"I hired this contractor to do work and coordinate the remodel of my home. He personally refinished the hardwood which I now realize was way over priced only for it to peel all over in 6 months. Company would not communicate with me despite many attempts to make this right. There was no final walk through and details were ignored. I have yet for this to be acknowledged by this.company. My estimate below is ONLY for the floors he redid."

Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

Zinc roofs can last over 100 years under ideal conditions. While metal roofs last a long time, 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.  

Depending on the condition of your roof, you may be able to add flashing to it. If you’re looking for a way to maintain its integrity while saving some money, you should ask a roofing pro if this is an option. Keep in mind that if your roof is in poor shape, a full replacement may be necessary before flashing is installed.

The cost to replace the chimney crown or top is about $1,550 on average. The range varies widely depending on the size of the chimney, the materials used, accessibility, and the extent of the damage. If you suspect a problem with your chimney top, call a professional masonry contractor for an inspection. 

The biggest complaint most homeowners have when it comes to metal roods is this material’s susceptibility to noise, particularly during heavy rain or hail. While some people appreciate the sound, others find it disruptive. Additionally, metal roofs can dent from impacts and may require regular inspections to ensure fasteners remain secure over time.

There are two main issues with metal roofs: the up-front cost and how noisy they can be when it rains. Metal roofs cost close to twice as much as asphalt roofs per square foot, and although you also get more than double the lifespan and more value from them, the initial cost is higher. Metal roofs can also create noise in your living space when it rains, so some homeowners install acoustic panels or insulation under them to reduce noisiness.
