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>

What do different types of roof repairs cost?

• <div><p>The type of repair you need is a major factor in the cost of repairing a roof. Some of the most common types of roof repairs include:</p><ul><li><p>Leak: $360–$1,550</p></li><li><p>Damaged gutters: $180–$560</p></li><li><p>Flashing: $200–$500</p></li><li><p>Sagging roof: $1,500–$7,000</p></li><li><p>Damaged roof cap: $200–$750</p></li><li><p>Roof patch: $100–$1,000</p></li><li><p>Vent repair: $75–$250</p></li><li><p>Dormer repair: $250–$1,000</p></li><li><p>Fascia: $600–$6,000</p></li><li><p>Truss repair: $500–$5,000</p></li><li><p>Eave repair: $1,500–$1,700</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How long does a steel roof last?

• <div><p>In the right conditions, a steel roof can easily last 50 years or more. However, your environment and maintenance play a large role in the lifespan of a steel roof. For example, if you live under a large tree that frequently drops limbs, your roof will last much less time. Metal roofs near the sea degrade faster as well due to salt in the air. </p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a zinc roof?

• <div><p>While there are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/benefits-metal-roofing.htm">benefits to installing a metal roof</a> on your home, there are some downsides, too. Zinc roofs, in particular, are susceptible to corrosion from overly salty air directly near coastal areas. Another potential downside of zinc roofing is that it must be allowed to expand and contract with the weather. This means special attention is necessary to how it's fastened to the home to avoid issues. </p></div>

Q: How do I prevent future damage to my metal roof?

• <div><p>Regular cleaning, promptly repairing minor issues, ensuring proper drainage, and using rust-resistant coatings help prevent recurring damage.</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.
