, and they just went over the old shingles with the steel. But for us, maybe 20% above shingle cost. And we get a discount on the house insurance, and likely never worry about it again.

If you were able to find metal roofing material after the derecho, you are fortunate. I wanted to go that route, but materials were months out at the time with every place I checked.

Gf mom has an Amish farrier from up around Indee somewhere. He also did roofs with his brothers, had a supplier for the steel up there somewhere too. So we had a steel roof on the house within 40 days post-derecho.

Which was good, as we had a ~70 yo maple fall on the house. 12 holes in the roof, lots of water ingress, completely demolished the 3 season porch on back of house. I spent a lot of time on the roof with tarps and in the attic with buckets and still had water coming in. Thankfully it didn't rain much during that time.
 
Already down a couple of inches this spring from normal here in the northland. Going to have to start tracking the drought monitor again later this summer I bet.
 
Sorry. My fault because I reseeded my lawn this spring so no rain for any of you while I hemorrhage money on water bills.

Crops are really starting to look rough in NC Iowa. Not sure how they can survive much more of this.
 
We are getting pounded with rain right now in FD, this is the 2nd round this afternoon.
