I bought the house with the metal roof on the main portion of the house. My garage and breezeway has asphalt shingles. In my situation if I had to do the roof over I would put shingles.

For the best results you really need a large overhang for a metal roof, at least a foot or larger, IMHO.

Yes the overhang will definitely help. I did a lot of planning when I built the house but absolutely missed the ball on the hot water vents.
