Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

Metal roofs do not technically require a drip edge if the roof overhangs at least one inch, because the roof's slant will cause water to flow away from the structure. But a drip edge would be an added level of protection for a metal roof to help keep moisture issues at bay.

Metal roofs can rust, but steel is a material that holds up well to environmental factors, especially if it’s painted or galvanized. One of the main determining factors regarding rust is the environment the roof is in. Harsher environments with a lot of salt in the air will rust much more quickly than a steel or metal roof in a dry climate. Zinc-coated steel, called galvanized steel, is excellent at preventing rust from forming.

In the metal versus shingle roof debate, aluminum roofing has several advantages. However, aluminum roofing costs more than typical asphalt roofing, so up-front cost is a major downside. Aluminum is also somewhat susceptible to denting, and repairs can be more costly than for other roof types because your roofer will need to replace large panels rather than individual shingles. Aluminum roofs are also noisy in the rain, which some homeowners don’t like.

How long it takes to repair a roof depends on damage, but in general you can expect roof repair to take a few hours to a few days. For example, replacing damaged shingles can take between one and four hours. Structural repairs, like fixing a sagging roof, can take up to four days. 

The type of repair you need is a major factor in the cost of repairing a roof. Some of the most common types of roof repairs include:

  • Leak: $360–$1,550

  • Damaged gutters: $180–$560

  • Flashing: $200–$500

  • Sagging roof: $1,500–$7,000

  • Damaged roof cap: $200–$750

  • Roof patch: $100–$1,000

  • Vent repair: $75–$250

  • Dormer repair: $250–$1,000

  • Fascia: $600–$6,000

  • Truss repair: $500–$5,000

  • Eave repair: $1,500–$1,700
