Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

24-gauge metal is thicker and will stand up better to impact, so it’s a better option for roofs that will see heavy snow and ice accumulation, hail storms, fallen tree debris, and blown debris. It’s a more expensive option, but it’s worth the added cost for roof longevity in extreme climates. If you live in a more moderate climate and don’t have trees overhanging your roof, 26-gauge metal is suitable and is a more affordable option.

Sticky shoes help, but you shouldn't be walking on the steel roof— let the pros do that. it's dangerous enough to walk on asphalt shingled roofs which have quite a bit of texture. Stone coating adds a lot of grip, but it still doesn't lock your foot down, so if you absolutely have to be on the roof, make sure you’re secured in another way, like with the harness and rope.

Repairs can typically be completed within a few hours, though larger projects requiring multiple layers or precise shaping may take longer.

In the metal versus shingle roof 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’t like.

When properly installed and maintained, a metal roof can last 50 to 80 years. However, the fasteners used to attach the roof may have a shorter lifespan than the roof panels, so it’s a good idea to inspect your roof every few years to check for wear and replace any damaged components. Metal roofs installed over shingles don’t last as long as tear-offs since the underlying roofing components can deteriorate over time, and the added weight can stress roof supports.
