Are metal roofs noisy?

• <div><p>Metal roofs have a reputation for being very noisy, but with proper installation and adequate installation, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/are-metal-roofs-noisy.htm">metal roofs aren’t much noisier</a> than shingle roofs. Some types and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/metal-roofing-gauges.htm">gauges of metal roofing</a> provide more sound dampening, and added insulation or a thicker underlayment can also help muffle noise.</p></div>

Why do copper roofs turn green?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Is it worth it to repair a metal roof?

• <div><p>Whether you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-your-roof-need-repairs.htm">repair or replace your roof</a> boils down to the scope of the damage. If you need to replace more than 20% or 30% of your roof, then it’s probably a good idea to just replace the entire roof, as leaving older sections up can leave parts of your roof open to more issues. By replacing your roof, you can have peace of mind that no pesky leaks are sneaking into your home.</p></div>
