Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

In the right conditions, a steel roof can easily last 50 years or more. However, your environment and maintenance play a large role in the lifespan of a steel roof. For example, if you live under a large tree that frequently drops limbs, your roof will last much less time. Metal roofs near the sea degrade faster as well due to salt in the air.

Hail damage to a roof looks different depending on the type of roof. On asphalt roofs, you’ll likely see dark circles on the impact sites of the larger pieces of hail, and you may see small cracks in the surrounding shingles. Hail damage is easiest to spot on a metal roof, as you’ll notice dings and dents where the hail was severe enough to cause damage. Whether you notice signs of hail damage or not, it’s best to have a hail damage repair company inspect your roof after a major storm to assess the damage.

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.

The costs of sheet metal repair vary, generally between $200 and $600, depending on the extent of damage, material type, and complexity of the repair.
