DIY: Replace Roof in Metal

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

Metal is becoming very popular in materials for homeowners and commercial firms. They are popping up in the winded areas of Florida constantly. These roofs have a long life and are durable. They are not affected by the elements like other roofs. These roofs can last from 25, to 60 and even 75 years! Metal roofs can add value to your home and save on energy. There could also be a tax credit involved from the government for cool metal roofing systems. These metal roofs come in different shapes and colors like standing seam metal roofing. They come in Spanish tiles, slate, tiles, wooden shakes, metal shingles and more. If you want to DIY and replace the roof in metal you have to know that there are two basic types:
-fixed
-clip on

The fixed corrugated sheeting cannot be used on slopes below eight degrees. The fastenings that hold the sheets get drilled through the roofing material.

The clip on roofing is used on slopes as small as one degree. The clips go on the roofing first and then the roof purlins.

You have to check the manufacturer's information. Anything that causes holes could kill your warranty. You have to use the right fasteners and the debris has to be cleared so there is no corrosion. Zinc/aluminum coated steel can react with lead flashing. You have to use soft zinc or aluminum flashings. Zinc/aluminum coated steel with black lead pencils can lead to corrosion.

Steel Roofs

Flashings Lifting: The flashing will protect the weak areas on the roof. If they are harmed the weather could attack the roof. Re-shape the lead and aluminum flashing to the roofs profile. You should replace the flashing with a grade flashing and refix the roofing with more nails.

Loose Nails and screws: Tighten and adjust fastenings. Think about using spiral and shank nails and screws for holding.

Damaged sheets: weather, debris and walking can damage the roof. Dents can be pushed out and damaged sheets replaced.

Buckling /tearing: Remove and put on more fastenings. Replace the buckled sheets with shorter ones with more joints.

Many metal roofs are tested and warranted to resist wind gusts of up to 120 miles per hour. Some insurance companies in some states like Texas will offer homeowners a 35 percent discount on their metal roofs. Metal roofs are great for insulation and will help with your heating costs. Metal roofs have virtually no maintenance and only require a splash from the hose once in awhile.

Installation

You will need lots of tools to DIY this roof, but it can be done. You will need licensing and insurance to work on your home. Make sure you follow the instructions and have good metalworking tools for the right seam installation.
