Why do copper roofs turn green?

• <div><p>The green coloration that develops on copper roofs is called a “patina,” and it’s a result of mild oxidation on the surface. The oxidation process is not harmful to your roof. In fact, the surface corrosion acts as a protective layer and won’t spread to the core of your copper roof materials. The discoloration will progress much more quickly in damp or humid climates than it will in dry climates. If you don’t like the green color, you can seal your roof to preserve the shiny, rose-gold look.</p></div>

Q: Is it normal for chimneys to leak a little during heavy rain?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not normal for a chimney to leak even a little bit during heavy rain. A chimney in good condition will keep rain from seeping into the chimney or house, so if you notice a small leak during a rainstorm, it&rsquo;s time to call a pro for inspection. There could be damage to the flashing, chimney crown, or flue liner.</p></div>

Q: Can hail damage a metal roof?

• <div><p>Metal roofs are more resistant to hail than other types of roof materials; however, hail can still damage a metal roof. The extent of the damage depends on the size of the hail and the severity of the hail storm. The type of damage a metal roof can get from hail includes dents, scratches, loose fasteners, leaks, and cracked paint. </p></div>

Q: Can you walk on a metal shake roof?

• <div><p>Metal roofs are dangerous to walk on, even for professionals. Metal shake does offer some texture to help with grip, but metal itself is extremely slippery, especially at a medium to steep pitch, so call in a pro rather than getting up on the roof yourself. They&rsquo;ll have the necessary safety equipment and experience to avoid injury.</p></div>

Q: What warranties are typically offered for metal roofing?

• <div><p>Many manufacturers offer 30-50-year warranties, depending on material and installation.</p></div>

It went great. I had three other installers look at it and they could not figure out how to retrofit the existing wood stove chimney. These guys knew right away what to do. Did the whole thing in one day. They also helped me pick the perfect unit for our house.

Googled chimney sweep to find R&R. Two men arrived 10 minutes early. They came inside to look over my home and started. First, they laid down 2 tarps before bringing in their equipment. The large vacuum had a hose with a fitting that connected to the flue creating a seal. When the chimney...
