"I had used Roofs by Rodger before and they came same day after 1 phone call and did a good job. This time it was totally different. My first phone call I left a message, no one ever called me back. My second phone call a spoke with a person who said someone would call me back about coming to do an estimate. No one ever called me back. After my third call someone came and did an estimate that same day, now a week after my first call. The estimate was left on my door and I was told I had to sign and mail it back. I couldn't approve the estimate over the phone. So I mailed it, and another weeks goes by without hearing from them. I call again and finally someone comes and fixes the roof. But they use light grey shingles on my dark grey roof. It's hard for me to believe they could not do a better color match. In the end the roof got fixed but I'm not very happy about the process or the end result."

Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

When choosing a metal roof, consider not only the area of the roof but also the thickness of the panel, known as the gauge. Common roofing gauge sizes for metal roofs are 24-gauge and 26-gauge. The smaller the gauge size, the thicker the roof. Usually, a thicker gauge is ideal if your house is in an area that sees a lot of rain, snow, or hail, as it will be less likely to dent.

Professionals use hammers, sealants, and nail guns for efficient and durable repairs.

The green coloration that develops on copper roofs is called a “patina,” and it’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’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’t like the green color, you can seal your roof to preserve the shiny, rose-gold look.

The placement of snow guards depends on the individual roof, but typically snow guards are placed between 12 and 18 inches from the eaves, though they can be placed as close as six inches and as far as 24 inches from the eaves. A roofing professional can assess the roof and potential snow loads to determine the best placement.
