FAQs
What is metal shingle profile roofing and how is it different from traditional shingles?
Metal shingle profile roofing combines the classic appearance of dimensional asphalt shingles with the strength of interlocking steel or aluminum panels. Each shingle is stamped to mimic wood-shake or architectural shingles, making it HOA-friendly, yet it resists fading, cracking, granule loss, and rot far better than asphalt. Weighing roughly 0.9 lb per sq ft—about one-third the weight of asphalt—it can often be installed over an existing roof without reinforcing the deck.
How well do metal shingles stand up to Allardt’s weather?
Allardt experiences hot, humid summers, heavy rain, hail, and occasional 90-mph winds. Our metal shingles are UL 2218 Class IV impact-rated and tested for wind speeds up to 140 mph. A concealed fastener system locks each panel on all sides to prevent uplift, while a Galvalume substrate and Kynar 500® finish protect against corrosion in Tennessee’s humid climate. Optional snow guards control sliding ice during the rare winter storm.
Are metal roofs noisy when it rains or hails?
No. The panels are installed over solid decking, underlayment, and attic insulation that absorb sound. Independent tests show a metal roof over plywood is only about 6 dB louder than asphalt—below the threshold most people can detect indoors. For extra quiet, we can add a synthetic underlayment or acoustic mat at minimal cost.
Will a metal shingle roof help lower my energy bills?
Yes. The high-reflectance Kynar 500® finish deflects up to 70 % of the sun’s infrared heat, keeping the attic cooler and trimming air-conditioning demand by 10–25 % during Allardt’s peak-summer months. Metal also cools off quickly after sunset, and when paired with a vented ridge system it promotes continuous airflow that further reduces HVAC loads—often qualifying for utility rebates or federal ENERGY STAR tax credits.
What is the expected lifespan and warranty of a metal shingle roof?
A properly installed metal shingle roof lasts 50 years or more—twice to three times the life of premium asphalt. Our system carries a transferable limited lifetime warranty on the panels and a 30-year chalk-and-fade finish warranty. Over a typical ownership period, this means you would likely replace an asphalt roof twice before a metal roof needs attention, resulting in a 20–40 % lower lifetime cost and a resale value boost of 70–80 % of the installation price.
Can metal shingles be installed over my existing roof?
In most cases, yes. If there is only one layer of asphalt and the decking is sound, we can install metal shingles directly on top, saving tear-off labor, landfill fees, and mess. The lightweight panels stay well within local code limits, and the new ridge vent system allows any residual moisture in the old roof to escape. If multiple layers or deck damage are present, we will recommend removing the old material before installation.
