Roofs in Barnstead
A camp converted for year-round use has a heated assembly under a roof that was built for a three-season building. That combination — heat below, snow above, and insulation and ventilation that were retrofitted rather than designed — is the classic recipe for ice dams, and it has nothing to do with the roofing material.
Which is the point worth making here more than anywhere: if your converted Barnstead camp forms ice dams, a metal roof will help by shedding snow and it will not solve the underlying problem. The underlying problem is heat getting into the roof assembly. Fix the air sealing and the ventilation, then choose a roof.
The antique farmhouse stock brings the connected-ell geometry and old framing that should be looked at before anything is specified.
Barnstead Note
On a converted Barnstead camp with ice dams, deal with air sealing and ventilation first. A metal roof helps and it does not fix the cause, and any roofer who tells you otherwise is selling.
