Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Roofers most often use nails to fasten roofing shingles and other roofing materials. Nails have more holding power than staples and offer better weather resistance and longevity. However, it is possible to use staples instead of nails when installing a roof. Staples are less expensive, but not as high-quality.

There are advantages and disadvantages to metal roofs in cold climates. 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 may require snow guards, which prevent the ice and snow that slide off a roof from causing a sort of "mini avalanche" that can damage property and people below.

Zinc roofs can last over 100 years under ideal conditions. While metal roofs last a long time, 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.  

Metal roofing offers durability, energy efficiency, and resistance to extreme weather conditions. It can reduce cooling costs, has a longer lifespan than traditional materials, and provides a sleek, modern appearance, adding value to a property.
