FAQs
What advantages do metal roofs offer for homes and businesses in Tracy City’s climate?
Tracy City experiences hot, humid summers, heavy rain, occasional hail, and strong winds coming off the Plateau. A properly coated steel or aluminum roof stands up to all of these conditions far better than asphalt shingles. It will not warp, crack, or absorb moisture, is rated to withstand 120-mph wind gusts, and sheds rain and snow quickly because of its smooth surface. Reflective finishes also bounce back much of the sun’s heat, lowering attic temperatures and reducing summer cooling costs by 10-25%.
How long will my new metal roof last, and what kind of warranty do you provide?
Metal is one of the longest-lasting roofing materials available. Our standing-seam and ribbed-panel systems have a service life of 40–70 years, depending on the gauge and coating you choose. We back every installation with a 40-year manufacturer’s paint warranty against chalking, fading, and corrosion, plus a 25-year workmanship warranty that covers leaks related to our labor. Routine inspections are all that is usually required to enjoy decades of worry-free protection.
Can my metal roof or metal siding be installed over existing shingles or wood siding?
In many cases, yes. Metal panels are lightweight—50–70% lighter than asphalt shingles—so they can often be installed over one layer of sound roofing or siding, saving you tear-off costs and keeping material out of landfills. We will first inspect the sheathing or framing, verify building-code compliance, and add furring strips or a radiant barrier if needed to create a level, ventilated surface. If the substrate is damaged or there are already two roofing layers, we will recommend removal before installation.
Will a metal roof be noisy during rain or attract lightning strikes?
Modern metal roofs are no louder than any other roof type. Beneath the panels are roof decking, underlayment, and attic insulation that absorb sound. Most homeowners notice no difference in indoor noise levels after the switch. As for lightning, metal does not increase the likelihood of a strike. If lightning does hit, the energy is safely dissipated across the roof and into the ground because metal is non-combustible, actually reducing fire risk compared with wood-based roofing.
What design options do you offer for metal roofing and siding in Tracy City?
We stock 26- and 29-gauge panels in more than 20 Energy Star–rated colors, plus Galvalume and copper finishes. Roofing profiles include classic exposed-fastener panels, concealed-fastener standing seam, and specialty shakes or shingles that mimic wood or slate. For siding, you can choose vertical board-and-batten, horizontal lap, or modern architectural panels, all cut to length for fast installation and minimal waste. Trim, ridge caps, gutters, and soffit panels are custom-fabricated at our local shop to ensure a perfect color match.
What maintenance is required to keep my metal roof or siding performing its best?
Maintenance is simple: twice a year (and after severe storms) visually inspect for accumulated leaves, branches, or dirt, especially in valleys and gutters. Rinse with a garden hose and a mild, non-abrasive detergent if pollen or soot builds up. Check exposed fasteners every 5–10 years and have any loose screws retightened. Touch-up paint is available for scratches, but because panels are factory-finished, repainting is rarely needed. If you schedule a professional inspection every 3–5 years, your metal roof and siding will continue to protect and beautify your property for decades.
