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.

On average, a roof lasts 30 years—depending on the material. Metal roofs can last up to 70 years, while zinc, specifically, can last well over 100 years. These roofs can reach their intended life span with maintenance that includes seasonal gutter cleaning, pruning nearby trees to avoid damage, and routine inspections every year.

Most standing seam metal roofs last between 50 and 80 years. Certain high-end metals like copper or zinc can last up to 100 years if well-maintained. For the best durability, choose a low-gauge (thick) roof in a metal that works with your climate. Some are susceptible to thermal expansion and aren’t the best choice for all climates.

There are pros and cons to metal roofs. Some of the benefits of a metal roof include a long lifespan, multiple style options available, and improved energy efficiency in your home. The biggest drawbacks of metal roofing are the higher price tag and the noise. When rain falls on a metal roof, it tends to be louder compared to other roofing materials.

Metal roofs can rust, but steel is a material that holds up well to environmental factors, especially if it’s painted or galvanized. One of the main determining factors regarding rust is the environment the roof is in. Harsher environments with a lot of salt in the air will rust much more quickly than a steel or metal roof in a dry climate. Zinc-coated steel, called galvanized steel, is excellent at preventing rust from forming.
