Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

The placement of snow guards depends on the individual roof, but typically snow guards are placed between 12 and 18 inches from the eaves, though they can be placed as close as six inches and as far as 24 inches from the eaves. A roofing professional can assess the roof and potential snow loads to determine the best placement.

A metal roof can significantly reduce your energy bills by reflecting heat away from your home, so your cooling system doesn’t need to work as hard to keep the inside cool. After installing a metal roof, you may see up to 40% lower energy costs, depending on how energy efficient your previous roof was and your area’s average climate.

Inspections should be conducted annually, and minor repairs should be made as needed.

Roofers most often use nails to fasten roofing shingles and other roofing materials. Nails have more holding power than staples and offer better weather resistance and longevity. However, it is possible to use staples instead of nails when installing a roof. Staples are less expensive, but not as high-quality.
