FAQs
Why are metal panel roofs a good choice for homes and businesses in Pikeville?
Pikeville’s four-season climate brings hot, humid summers, heavy autumn rains, and occasional winter snow. 26- and 24-gauge steel panels with high-performance Kynar 500® paint hold up to UV exposure, resist corrosion from moisture, and easily shed snow, making them ideal for local conditions. Metal panels are also Class A fire-rated and have a 140 mph wind uplift rating, two qualities insurance companies often reward with premium discounts in Kentucky.
How long can I expect a new metal panel roof to last compared with asphalt shingles?
Architectural asphalt shingles typically last 15–25 years in our region, while properly installed standing-seam or exposed-fastener metal panels routinely exceed 40–60 years. Because the steel core is galvanized or galvalume-coated, it won’t rot, crack, or warp. The factory-applied paint system retards fading and chalking, so you could realistically replace two shingle roofs in the time a single metal roof serves your Pikeville property.
Will a metal roof be noisy during rainstorms or when hail hits?
When installed over solid roof decking and underlayment—as required by Kentucky residential code—metal panels are no louder than other roofing types. Our crews add high-density synthetic underlayment and can include an optional sound-dampening membrane that further absorbs vibration. Most homeowners report that interior noise levels during downpours are no different from their previous shingle roofs.
What is the typical cost of a metal roof replacement in Pikeville, and is financing available?
Pricing depends on panel profile, gauge, roof complexity, and substrate repairs, but most Pikeville projects fall between $8 and $13 per square foot installed. That is 1.5–2.5 times the cost of architectural shingles up-front, yet the extended service life, lower maintenance, and energy savings often make total lifetime cost lower. We partner with national lenders to offer 0% promotional financing for 12 months and fixed-rate plans up to 144 months, subject to credit approval.
How energy-efficient are metal panels, and can they lower my utility bills?
Metal roofing reflects a significant portion of solar radiation—especially in lighter "Cool Roof" colors that meet ENERGY STAR® standards. Reflectivity can reduce attic temperatures by 20–40 °F in Pikeville’s summer heat, allowing HVAC systems to cycle less. Homeowners typically see 10–25 % savings on cooling costs and may qualify for federal tax credits if the chosen panel finish meets current IRS guidelines.
What kind of warranty and maintenance schedule should I expect?
Our primary manufacturer backs the metal substrate with a 40-year limited warranty against perforation and a 30-year warranty on paint fade and chalk. Workmanship is covered by our 10-year labor warranty. Routine maintenance involves clearing gutters, removing large debris after storms, and a simple inspection every 3–5 years to check sealant at penetrations. No regular shingle-style granule loss or moss treatments are required, keeping upkeep minimal and affordable.
