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. 

Common materials used include aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and copper, each selected for their properties suited to specific repair needs.

The actual construction time required to repair your roof may only be a few hours, but it could also be a couple of days for extensive repairs or a large roof. But you may find yourself having to wait weeks for the insurance claim to go through, including having the adjuster visit your home and make their report. After your claim has been approved, there may be a wait time for roofing materials or to find time on a contractor's schedule.

It takes a few hours to fix a leaky roof that requires some shingle repair, but it can take one to two days to fix widespread shingle damage if that's what's causing your roof leak. The time it takes really depends on the extent of the damage and complexity of your specific roof repair.

Generally, to install roof flashing, you shouldn't use screws. Rather, it's best to use either roofing cement or nails. For the best results, match your nail type with the flashing materials.
