Thread: Another drought gone

My mom has a metal roof about 8 years old and it started leaking this year she had some roofer come tell her that ever 5 years all the screws need replacing on the metal roofs so she told me that and I told her that I have never heard of such a thing so she found another roofer who come and looked and he replaced about 10 to 15 screws above where the leak was and it has not leaked since 1st roofer wanted 1500.00 plus the cost of all the screws 2nd roofer 150.00 total

I have a metal roof as well, chose that material when I built the place. Mainly because it's better. All screws set on the peaks instead of the valleys on the metal. Each gasket on the screws coated with 100 % silicone from a caulk gun before being driven. After driven, additional silicone applied to completely cover the screw head. I know, somewhat overboard, can't help myself. It's good for generations I figured.
