Q: Do metal roofs leak more than shingles?

• <div><p>Asphalt shingle roofs are more likely to leak than metal roofs because they are more prone to uplift and damage from extreme weather, moss growth, and ice dams. Asphalt shingles also lose shingle grit over time, which decreases their waterproofing qualities. Metal is a more resilient material that will stand up better to strong winds and heavy precipitation, ultimately leading to a lower risk of leaking. As such, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/metal-roofing-facts-and-myths.htm">metal roofs add to home value</a> with a higher ROI than asphalt roofs in most cases.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to repair a roof?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: How long does chimney flashing last?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Do roofers use staples or nails?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>
