FAQs
What makes your energy-efficient roofing systems a good fit for Alcoa’s climate?
East Tennessee experiences hot, humid summers, cold winters, and frequent storms. Our ENERGY STAR® rated shingles and cool-metal panels are designed with high solar reflectance and thermal emittance, so they bounce back up to 70 % of the sun’s heat and release any absorbed heat quickly. This keeps attic temperatures lower in July and August, while the added foam-backed insulation limits heat loss during January cold snaps—giving Alcoa homeowners year-round comfort and lower HVAC run-times.
How much can I expect to save on utility bills after replacing my roof with an energy-efficient option?
Savings vary by house size, attic ventilation, and thermostat settings, but our customers in the Alcoa area typically report 15 – 25 % lower cooling costs and 10 – 15 % lower heating costs. On a 2,000 sq ft home with an average $200/month electric bill, that translates to roughly $300–$500 in yearly savings, allowing the upgraded roof to pay for itself in 5-10 years when combined with available incentives.
Which roofing materials do you offer for energy-efficient replacements and how do they work?
1. Cool asphalt shingles: Granules infused with special pigments reflect infrared radiation. 2. Standing-seam metal panels: A baked-on Kynar® coating reflects sunlight and the metal’s high emissivity quickly releases residual heat. 3. Synthetic slate and shake: Engineered polymers include UV-reflective additives and can be paired with rigid insulation boards. All options are installed over a radiant-barrier underlayment that blocks up to 97 % of radiant heat transfer, boosting overall performance.
How long does a typical energy-efficient roof replacement take in Alcoa?
For an average 2,000 sq ft single-family home, tear-off and installation generally take 1–3 working days, weather permitting. Metal systems may require an additional day for onsite panel forming and custom flashing. We handle permitting with the City of Alcoa and perform a final magnetic nail sweep and blower-door check to ensure your new roof is leak-free and energy-tight.
Are there incentives or rebates available in Alcoa for installing an energy-efficient roof?
Yes. Homeowners can claim the federal 25C Energy-Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit—30 % of material costs (up to $1,200 for shingles or $2,000 for metal and insulation). Tennessee Valley Authority’s EnergyRight® program occasionally offers $200–$400 rebates for cool-roof installations, and some insurance carriers in Blount County give premium discounts for Class 4 impact-rated metal roofs. We provide all necessary documentation to help you capture these savings.
What kind of warranty and maintenance do your energy-efficient roofs require?
Our cool shingles carry a 50-year limited manufacturer warranty and a 15-year algae-resistance warranty; cool-metal systems come with a 40-year finish warranty and a lifetime workmanship warranty from us. Maintenance is minimal—an annual visual inspection, clearing debris from valleys and gutters, and a soft-wash every 5-7 years to remove pollen buildup. Because the reflective coatings are integral to the material, you never need to repaint or reseal to maintain energy performance.
