FAQs
Why should I choose a metal roof over traditional asphalt shingles for my La Follette home?
Metal roofs last 40–70 years—two to three times longer than quality asphalt shingles—so you avoid multiple tear-offs and disposal costs. They also resist the high winds, heavy rain, and occasional hail that East Tennessee receives, and they are rated Class A for fire resistance, an important safety benefit in wooded areas around Norris Lake. Finally, metal reflects solar heat, which can cut cooling costs by 10–25 % during La Follette’s hot, humid summers.
How long does a typical metal-roof replacement project take from start to finish?
For an average 2,000-sq-ft single-family residence, the replacement process usually takes 2–4 days once materials are on-site. Day 1 is for tear-off and inspection of the decking, Day 2 for underlayment, flashing, and most panels, and Day 3–4 for trimming, ridge caps, and site clean-up. Complex rooflines, hidden decking damage, or weather delays can add a day or two, but we confirm the schedule up front and keep you informed daily.
Will installing a metal roof actually lower my energy bills in La Follette’s climate?
Yes. Modern metal panels come with high-reflectivity paint systems that bounce back a significant portion of the sun’s radiant heat. Independent Oak Ridge National Laboratory tests show summer attic temperatures 30–50 °F cooler under a light-colored metal roof vs. dark asphalt. Homeowners typically see 10–25 % savings on air-conditioning costs, and in winter the roof’s tight interlocking seams reduce heat loss via air infiltration.
What siding options do you offer, and which performs best in East Tennessee weather?
We install insulated vinyl, fiber-cement (James Hardie), engineered wood, and metal board-and-batten siding. For La Follette’s humid summers, cold snaps, and potential wind-driven rain from tropical remnants, fiber-cement offers superior dimensional stability, Class A fire resistance, and 30-yr paint warranties. Insulated vinyl is a budget-friendly alternative with R-value up to 3.0 and colors that never need painting. We provide side-by-side cost, maintenance, and warranty comparisons to help you decide.
Can you help with insurance claims if my roof or siding was damaged by a storm?
Absolutely. We perform a free, photo-documented inspection, meet with your adjuster on-site, and provide the Xactimate estimates most carriers require. Our familiarity with Tennessee’s “matching” statute helps ensure all damaged materials—roof, siding, gutters, or trim—are covered for a uniform appearance. Once the claim is approved, we start work promptly and bill your insurer directly, so you only pay your deductible.
What warranties and maintenance support come with your metal-roof and siding installations?
All standing-seam and metal-shingle roofs carry a 40-yr manufacturer finish warranty and a limited lifetime workmanship warranty from us. We include a free annual inspection for the first five years to catch caulk, fastener, or sealant issues before they become leaks. For siding, manufacturer coverage ranges from 25 yrs (insulated vinyl) to 30 yrs (fiber-cement) against fading, peeling, and delamination, plus our 10-yr workmanship warranty. Detailed maintenance guides and priority service scheduling are provided at project close-out.
