Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

Metal roofs do not technically require a drip edge if the roof overhangs at least one inch, because the roof's slant will cause water to flow away from the structure. But a drip edge would be an added level of protection for a metal roof to help keep moisture issues at bay.

Salt is corrosive to metal, and when it’s mixed with air and water, that corrosion increases. While this compound can cause your car to rust, it takes years to cause damage. However, once you see rust, it’s probably well advanced. Winterize your car and avoid driving before or immediately after ice storms to reduce rock salt effects.

Metal roofs boast a few advantages over more traditional asphalt roofs, the most impressive being a longer lifespan. Metal roofs last for up to 80 years, while asphalt roofs average between 20 and 30 years. Metal roofs are less likely to leak, depending on the type of metal roof you choose. They shed snow more easily and help keep your home cooler in hot, sunny climates.

While it’s less common than on other kinds of roofs, yes, ice dams can form on metal roofs. Metal roofs, particularly those with snow guards installed, can still accumulate ice at the roof edge, although ice dams on metal roofs are less likely to cause roof or interior damage than on traditional asphalt shingle roofs.

In the metal versus shingle roof debate, aluminum roofing has several advantages. However, aluminum roofing costs more than typical asphalt roofing, so up-front cost is a major downside. Aluminum is also somewhat susceptible to denting, and repairs can be more costly than for other roof types because your roofer will need to replace large panels rather than individual shingles. Aluminum roofs are also noisy in the rain, which some homeowners don’t like.
