Zinc Roofing Repair & Replacement
Protect and Beautify Your Home With a Zinc Roof
Emmons Roofing & Siding is a premier roofing contractor that has been installing metal roofs for homeowners in New Jersey and Pennsylvania for more than 30 years. While Emmons installs all manner of residential metal roofing, zinc roofing systems are in increasingly high demand. Zinc as a roofing material isn’t new. In fact, zinc was first used for roofs in the U.S. in the early 1800s. But the modern trend is driven by new manufacturing and installation techniques that have resulted in this metal providing similar benefits to copper roofing but without exorbitant costs.

Is It Time to Replace Your Roof?
We encourage homeowners to replace their roofs proactively based on the expected lifespan of the roofing material. Replacing a roof a little too soon is better than replacing it a little too late as water damage repair costs can add up quickly. With any roof, leakage usually means it’s time for a replacement. With metal roofs in particular, you should watch for loose panels and flashing, and missing fasteners. Discoloration typically indicates some type of corrosion, and wrinkling is a sign that the panels were mishandled during installation, the fasteners were overtightened, or the underlayment is uneven.
The Benefits of Zinc Roofing
There are many great reasons to choose a zinc roofing system for your home. While zinc is more expensive than steel and aluminum, it offers copper-like longevity of upward of 100 years, which means that the total cost of ownership is actually lower. A zinc roof also adds significant value to a home. It’s also a very environmentally friendly option that is 100% recyclable. These roofs require little to no maintenance. They are highly energy efficient and will make your home cheaper to heat and cool. Zinc is lightweight and will never rust and provides excellent protection against weather, fire, and impacts.

Metal Roofing Systems
Your options for your new metal roof aren’t limited to zinc roofing with Emmons. Our team also specializes in inspecting, maintaining, installing, and replacing aluminum, steel, and copper roofing.
Aluminum Roofing
Aluminum is a popular option as a roofing material because it’s affordable, lightweight, and malleable. This material also won’t rust, which makes it a better choice than steel in coastal areas.
Steel Roofing
Steel roofing systems continue to be the most popular metal roofs as they’re the most affordable and last upward for about 50 years. While steel can rust, a zinc coating is used to protect the underlying metal.
Copper Roofing
Copper roofing is a classic and elegant roofing choice that like zinc can last upward of 100 years. High demand and low supply have made it very expensive and thus no longer prevalent as a roofing material.

An Eco-Friendly Roofing Choice
All metal roofs are environmentally friendly choices, but zinc is the most eco-friendly of all. Zinc is an abundant resource. The extraction and manufacturing processes associated with it require less energy than those needed with other metals used for roofs. Zinc is also 100% recyclable when it comes time to replace the roof. Metal roofs provide a high return on investment. They add significant value to a home, and homes with zinc roofs spend less time on the market than those with asphalt roofs but even those with steel and aluminum roofs.
Zinc Roofing Maintenance Services
While zinc roofing doesn’t require much maintenance, it does like all roofs require some. Emmons provides a full range of maintenance services. We can inspect your roof and clean it and remove debris. Emmons can also recommend proactive repairs and correct any wear and tear as needed.
Zinc Roofing Inspection Services
Emmons recommends having your zinc roofing system inspected at least once a year as a precaution and in the aftermath of any severe weather that may have damaged the roof. We’ll send a Haag-certified inspector to your home to perform a comprehensive inspection. Haag certification indicates that the inspector is an expert in roofing systems who has completed many hours of on-roof training by forensic engineers, and has learned how to assess roof damage and determine the repairs needed to make a roof sound again.
