FAQs
How does an energy-efficient metal roof lower my utility bills in Georgetown’s hot summers?
Our metal roofs use specialized cool-roof coatings that reflect up to 70% of the sun’s solar radiation and quickly release absorbed heat. This keeps attic temperatures up to 30°F cooler, reducing the workload on your air-conditioning system and trimming summer energy bills by 10–25% compared with dark asphalt shingles.
Is metal roofing suitable for Georgetown’s occasional hail and severe thunderstorms?
Yes. We install 24- to 26-gauge steel panels that meet UL 2218 Class 4 impact-resistance standards—the highest rating available. They withstand hail up to 2 inches in diameter and winds exceeding 140 mph. In most cases, metal roofing also qualifies homeowners for insurance premium discounts because of its proven storm performance.
Will a metal roof make my house noisy when it rains?
Modern metal roofing is installed over high-density foam backer boards, synthetic underlayment, and existing decking that absorb sound. Interior decibel levels during rain are comparable to, and often quieter than, an asphalt-shingle roof. Homeowners report no noticeable increase in noise after switching to metal.
How long can I expect an energy-efficient metal roof to last compared with traditional shingles?
While asphalt shingles typically need replacement every 15–20 years in Central Texas, our Kynar-coated steel roofs carry a 40-year paint warranty and a 50-year manufacturer’s material warranty. With minimal maintenance, life expectancy is 60+ years—three times longer than conventional roofing, resulting in lower lifetime cost.
Does installing a metal roof require tearing off my existing shingles?
In most cases we can install our standing-seam panels directly over one layer of existing shingles, which saves disposal fees and shortens installation time. We first inspect for decking or moisture issues; if the deck is sound, a metal-over-shingle retrofit is a code-approved, cost-effective solution in Georgetown.
How will a metal roof affect my home’s resale value and appearance?
Energy-efficient metal roofing boosts curb appeal with sleek lines and a wide palette of fade-resistant colors. According to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value Report for the Austin-Round Rock metro, metal roofing recoups roughly 85% of its cost at resale—one of the highest returns among exterior upgrades—while helping your home stand out in Georgetown’s competitive market.
