There are very few craftsmen left who can do the standing seam. We had a house that was built in 1906 with the standing seam. It was replaced in 2008 because the nails on the edge of the roof failed. The metal prices should be about the same, the labor will be way more on the standing seam. Five years is not much of a warranty. The metal may not be near as good as the old tin roofing.
