FAQs
What is standing-seam metal roofing and why is it a smart choice for Altamont properties?
Standing-seam metal roofing consists of long, interlocking panels that run from ridge to eave with raised vertical seams (the “standing” seams) that hide all fasteners. The concealed-fastener system prevents leaks and gives the roof a sleek, modern look. In Altamont’s four-season climate, the 24- or 26-gauge steel we install resists wind uplift, drifting snow, hail, and summer UV far better than asphalt shingles. A high-performance Kynar 500® paint finish keeps colors vibrant for decades, and the roof’s 40- to 50-year life span means most owners will never need another reroof.
How does standing-seam metal perform in Altamont’s snow, ice, and wind conditions?
Our panel systems are tested to UL 580 Class 90 for wind uplift and engineered to withstand gusts of 140 mph—well above local code requirements. Metal’s slick surface sheds snow quickly; when snow guards are added in strategic rows, snow slides in controlled amounts to protect gutters and walkways. Because seams are vertical and raised, freeze-thaw cycles can’t force water back under the panels the way they can with shingles. A high-temperature synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield at eaves give an extra layer of protection where ice dams commonly form in Altamont winters.
Can I match my siding to my new metal roof, and what aesthetic options are available?
Yes. We fabricate both roofing and vertical siding panels from the same coils, so you can specify identical colors, textures, and panel widths for a cohesive façade. Choose from 30+ standard PVDF colors, metallic finishes, or weathered-steel looks. Panel widths from 12" to 18" and seam heights of 1" or 1.5" allow you to tailor the shadow lines. For rustic projects we offer board-and-batten-style metal siding; for contemporary builds we recommend flat pan panels with minimal ribbing. Trim, fascia, and soffit accessories are custom-bent in-house for a perfect color match.
How long does installation take and will my landscaping or daily routine be disrupted?
A typical single-family roof (2,500 ft²) takes 3-5 days from tear-off to final inspection; adding matching metal siding on gable ends and dormers may extend the project by another 2-3 days. Because panels are cut to length on site with a portable roll former, there is less job-site noise and waste than with shingle projects. We use ground-level dump trailers instead of roofing dumpsters to avoid driveway damage, lay tarps to protect flower beds, and perform a magnetic nail sweep each evening so you can safely use your yard and driveway throughout the project.
What maintenance does a standing-seam metal roof or siding system require?
Maintenance is minimal. An annual visual check from the ground is usually sufficient. If tree debris collects in valleys or behind chimneys, a low-pressure rinse with a garden hose clears it. Because all fasteners are concealed, there are no exposed screws to back out or replace. The PVDF coating is chalk- and fade-resistant, but if airborne contaminants dull the finish, a simple wash with mild soap restores the gloss. Unlike wood siding, metal panels never need painting, sealing, or pest treatments, saving thousands in upkeep over the system’s life.
What kind of warranty, energy savings, and return on investment can I expect?
Our Altamont installations carry a 40-year finish warranty and a 25-year workmanship warranty. The high-albedo paint system reflects up to 70 % of solar heat, reducing summer cooling costs by 10-15 %. When paired with an optional vented nail-base insulation, customers have seen winter heating savings as well. According to the Metal Construction Association, metal roofing recoups 85-95 % of its cost in resale value—significantly higher than asphalt. Combined with insurance discounts for Class A fire resistance and superior wind ratings, most homeowners realize a full return on investment within 10-12 years.
