Guest User 9/9/2004	Is there any lead in metal roofs?	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/3962/find/
Guest User 9/9/2004	This is certainly not the case with most metal roofs today. However, some older roofs could have lead in them and sometimes lead flashings have been used. Additionally, some metals are available with lead coatings for historic applications.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/3963/find/

Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 12/5/2005	It depends upon the type of metal roof. Most products, though, the manufacturer will suggest some other options.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/3965/find/

Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 12/6/2005	This is pretty far outsid emy expertise unfortunately but I am guessing that the holes include rust onb the backside of the metal and will probably continue to spread even with patching attempts. However, if you do a Google search for "metal roof restoration" you will find many products that are coatings and membranes that will work for various types of repairs.
