FAQs
Why is a metal roof a good choice for homes and businesses in Allardt?
Allardt experiences humid summers, heavy rainfall, and the occasional severe windstorm. Standing-seam and screw-down metal panels are engineered to shed rain quickly, resist uplift to 140 mph or more, and will not rot or grow mildew. They also reflect much of the sun’s radiant heat, helping keep attics cooler in our warm Tennessee climate and lowering summer AC bills by 10–25 % compared with dark asphalt shingles.
How long can I expect a metal roof to last?
Properly installed metal roofs routinely last 40–70 years, more than double the life of a typical architectural shingle roof (15–25 years). The panels are galvanized or Galvalume-coated to prevent rust, and factory finishes carry 30- to 40-year paint warranties. Fasteners and flashing are the only components that may eventually need replacement, usually after 20–30 years.
Will a metal roof make my home noisier or hotter?
No. When installed over a solid deck with underlayment—standard practice in Fentress County—a metal roof is no louder than shingles during a rainstorm. As for heat, the reflective paint systems on today’s panels can reduce surface temperatures by up to 50 °F compared with dark shingles. Adequate attic ventilation completes the system, preventing heat buildup and lowering HVAC load.
How much does a metal roof cost in the Allardt area?
Installed prices in 2024 generally run $7–$12 per square foot for exposed-fastener panels and $10–$16 for standing-seam, depending on roof complexity, panel gauge, and color. That is 1.5–2.5 × the upfront cost of architectural shingles, but the life-cycle cost is usually lower because you avoid one or even two tear-offs over the life of the building, and energy savings can offset a portion of the premium.
What maintenance does a metal roof require?
Maintenance is minimal: (1) Keep valleys and gutters clear of leaves, especially in the fall to prevent ponding. (2) Every 3–5 years, inspect fasteners on exposed-screw systems and replace any that have backed out; standing-seam roofs eliminate this step. (3) Wash off pollen or dirt with a garden hose and mild detergent if aesthetics demand it. No sealing, painting, or moss treatment is normally required.
Can a new metal roof be installed over my existing shingles?
Often, yes. Tennessee residential code allows a single layer of roofing over an existing layer if the deck is sound and local weight limits are met. A slip sheet and 1×4 wood battens (or a direct-to-deck underlayment) are installed first, providing a flat substrate and an air space for added ventilation. However, if your current roof has two layers, shows decking rot, or you want the manufacturer’s full warranty, a complete tear-off is recommended. Your estimator will inspect the attic and deck and advise the best option.
