Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

While there are many benefits to installing a metal roof 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. 

The average cost of welding is about $300 per project. Welding project costs range from $125 to $490 on average, depending on the type of metal, the size and complexity of the project, and your geographic location. On the low end of the price range, you might pay $50 up to $1,200 or more. The type of metal rods used and the welding method also factor into the project’s overall cost.

When properly installed and maintained, a metal roof can last 50 to 80 years. However, the fasteners used to attach the roof may have a shorter lifespan than the roof panels, so it’s a good idea to inspect your roof every few years to check for wear and replace any damaged components. Metal roofs installed over shingles don’t last as long as tear-offs since the underlying roofing components can deteriorate over time, and the added weight can stress roof supports.

Copper roofing works well in all kinds of climates, but it’s ideal in humid climates because it naturally repels fungus, moss, and algae. This makes it one of the best roofing options for Cape Cod homes in the Northeast, as well as homes in the humid southern states and snowy northern states. That said, copper is vulnerable to thermal expansion. If you live in a climate that has extreme temperature changes, your contractor will need to consider this during the installation process.

A 26-gauge metal roof panel can span between 4 and 8 feet, depending on a few factors. Local building codes dictate what’s appropriate for panel span, but these are normally based on expected snow loads. Additionally, the type of metal roof you choose will affect the maximum span, as corrugated metal is stronger than flat standing seam panels or a screw down roof and can often span greater distances.
