Q: How long do copper roof strips last?

• <div><p>Copper roof strips can last for 20 to 30 years or more if properly installed&mdash;in many cases, they may outlast your roof. Inspect your roof annually to ensure copper roof strips remain properly adhered and undamaged, and repair any loose or lifted strips. With very little upkeep, copper roof strips can protect your roof for decades to come. </p></div>

Q: Do metal roofs leak more than shingles?

• <div><p>Asphalt shingle roofs are more likely to leak than metal roofs because they are more prone to uplift and damage from extreme weather, moss growth, and ice dams. Asphalt shingles also lose shingle grit over time, which decreases their waterproofing qualities. Metal is a more resilient material that will stand up better to strong winds and heavy precipitation, ultimately leading to a lower risk of leaking. As such, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/metal-roofing-facts-and-myths.htm">metal roofs add to home value</a> with a higher ROI than asphalt roofs in most cases.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to complete metal roofing repairs?

• <div><p>Repairs typically take 1-2 days, though extensive damage or structural work can extend project timelines.</p></div>

Quick completion, cleaned up well. Disappointed that they had to return after the first rain to seal around the chimney to stop a small leak. Will have a better idea of how they did after the next rain. Otherwise a good experience.
