FAQs
What are the main advantages of choosing a metal roofing system for my Knoxville home or business?
Metal roofs provide exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and low maintenance compared with traditional asphalt shingles. They resist high winds, hail, and heavy rains common to East Tennessee, and they are non-combustible—an added safety benefit. A properly installed metal system can lower cooling costs by reflecting solar heat and can easily last 40–70 years, making it a long-term, eco-friendly solution.
How long will a metal roof from Roofing Done Right realistically last in Knoxville’s climate?
With quality panels, professional installation, and routine inspections, our metal roofs typically last 50 years or more. The baked-on finishes resist fading and corrosion, and the concealed-fastener systems we use minimize the risk of leaks. Even with Knoxville’s humidity, summer heat, and occasional winter ice, you can expect decades of performance with only minimal upkeep.
Is a metal roof noisier during rain or storms?
No. When installed correctly over solid decking and underlayment, a metal roof is about as quiet as an asphalt roof. The insulation in modern attics, combined with our high-density synthetic underlayment, dampens sound effectively. Customers are often surprised to learn that interior noise levels remain virtually unchanged after the switch to metal.
How does the cost of a metal roof compare to asphalt shingles, and why is it considered a good investment?
Up-front, a premium steel or aluminum roof can cost 2–3 times more than a standard shingle roof. However, asphalt typically needs replacement every 15–20 years, while metal lasts 50+ years. Factor in lower energy bills, potential insurance discounts, and higher resale value, and a metal roof often has the lowest life-cycle cost of any roofing option in Knoxville.
What is the installation timeline, and will I need to move out during the project?
Most residential projects are completed in 2–4 days, weather permitting. We tear off the old roof, inspect the decking, install waterproof underlayment, apply flashings, and secure the metal panels with hidden fasteners. You can stay in your home throughout the process; we keep work areas clean and safe and perform a full magnetic nail sweep before leaving each day.
What warranties and maintenance requirements come with your metal roofing systems?
Roofing Done Right provides a 40-year manufacturer’s finish warranty and a 10-year workmanship warranty. Maintenance is straightforward: keep gutters clear, remove debris such as branches or wet leaves, and schedule an inspection every few years or after severe storms. No periodic sealing or granule replacement is needed—just simple visual checks and prompt attention to any minor issues to protect your long-term investment.
