FAQs
Why should I choose a modern metal roofing system for my home or business in Allardt?
Modern metal roofs offer unmatched durability, energy efficiency, and low maintenance compared with asphalt shingles. In Allardt, where hot, humid summers and occasional high-wind storms are common, metal panels resist cracking, warping, and wind uplift up to 140 mph. They also reflect solar heat, reducing cooling bills by up to 25 %, and come with 40- to 50-year material warranties—often double the lifespan of traditional roofs.
How long can I expect a metal roof to last in the Upper Cumberland climate?
With proper installation and periodic inspections, a standing-seam or concealed-fastener metal roof typically lasts 50 years or more. The galvanized or Galvalume® steel we install is coated to resist corrosion from humidity and acid rain, while the baked-on Kynar® paint finish prevents color fade for 30+ years. Routine maintenance usually involves nothing more than clearing debris from valleys and gutters once or twice a year.
Will a metal roof make my house hotter or noisier during rain?
No. Modern metal systems are installed over a solid roof deck with underlayment and optional rigid insulation, creating a thermal break that actually keeps attics cooler than dark asphalt shingles. Sound transmission is also dampened by the deck and insulation, so rain noise inside is comparable to—or quieter than—what you hear with traditional roofing materials.
What metal roofing profiles, colors, and finishes are available?
We offer standing-seam panels (the sleek, contemporary look), corrugated agricultural panels, and stone-coated metal shingles that mimic slate or shake. More than 30 standard colors are in stock—everything from classic Forest Green to modern Matte Black—and custom hues can be special-ordered. All colors feature a high-performance PVDF coating that resists chalking and fading under Tennessee’s intense UV exposure.
Is a metal roof environmentally friendly and energy efficient?
Yes. Our panels contain 25-35 % recycled steel and are 100 % recyclable at end of life, diverting waste from landfills. Their high solar reflectivity and emissivity lower cooling loads, which can qualify homeowners for ENERGY STAR® tax credits. Additionally, metal roofing provides an ideal substrate for solar panel mounting because it outlasts PV modules, eliminating future tear-offs.
What does the installation process look like, and how long will it take?
After a free on-site assessment, we take precise measurements and fabricate panels locally to reduce lead time. On installation day, we remove existing roofing (if required), inspect/repair the deck, lay an ice-and-water shield plus synthetic underlayment, and then secure the metal panels with concealed clips or screws. Most residential projects in Allardt are completed in 2–4 days, weather permitting, and every system is backed by a 5-year workmanship guarantee in addition to manufacturer warranties.
