FAQs
What advantages do metal shingles offer for homes in the Fayetteville climate?
Metal shingles are engineered to perform extremely well in Fayetteville’s humid subtropical climate, where hot summers, heavy rain, and occasional ice storms can shorten the life of conventional roofs. Metal resists moisture absorption, so it will not warp, crack, or develop mold the way wood or asphalt products can. Reflective coatings bounce back a large portion of solar heat, lowering attic temperatures and summer cooling costs. In winter, interlocking panels with high-performance underlayments shed snow and ice quickly, reducing ice-dam risk. Overall, homeowners gain lower maintenance, higher energy efficiency, and a roof that can last 50+ years.
How long can I expect a metal shingle roof to last compared with traditional asphalt shingles?
Standard three-tab asphalt shingles in Northwest Arkansas typically last 15–20 years, and architectural asphalt options average 20–30 years with ideal care. By contrast, properly installed metal shingles from reputable manufacturers carry 40- to 50-year material warranties and often exceed that life span. Their aluminum-zinc or galvanized steel cores resist corrosion, and high-quality Kynar/Hylar paint finishes protect color for decades. Over its lifetime, a metal roof usually costs less than two asphalt tear-off-and-replace cycles and adds premium resale value.
Will a metal shingle roof be noisy during Fayetteville’s frequent rainstorms or hail events?
When installed over solid decking (minimum 7⁄16-inch OSB or plywood) and a modern synthetic underlayment, metal shingles are no louder than asphalt during a storm. In fact, many homeowners report a quieter interior because metal panels are fastened securely to the deck and do not flap in high winds like some asphalt products. For additional acoustic dampening, we can add a layer of insulation board or dense batt insulation in the attic. The end result is a calm, well-insulated roof system, even during Arkansas’s heaviest downpours or hail.
Are metal shingles energy-efficient enough to lower my utility bills?
Yes. Fayetteville summers bring prolonged heat waves, and dark asphalt roofs can reach 150–170 °F, transferring radiant heat indoors. Our metal shingles have infrared-reflective pigments that meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® cool-roof standards. Independent studies show these coatings can drop roof surface temperatures by 50 °F or more, translating to up to 20% savings on peak cooling costs. During winter, the same roof forms a tight thermal envelope that minimizes heat loss, especially when combined with proper attic ventilation and insulation.
How well do metal shingles stand up to high winds, hail, and severe thunderstorms common in the Ozarks?
Premium metal shingles are tested to UL 2218 Class 4 impact ratings, the highest available, meaning they can withstand 2-inch hail without functional damage. Interlocking edges and concealed fasteners give them wind resistance up to 140 mph—well above the 115 mph design wind speed for Washington County, AR. They also meet ASTM E1592 uplift standards, making them an excellent choice for homes exposed to ridge-top winds and sudden thunderstorms. Many insurance carriers offer discounts of 5–30% on premiums for Class 4 impact-rated metal roofs.
What factors affect the cost and installation timeline of a metal shingle roof in Fayetteville?
Pricing depends on roof size (measured in squares), complexity (valleys, dormers, skylights), chosen metal gauge and finish, and whether the existing roof must be removed. On average, installed costs range from $9 to $14 per square foot in Northwest Arkansas. A 2,500-square-foot roof typically takes 4–6 days for tear-off, decking inspection, underlayment, flashing, and shingle installation. Because metal panels are lightweight, many roofs qualify for a direct-over-asphalt installation, saving disposal fees and labor. We provide free on-site assessments, detailed written estimates, and help with available tax credits or utility rebates for cool-roof products.
