What is better, 24- or 26-gauge metal roofing?

• <div><p>24-gauge metal is thicker and will stand up better to impact, so it’s a better option for roofs that will see heavy snow and ice accumulation, hail storms, fallen tree debris, and blown debris. It’s a more expensive option, but it’s worth the added cost for roof longevity in extreme climates. If you live in a more moderate climate and don’t have trees overhanging your roof, 26-gauge metal is suitable and is a more affordable option.</p></div>

Q: What are the common applications of sheet metal repair?

• <div><p>Sheet metal repair is commonly applied in automotive, construction, HVAC systems, and roofing repairs to maintain durability and aesthetic appearance.</p></div>

Q: Is a drip edge necessary on a metal roof?

• <div><p>Yes, a drip edge is necessary on a metal roof, according to the International Residential Code (IRC). Drip edge flashing prevents water from dripping onto and behind your fascia board, which prevents the board from rotting and reduces the risk of water damage behind it. On gable ends, you can either install drip edge flashing or gable-end flashing to avoid the same issues.</p></div>

Q: Are metal roofs good for cold climates?

• <div><p>There are advantages and disadvantages to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-metal-roofs-cold-climates.htm">metal roofs in cold climates</a>. Metal roofing stands up extremely well to harsh winters as long as it is properly insulated. Snow and ice slide right off residential metal roofs, preventing the formation of ice dams; but because of this, they <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-snow-guards.htm">may require snow guards</a>, which prevent the ice and snow that slide off a roof from causing a sort of &quot;mini avalanche&quot; that can damage property and people below.</p></div>

Q: Does rock salt make your car rust?

• <div><p>Salt is corrosive to metal, and when it&rsquo;s mixed with air and water, that corrosion increases. While this compound can cause your car to rust, it takes years to cause damage. However, once you see rust, it&rsquo;s probably well advanced. Winterize your car and avoid driving before or immediately after ice storms to reduce rock salt effects.</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.
