Do chimney repair companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>In many areas, chimney repair companies need to be licensed, but it depends on your state and local municipality. You can check with your local building department to see if companies need licenses, and then you can use Angi’s<a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm"> license lookup tool</a> to confirm that the company you’re considering holds the proper license. It’s a good idea to confirm that the professional is fully insured, and you can ask about certification from organizations like the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA). These certifications aren’t mandatory, but they help ensure a professional repair.</p></div>

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 roof repair take?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What are some cons of metal roofs?

• <div><p>Like any housing material, metal roofs have a unique list of pros and cons. On the cons side, metal roofs can suffer from expansion and contraction, which requires more attention to proper installation than for other roofing types. Also, the higher cost of metal roof installations is a barrier to some homeowners on a budget.</p></div>

Q: How long does a metal roof last?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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&rsquo;t last as long as tear-offs since the underlying roofing components can deteriorate over time, and the added weight can stress roof supports.</p></div>

They are excellent! They deconstructed the loose bricks and did a beautiful job replacing them and pouring a new chimney cap. They also replaced about 10 bricks in other places. They are fast, neat, and actually fixed a few other bricks that they found to be loose. A pleasure to work with!

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.
