Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

Metal roofs boast a few advantages 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.

Homeowners insurance may pay for chimney repair if the damage type is covered under your policy, such as lightning strikes, heavy storm damage, fallen trees, and unexpected chimney fires. However, if a fire or other damage is caused by poor or improper maintenance, a standard homeowners insurance policy won't cover repairs.

Whether you should repair or replace your roof 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.

A metal roof will last for an average of around 50 years—usually between 40 and 75 years—which is about double the lifespan of an asphalt roof—between 15 and 30 years or 25 years on average. Installing a metal roof is usually more expensive than an asphalt roof, with an average cost of $11,400 compared to the $9,200 for an asphalt roof. However, given that a metal roof costs about 20% more and lasts twice as long, it’s typically well worth the investment and should save you money in the long run.

While there are many benefits to installing a metal roof on your home, there are some downsides, too. Zinc roofs, in particular, are susceptible to corrosion from overly salty air directly near coastal areas. Another potential downside of zinc roofing is that it must be allowed to expand and contract with the weather. This means special attention is necessary to how it's fastened to the home to avoid issues.
