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, metal roofs add to home value with a higher ROI than asphalt roofs in most cases.

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.

It takes a few hours to fix a leaky roof that requires some shingle repair, but it can take one to two days to fix widespread shingle damage if that's what's causing your roof leak. The time it takes really depends on the extent of the damage and complexity of your specific roof repair.
