Q: How long do zinc roofs last?

• <div><p>Zinc roofs can last over 100 years under ideal conditions. While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-metal-roofs-last.htm">metal roofs last a long time</a>, only copper roofing is comparable to zinc's longevity. Zinc roofing develops a patina over time, turning from dark shades to lighter ones. The material, or at least the patina coating, is somewhat self-healing by filling in small gaps and scratches on its own. </p></div>

Q: How much should a metal roof hang over?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-overhang-on-metal-roof.htm">metal roof should hang over</a> between 1 and 3 inches over the bottom edge of each roof slope. This helps keep dripping water away from your roof decking and fascia boards to reduce the risk of water damage. It also reduces the risk of longer overhangs bending under the weight of snow and ice. </p></div>

Q: Are metal roofs good for cold climates?

• <div><p>There are advantages and disadvantages to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-metal-roofs-cold-climates.htm">metal roofs in cold climates</a>. Metal roofing stands up extremely well to harsh winters as long as it is properly insulated. Snow and ice slide right off residential metal roofs, preventing the formation of ice dams; but because of this, they <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-snow-guards.htm">may require snow guards</a>, which prevent the ice and snow that slide off a roof from causing a sort of &quot;mini avalanche&quot; that can damage property and people below.</p></div>

Q: Are copper roof strips more effective than zinc roof strips?

• <div><p>Copper roof strips offer better coverage and more damage protection than zinc roof strips. Although both deter moss and algae growth, copper also offers UV protection. Zinc strips require more strips than copper to cover the roof&rsquo;s surface area, which means more holes in your roof. Copper strips are also more flexible and last longer than zinc strips.</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>
