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.

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.

The type of repair you need is a major factor in the cost of repairing a roof. Some of the most common types of roof repairs include:

• Leak: $360–$1,550

• Damaged gutters: $180–$560

• Flashing: $200–$500

• Sagging roof: $1,500–$7,000

• Damaged roof cap: $200–$750

• Roof patch: $100–$1,000

• Vent repair: $75–$250

• Dormer repair: $250–$1,000

• Fascia: $600–$6,000

• Truss repair: $500–$5,000

Sticky shoes help, but you shouldn't be walking on the steel roof— let the pros do that. it's dangerous enough to walk on asphalt shingled roofs which have quite a bit of texture. Stone coating adds a lot of grip, but it still doesn't lock your foot down, so if you absolutely have to be on the roof, make sure you’re secured in another way, like with the harness and rope.
