Q: What are the disadvantages of an aluminum roof?

• <div><p>In the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/metal-roof-cost-vs-shingle-roof-cost.htm">metal versus shingle roof</a> debate, aluminum roofing has several advantages. However, aluminum roofing costs more than typical asphalt roofing, so up-front cost is a major downside. Aluminum is also somewhat susceptible to denting, and repairs can be more costly than for other roof types because your roofer will need to replace large panels rather than individual shingles. Aluminum roofs are also noisy in the rain, which some homeowners don&rsquo;t like.</p><p> </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: How much should a metal roof hang over?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-overhang-on-metal-roof.htm">metal roof should hang over</a> between 1 and 3 inches over the bottom edge of each roof slope. This helps keep dripping water away from your roof decking and fascia boards to reduce the risk of water damage. It also reduces the risk of longer overhangs bending under the weight of snow and ice. </p></div>

Q: Can I use screws for roof flashing?

• <div><p>Generally, to install roof flashing, you shouldn't use screws. Rather, it's best to use either roofing cement or nails. For the best results, match your nail type with the flashing materials. If you have aluminum flashing, use aluminum nails, and so on. You can use the same nails for your asphalt shingles and flashing.</p><p> </p></div>
