Q: What are the disadvantages of a zinc roof?

• <div><p>While there are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/benefits-metal-roofing.htm">benefits to installing a metal roof</a> on your home, there are some downsides, too. Zinc roofs, in particular, are susceptible to corrosion from overly salty air directly near coastal areas. Another potential downside of zinc roofing is that it must be allowed to expand and contract with the weather. This means special attention is necessary to how it's fastened to the home to avoid issues. </p></div>

Q: Why do copper roofs turn green?

• <div><p>The green coloration that develops on copper roofs is called a &ldquo;patina,&rdquo; and it&rsquo;s a result of mild oxidation on the surface. The oxidation process is not harmful to your roof. In fact, the surface corrosion acts as a protective layer and won&rsquo;t spread to the core of your copper roof materials. The discoloration will progress much more quickly in damp or humid climates than it will in dry climates. If you don&rsquo;t like the green color, you can seal your roof to preserve the shiny, rose-gold look.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to remove shingles before installing a metal roof?

• <div><p>In most cases and locations, roofs with a single layer of asphalt roofing shingles won't require roof removal before installing a metal roof. However, underlayment may be necessary on roofs with moderate shingle damage. Heavily damaged roofs or ones with multiple shingle layers will most likely require removal before a metal roof can go on.</p></div>

Q: Can you put a green roof on a regular house?

• <div><p>You can put a green roof on a regular house with a compatible slope. Green roofs are best suited for flat or gently sloped roofs, as steeply pitched roofs can make the installation and maintenance of the green roof challenging. Flat roofs can support the weight of the soil and plants and ensure effective drainage. </p></div>

Q: When should I start worrying about my roof’s longevity?

• <div><p>If your roof is nearing the 20-year mark in age, you probably should start worrying about the roof&rsquo;s longevity. If you don&rsquo;t know the age, it may be time to figure out who installed your roof, so you can estimate the age accurately. You then can make plans to pay for the upcoming roof replacement. You also can learn <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-inspect-roof.htm">how to inspect a roof</a> yourself to look for signs of damage that may indicate a need for a replacement.</p></div>

The work was done very poorly and now I have to pay another contractor to fix the problem. The contractor returned and resolved all the issues in the roof. He painted my house before doing the roof and his crew did a good job there, the stripping and painting were well done and of good value.
