FAQs
What makes standing-seam metal roofs a smart choice for homes and businesses in Jonesborough?
Standing-seam panels lock together with raised, continuous seams that run from ridge to eave, eliminating the exposed fasteners that can leak on conventional metal roofs. This design stands up to Jonesborough’s heavy spring rains, high summer UV, and occasional snow loads. The 24–26-gauge, Kynar-coated steel we use carries a 30- to 40-year finish warranty, reflects heat to reduce cooling costs by 10–25 %, and is engineered to withstand 140 mph wind gusts—ideal for the thunderstorms common to East Tennessee.
How long can I expect a standing-seam metal roof to last?
With proper installation and minimal maintenance, a standing-seam metal roof routinely lasts 50 years or more. The concealed-fastener system prevents loosening and leaks, and the factory-applied paint finish resists chalking, fading, and rust. In Jonesborough’s moderate climate, you can realistically expect a service life two to three times longer than an asphalt-shingle roof, delivering a lower lifetime cost despite the higher upfront investment.
Are standing-seam metal roofs noisy during rain or susceptible to lightning strikes?
When installed over a solid decking and underlayment, a standing-seam roof is only marginally louder than shingles—about 6 dB difference, similar to the hum of a quiet dishwasher. If additional sound dampening is important, we can add an acoustic underlayment or rigid foam boards. As for lightning, metal roofing does not attract strikes; it simply offers a low-resistance path to ground if a strike occurs. Because metal is non-combustible, it actually provides better fire protection than many other roofing materials.
Does a standing-seam roof require special maintenance?
Maintenance is simple: keep gutters clear, remove large branches or debris after storms, and inspect flashings and sealant once a year. Unlike exposed-fastener metal panels, there are no screws to re-tighten, and the factory finish eliminates the need for repainting for decades. If a panel is ever damaged—from a falling limb, for example—it can be individually replaced without disturbing surrounding panels.
Can a standing-seam metal roof be installed over my existing shingles, and how long does installation take?
Often, yes. Local building codes allow a metal-over-shingle installation as long as the roof deck is sound and there is only one existing layer of shingles. This saves tear-off costs and keeps waste out of landfills. We install a slip-sheet or insulation board over the old shingles, then attach the metal panels with concealed clips. Most residential projects in Jonesborough take 2–4 days, while larger or more complex roofs can take up to a week. Removing old roofing adds roughly one extra day.
How do your standing-seam roofs integrate with new siding solutions?
Because we handle both roofing and siding, we can coordinate flashing details, color palettes, and profiles for a seamless exterior. The same Kynar-coated steel used on the roof is available in matching or complementary siding panels, soffits, and trim. This unified system eliminates dissimilar-metal corrosion, simplifies maintenance, and delivers a cohesive architectural look—whether you prefer a modern farmhouse style or a traditional Appalachian aesthetic.
