FAQs
What are the main advantages of choosing sleek metal panels over asphalt shingles for an Andersonville roof replacement?
Sleek metal panels outlast shingles by two to three times, routinely providing 50+ years of service. They shed snow and ice quickly, resist 140-mph winds, and will not crack or curl under the freeze-thaw cycles common near Lake Michigan. Metal also reflects much of the summer sun, lowering attic temperatures and reducing cooling costs by up to 25 %. Because panels are interlocked, they offer superior leak protection and are rated Class A for fire, which can help with insurance premiums.
How long does the replacement process take for a typical Andersonville home?
For an average 2,000-sq-ft residence, our crew usually completes removal of the old roofing, installation of the underlayment, and placement of the new metal panels in three to five working days. Projects with complex dormers or structural repairs can add a day or two. We handle all required City of Chicago permits and schedule debris removal so disruption to your household and the neighborhood is minimal.
Are metal panel roofs noisy when it rains or hails?
No. Modern metal roofing is installed over a solid decking and a high-density underlayment that absorbs sound. Inside the home, rain noise is typically no louder than on an asphalt roof and is often quieter than on traditional cedar shakes. If additional sound dampening is desired, we can add an acoustic membrane for an extra level of insulation.
Will a metal roof improve the energy efficiency of my Andersonville property?
Yes. Our panels are coated with a Cool Roof infrared-reflective finish that sends a significant portion of solar heat back into the atmosphere. Homeowners report summertime attic temperatures 30–40 °F lower than with dark shingles, leading to noticeable reductions in air-conditioning run time. In winter, the continuous panels and hidden fasteners limit heat loss through seams, contributing to better overall thermal performance.
What kind of lifespan and warranty do your sleek metal panels carry?
The panels are fabricated from 24-gauge galvanized steel or 0.032-inch aluminum, both rated for 50-70 years of service. Factory Kynar 500® paint finishes include a 30-year fade and chalk warranty. We provide a 40-year manufacturer’s material warranty and a 10-year workmanship warranty that covers labor and flashing integrity. Optional extended labor warranties up to 25 years are available for a nominal fee.
How much does a metal panel roof replacement cost in Andersonville, and do you offer financing?
Costs vary with roof size, pitch, and material (steel vs. aluminum), but most projects fall between $9 and $14 per square foot installed. For a 2,000-sq-ft roof, that equates to roughly $18,000–$28,000 before any utility or insurance incentives. We partner with two local lenders to offer zero-down financing, terms from 12 to 144 months, and APRs starting at 5.99 %, allowing you to spread the investment over a comfortable payment schedule.
