FAQs
How does an energy-efficient metal roof lower my power bills in Jacksboro?
Modern metal panels are manufactured with "cool-roof" pigments that reflect up to 70 % of the sun’s radiant heat and quickly re-emit the remainder. When combined with a vented attic and quality insulation, attic temperatures can drop 20–30 °F, reducing the strain on your air-conditioning system. Homeowners in North-Central Texas typically see summer cooling costs fall 10–25 % compared with dark asphalt shingles.
Which metal roofing profiles and coatings work best for Jacksboro’s heat, hail, and wind?
We recommend 24- or 26-gauge Galvalume® or aluminum panels in a standing-seam profile. The concealed fasteners and 1½-inch seams resist wind uplift of 120–140 mph—well above typical storm gusts. Finish the panels with a Kynar 500®/PVDF cool-roof coating in a lighter color (white, beige, light gray) to maximize solar reflectance and paint longevity. For outbuildings, cost-effective exposed-fastener panels are available but deliver slightly less energy performance.
Do energy-efficient metal roofs and insulated siding qualify for tax credits or insurance discounts?
Yes. Through 2032, ENERGY STAR®-certified metal roofing can earn a federal tax credit equal to 30 % of the material cost (capped at $1,200 per year). Some Texas utilities, such as Oncor, also offer small efficiency rebates—ask us to complete the paperwork. Because our metal systems carry a Class 4 impact-resistance rating, most insurers grant 15–35 % annual premium discounts for hail mitigation in Jack County.
Can I replace my siding at the same time as the new metal roof, and will that improve efficiency?
Absolutely. Installing insulated steel or aluminum siding (R-value 2–4) during the same project streamlines labor and lets us integrate flashing, drip edges, and ventilation details into one continuous weather-tight envelope. Many customers choose vertical board-and-batten siding to complement standing-seam panels, boosting curb appeal and reducing air infiltration by up to 20 %.
How durable is a metal roof compared with asphalt shingles, and what maintenance is required?
Properly installed metal roofing lasts 40–70 years—roughly two to three times longer than asphalt. It carries Class A fire resistance and Class 4 hail resistance, resists mildew, and does not warp or crack. Routine care involves clearing leaves from valleys and gutters each fall and visually checking fasteners and sealant lines every 5–10 years. Our Kynar finishes include a 30-year fade-resistance warranty; panels themselves are warrantied for 40+ years.
What does the installation process look like and how disruptive is it?
1) We begin with an on-site inspection and precise laser measurements. 2) Custom-cut panels and trim arrive within 1–2 weeks. 3) The crew removes old shingles (or overlays them, if condition allows), installs high-temp synthetic underlayment, and fastens the standing-seam panels. 4) Siding crews remove existing cladding, add an air/water barrier, and hang the new insulated siding. A typical 2,000-sq-ft home takes 2–3 days for the roof and another 2 days for siding. Work hours are 8 a.m.–5 p.m.; we magnet-sweep nails and clean up daily, so disruptions are minimal.
