FAQs
Why should I choose a metal roofing system when replacing my roof in Pelham?
Metal roofs offer exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and long-term value. They can last 40–70 years—two to three times longer than traditional asphalt shingles—resist fire, mildew, and insects, and reflect solar heat to help reduce summer cooling bills. In Pelham’s variable climate, the superior wind and impact resistance of metal also helps protect your home from severe storms and hail events common in the area.
How long can I expect a new metal roof to last compared with an asphalt roof?
An asphalt shingle roof typically lasts 15–25 years with proper maintenance. By contrast, high-quality standing-seam or metal shingle systems routinely perform for 40–70 years. Many manufacturers back their products with 30- to 50-year warranties, and some finishes carry limited lifetime coverage against fading or chalking. This extended service life significantly reduces the number of roof replacements you’ll face over your home’s lifetime.
Is a metal roof strong enough to handle Pelham’s weather conditions, including hail and high winds?
Yes. Most modern metal roofing panels are UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated—the highest rating for hail resistance—and are engineered to resist uplift pressures of 140–160 mph or more when installed to manufacturer specifications. The interlocking panels prevent wind-driven rain from entering, and factory-applied coatings protect against corrosion in Pelham’s humid summers. Properly installed snow-guards can also manage winter roof loads if heavy snow or ice occurs.
What does a metal roof replacement usually cost in Pelham, and do you offer financing?
Installed costs generally fall between $8 and $14 per square foot for screw-down ribbed panels and $12 to $18 per square foot for premium standing-seam systems. Exact pricing depends on panel profile, substrate gauge, flashing complexity, insulation upgrades, and tear-off requirements. We provide free, no-obligation estimates and partner with several lenders to offer low-interest loans and same-as-cash promotional financing, making it easier to spread the investment over time.
How long will the replacement process take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
For an average single-family home (2,000–3,000 sq ft of roof area), a full tear-off and metal roof installation typically takes 2–4 working days, weather permitting. Our crew protects landscaping, uses magnetic rollers to pick up nails each evening, and coordinates material deliveries to minimize driveway blockages. You can remain in your home throughout the project; brief periods of hammering and cutting noise are unavoidable, but most residents find the disruption modest and short-lived.
Can a new metal roof improve my home’s energy efficiency or insurance premiums?
Absolutely. ENERGY STAR-qualified metal roofs with high-reflectance, Cool Roof coatings can lower attic temperatures by up to 30 °F and cut summer cooling costs by 10-25 %. Some insurers in Alabama and New Hampshire (depending on which Pelham you call home) offer 5–35 % discounts for UL 2218 Class 4 impact-resistant roofs because they reduce hail claims. Ask your carrier about available incentives; we will supply all required certification documents after installation.
