How to replace low-slope metal roofing?

I am purchasing a home that has 3 low sloped metal roofs. One over the front porch, one over the back, and one over an addition. The addition and the back porch are leaking and i would like to replace all three of them. The slope is probably 3or4:12.

Any websites or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have done traditional shingle roofing in the past, but was under the impression that this slope was too low for it.

I have a leak in my roof and I think the tiles need replacing can I do this myself and how?

I am short so I was only able to get up the ladder and saw that the tiles were all curled up on part of the roof above my back porch also that the black grit from the tiles was in my eaves trough. What would be the best roofing tiles to buy? Is it possible for me to do the replacement myself or can anyone recommend a good cheap roofer in the Beaverton area?
