Shingles need to be replaced every 10-30 year depending on wear and their type. It just seems so uneconomical and such a pain.
I get that metal conducts heat more easily, but couldn’t you just let a thin layer of moss grow on your metal roof and call it a day? Even if they dry out in the summer, I doubt metal + thin layer of dirt would conduct heat more than black shingles

Midwest US here. Lots of metal roofs on houses around here. They have a much higher upfront cost, and some people consider them unsightly. A hard rain can be relatively loud. A firefighter friend of mine also said you can’t extinguish from above very easily.
