FAQs
What types of metal panels do you offer for roofing and siding in Calhoun?
We stock a full line of 26- and 29-gauge panels, including popular profiles such as 36" wide R-Panel, 5V-Crimp, Standing Seam, and our Board-and-Batten–style wall panel. All panels are roll-formed locally in Calhoun for quick turnaround and can be ordered in bare Galvalume, standard polyester colors, or long-life Kynar 500® finishes. Matching trim, fasteners, sealants, and closures are available so you receive a complete, color-matched system.
How well does a metal roof handle Calhoun’s weather, especially summer heat, heavy rain, and the occasional hail storm?
Metal roofing is ideal for Northwest Georgia’s mix of hot summers and stormy springs. The baked-on coatings have high solar reflectance, helping reduce attic temperatures by up to 30 °F. Panels are interlocked and fastened with high-strength screws that meet ASTM and UL uplift ratings, so they resist the straight-line winds and downpours we often see. Our 24- and 26-gauge products also carry Class 4 impact resistance, meaning they are less likely to dent from hail compared with thinner alternatives or asphalt shingles.
Are metal roofs or walls noisy when it rains or hails?
Noise is typically no greater than with other roofing materials once the system is installed over decking, underlayment, and attic insulation. The sheathing and batt insulation in most modern homes absorb the sound energy. For retrofits over open framing—such as barns—adding a radiant-barrier foam backer or a layer of fiberglass insulation between the panel and substrate will noticeably reduce noise levels.
What kind of lifespan and warranty can I expect from your metal panels?
Galvalume metal panels have an expected service life of 40–60 years. Our silicone-modified polyester (SMP) colors come with a 40-year film integrity warranty and 30-year chalk & fade coverage. Kynar 500® panels upgrade that to a 45-year fade warranty and outstanding corrosion protection, perfect for commercial or coastal applications. All profiles carry a standard 20- to 25-year substrate warranty against rust perforation.
Can metal panels be installed over existing shingles, and how long does installation usually take?
In many cases you can install metal roofing directly over one layer of composition shingles, provided the decking is solid and local codes allow it. We supply specialty 1" spacers and vented furring strips if an air gap is desired for extra ventilation. A typical 2,000-sq-ft residence can be re-roofed in three to five days by a professional crew, while a straightforward agricultural building may be completed even faster. Removing old shingles adds about one extra day but may be recommended to inspect the deck thoroughly.
How do metal panels contribute to energy efficiency and long-term savings?
Cool-roof pigments in our painted panels reflect up to 70 % of solar radiation, cutting summer cooling costs by 10-25 %. The durable finishes maintain that reflectivity for decades, unlike asphalt roofs that lose granules over time. Because metal weighs only one-third as much as shingles, it puts less stress on framing, which can lengthen the life of your structure. Additionally, the panels are 100 % recyclable at end-of-life, and many customers receive insurance discounts thanks to the Class A fire rating and high hail resistance.
