Most metal roof leaks come from a handful of small problems. This guide shows how to find the real source of a leak, stay safe on slippery panels, and fix loose screws, open seams, flashing, small holes and rust. It also covers DIY versus roofer costs and the jobs to hand to a professional.

Fixing a hole in a roof depends entirely on size. This guide breaks the repair into three real categories — pinhole, shingle-level, and structural — with the exact method, tools, and materials for each, plus a genuine field trick most guides miss.
