Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

Depending on the materials and conditions of your house, flashing has a life span of 15 to 50 years. To ensure its longevity, schedule an inspection for your chimney and roof each year. A pro can quickly assess its condition and recommend repairs.

Regular cleaning, inspecting for peeling or rust, and reapplying coatings every 8-12 years helps maintain durability.

Metal roofs have an excellent reputation for longevity. Including aluminum roofing, you can expect a metal roof to last between 40 and 80 years under normal conditions and with proper maintenance. That longevity can shorten in areas where salty air is a concern and not accounted for during installation to provide additional material protections. 

The actual construction time required to repair your roof may only be a few hours, but it could also be a couple of days for extensive repairs or a large roof. But you may find yourself having to wait weeks for the insurance claim to go through, including having the adjuster visit your home and make their report. After your claim has been approved, there may be a wait time for roofing materials or to find time on a contractor's schedule.

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.
