It depends. If you put on a metal roof where you had shingles before and you live in a high hail damage area, the premiums may go up. Typically a new roof will only help, but will not drop the premiums anywhere near the cost of the roof.

Composition (Shingle) roofs need to be replaced about every 20 years or so.
