Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

Asphalt shingle roofs are more likely to leak than metal roofs because they are more prone to uplift and damage from extreme weather, moss growth, and ice dams. Asphalt shingles also lose shingle grit over time, which decreases their waterproofing qualities. Metal is a more resilient material that will stand up better to strong winds and heavy precipitation, ultimately leading to a lower risk of leaking. As such, metal roofs add to home value with a higher ROI than asphalt roofs in most cases.

It’s not normal for a chimney to leak even a little bit during heavy rain. A chimney in good condition will keep rain from seeping into the chimney or house, so if you notice a small leak during a rainstorm, it’s time to call a pro for inspection. There could be damage to the flashing, chimney crown, or flue liner.

A metal roof may increase your home value by around $7,000 to $8,000, offering a (ROI) of 60% to 70% of installation costs. A metal roof’s longevity and durability can be a major selling point for prospective buyers—not having to think about roof replacement for the entire time you own your home is a big plus when buying a house.

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.

To maintain metal roof health, schedule regular inspections, clear debris from gutters, and check for signs of corrosion.
