Q: How long do zinc roofs last?

• <div><p>Zinc roofs can last over 100 years under ideal conditions. While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-metal-roofs-last.htm">metal roofs last a long time</a>, only copper roofing is comparable to zinc's longevity. Zinc roofing develops a patina over time, turning from dark shades to lighter ones. The material, or at least the patina coating, is somewhat self-healing by filling in small gaps and scratches on its own. </p></div>

Q: Will a metal roof leak more often than shingles?

• <div><p>Metal roofs don&rsquo;t inherently leak more than shingles, and when properly installed, they can actually offer greater protection against leaks. However, poor installation, improperly sealed fasteners, or thermal expansion issues can lead to leaks over time, so professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial.</p></div>

Q: Do aluminum roofs get hot?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-metal-roofs-make-your-house-hot.htm">Metal roofing gets hot</a> when it&rsquo;s exposed to direct sunlight, but aluminum is naturally reflective and can actually help keep your home cooler in hotter, sunnier climates. The solar reflectance of aluminum is significantly higher than that of asphalt shingles and clay tile, so a metal roof will reduce solar heat gain in your home.</p></div>

He started with a price of $380 which was a bit high and then he said he found another problem after he started. Now it is $500 dollar repair on an $800 six yr old fridge. I could have spent another $400 and had a new one. Will not use him again.

He did not fix the car"s problem, and then told me to arrange towing and service somewhere else because he had "done all he could". The Dealership it was towed to then had to repair the damage caused by his mistake.
