not all galvanized roofing is the same. There's the old style heavy corrugated and galvanized iron roofing that lasted longer than the newer thinner gauge. The old stuff weighs about three times the weight of the new stuff.
The current minimum standard thickness is 26 gauge, anything thinner than that isn't recommended. Generally it's also "pre-painted".
We have a 73 year old aluminum roof that is nearing the end of it's lifespan. It could possibly be repaired and hang in there for another ten years maybe, but it's quite tired and has a few leaks during heavy rain. It will be taken into the recycling center when it's removed and may help offset the cost of new roofing.
If I could, I'd replace it with another aluminum roof, but I don't think they're even available anymore?
