Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

A metal roof will last for an average of around 50 years—usually between 40 and 75 years—which is about double the lifespan of an asphalt roof—between 15 and 30 years or 25 years on average. Installing a metal roof is usually more expensive than an asphalt roof, with an average cost of $11,400 compared to the $9,200 for an asphalt roof. However, given that a metal roof costs about 20% more and lasts twice as long, it’s typically well worth the investment and should save you money in the long run.

A metal roof should hang over between 1 and 3 inches over the bottom edge of each roof slope. This helps keep dripping water away from your roof decking and fascia boards to reduce the risk of water damage. It also reduces the risk of longer overhangs bending under the weight of snow and ice.

A 26-gauge metal roof panel can span between 4 and 8 feet, depending on a few factors. Local building codes dictate what’s appropriate for panel span, but these are normally based on expected snow loads. Additionally, the type of metal roof you choose will affect the maximum span, as corrugated metal is stronger than flat standing seam panels or a screw down roof and can often span greater distances.

Yes, a drip edge is necessary on a metal roof, according to the International Residential Code (IRC). Drip edge flashing prevents water from dripping onto and behind your fascia board, which prevents the board from rotting and reduces the risk of water damage behind it. On gable ends, you can either install drip edge flashing or gable-end flashing to avoid the same issues.

Common materials used include aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and copper, each selected for their properties suited to specific repair needs.
