Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

While it’s less common than on other kinds of roofs, yes, ice dams can form on metal roofs. Metal roofs, particularly those with snow guards installed, can still accumulate ice at the roof edge, although ice dams on metal roofs are less likely to cause roof or interior damage than on traditional asphalt shingle roofs.

Most standing seam metal roofs last between 50 and 80 years. Certain high-end metals like copper or zinc can last up to 100 years if well-maintained. For the best durability, choose a low-gauge (thick) roof in a metal that works with your climate. Some are susceptible to thermal expansion and aren’t the best choice for all climates.

Metal roofing gets hot when it’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.

How long it takes to repair a roof depends on damage, but in general you can expect roof repair to take a few hours to a few days. For example, replacing damaged shingles can take between one and four hours. Structural repairs, like fixing a sagging roof, can take up to four days. 

On average, a roof lasts 30 years—depending on the material. Metal roofs can last up to 70 years, while zinc, specifically, can last well over 100 years. These roofs can reach their intended life span with maintenance that includes seasonal gutter cleaning, pruning nearby trees to avoid damage, and routine inspections every year.
