Get a written quoteOlder homes have older electrical and plumbing penetrations through the roof; replacing the boots and flashings on all of them is cheap during a re-roof and expensive later. Lower pitches on mid-century homes rule out some products and make ice-and-water shield in the valleys non-negotiable. Older metal roofs on rural properties are common, and the failure point is almost always the fastener gaskets, not the panels.
On cost: expect roughly two to three times the cost of architectural shingle for standing seam; exposed-fastener panels sit in between; the offset is a service life measured in decades and, in Florida, meaningful wind-mitigation credits.

How it works
Better than shingle for punctures; it can dent cosmetically in large hail. Some Texas carriers exclude cosmetic damage on metal — check the policy before you switch.
Standing seam hides fasteners under the seam, so nothing penetrates the panel — that's why it carries the best wind ratings and longest warranties. Exposed-fastener (5V, R-panel) costs less and looks right on ranch and rural homes, but the screw gaskets need attention after 10–15 years.
