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>

Q: What are the advantages of a metal roof?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/benefits-metal-roofing.htm">Metal roofs boast a few advantages</a> over more traditional asphalt roofs, the most impressive being a longer lifespan. Metal roofs last for up to 80 years, while asphalt roofs average between 20 and 30 years. Metal roofs are less likely to leak, depending on the type of metal roof you choose. They shed snow more easily and help keep your home cooler in hot, sunny climates.</p></div>

Q: How long does a metal roof last?

• <div><p>When properly installed and maintained, a metal roof can last 50 to 80 years. However, the fasteners used to attach the roof may have a shorter lifespan than the roof panels, so it&rsquo;s a good idea to inspect your roof every few years to check for wear and replace any damaged components. Metal roofs installed over shingles don&rsquo;t last as long as tear-offs since the underlying roofing components can deteriorate over time, and the added weight can stress roof supports.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain custom metal structures?

• <div><p>Regular cleaning, rust prevention treatments, and protective coatings extend lifespan and appearance.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to fix a roof leak?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>
