FAQs
How does a metal roof perform in Andersonville’s weather conditions?
Metal roofing is engineered to handle the heavy rain, high winds, and temperature swings we see in Andersonville. Interlocking panels and concealed fasteners create a watertight barrier, while steel and aluminum substrates provide wind ratings of 120–150 mph—well above local code. A factory-applied Kynar 500® or SMP paint finish resists UV fading and corrosion, so the roof won’t crack or peel even after years of humidity and sun exposure.
What style and color options are available to match my home?
Our Strength & Style line includes standing-seam panels for a sleek, contemporary look, as well as metal shingles, shakes, and tiles that emulate slate, cedar, or Spanish clay. More than 30 standard colors—plus custom hues—are available, all backed by a 30- to 40-year finish warranty. You can choose low-gloss, matte, or high-reflectivity coatings to complement historic cottages in Andersonville as easily as modern builds.
Is metal roofing more expensive than asphalt shingles, and what’s the long-term value?
Up-front, metal roofs cost 2–3 times more than standard architectural shingles. However, metal lasts 50+ years versus 15–20 for asphalt, eliminating two or three re-roof cycles. Energy savings of 10–25 % from reflective coatings, potential insurance discounts for Class 4 impact resistance, and a resale value boost of roughly 6 % typically offset the initial premium within 8–10 years.
Will a metal roof make my home noisy in rain or hail?
When installed over solid decking with quality underlayment (often plus your existing roof), metal is no louder than shingles. The sheathing, insulation, and attic airspace absorb sound. In fact, many homeowners report their new metal roof is quieter than their old asphalt system, especially with our optional high-density acoustic underlayment.
How energy-efficient is metal roofing in Andersonville’s climate?
Cool-roof coatings reflect solar radiation, lowering roof surface temperatures by up to 60 °F on summer afternoons. This can reduce attic heat gain and cut HVAC usage 10–25 %. In winter, a continuous metal surface sheds snow quickly, minimizing ice dams. All products meet ENERGY STAR® Cool Roof criteria, and some qualify for federal tax credits when installed with the proper pigment technology.
What is the installation timeline and what maintenance does a metal roof require?
Most Andersonville homes are completed in 2–4 days, similar to shingle replacement. We remove old materials (if necessary), install underlayment, flashing, panels, and trim, then perform a final inspection. Maintenance is minimal: an annual rinse with a garden hose, clearing gutters, and checking for tree limb abrasion. Paint warranties cover fading and chalking for up to 40 years, and fasteners are stainless or concealed to prevent rusting, so you won’t need periodic re-nailing like with shakes or shingles.
