FAQs
What makes energy-efficient metal panel roofing different from traditional asphalt shingles?
Our standing-seam and ribbed metal panels are fabricated from Galvalume steel or aluminum and coated with "cool roof" pigments that reflect up to 70 % of the sun’s heat. This high reflectance, paired with the metal’s natural emissivity, keeps attic temperatures dramatically lower than a dark asphalt roof. In addition, metal panels are lighter, 100 % recyclable, fire-resistant, and carry much longer warranties—40–50 years versus 15–20 for shingles—while qualifying for federal energy-efficiency tax credits.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills with a metal roof in Jefferson City’s climate?
In Central Missouri’s hot, humid summers and cold winters, homeowners typically see a 10–25 % reduction in annual cooling costs and up to 15 % savings on winter heating when a reflective metal roof is paired with proper attic ventilation and insulation. Many customers report attic temperatures 30–40 °F lower on peak summer afternoons. Those savings usually offset the higher initial investment within 6–8 years and continue for the 50-year life of the roof.
Will a metal panel roof withstand Missouri’s hail, high winds, and heavy snowfall?
Yes. Our panels carry a Class 4 UL 2218 impact rating (the highest available) and resist hail up to 2" in diameter without cracking or losing protective coating. Interlocking seams and concealed fasteners provide 140-mph wind-uplift resistance, well above Jefferson City’s code requirements. The slick metal surface sheds snow quickly, preventing ice damming, and the substrate’s protective alloy guards against corrosion in our freeze-thaw conditions.
Does installing metal roofing increase the resale value of my Jefferson City home?
According to the latest Remodeling Magazine Cost-vs-Value Report, Central U.S. homes with metal roofs recoup an average of 61 % of installation cost at resale—about 6 % higher than comparable asphalt-roofed homes. Buyers appreciate the 50-year transferable warranty, lower utility bills, and modern curb appeal, often resulting in faster sales and higher offers. Insurance companies may also provide premium discounts for the roof’s fire and impact resistance.
How long does installation typically take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A standard 2,000-square-foot Jefferson City home takes roughly 2–3 working days from tear-off to final inspection. Larger or more complex roofs may require up to a week. Our crew uses on-site roll forming to cut panels to exact length, minimizing noise and waste. We protect landscaping, perform a magnetic nail sweep each evening, and keep one section of roof covered at all times, so your household can remain fully functional throughout the project.
What maintenance does an energy-efficient metal roof require, and how long will it last?
Metal roofing is largely maintenance-free. We recommend an annual visual inspection to remove leaves from valleys and clear gutters, a gentle hose rinse if pollen or soot accumulates, and a check of sealant and fasteners every 3–5 years. Unlike asphalt, metal will not crack, curl, or foster moss. Factory finishes carry 30-year fade and chalk warranties, and the underlying metal typically lasts 50+ years—often outliving the building itself.
