FAQs
What advantages do metal panel roofs offer in Bean Station’s climate?
Bean Station sees hot, humid summers, occasional heavy rains, and the high-wind remnants of tropical storms that move up the Tennessee Valley. Steel or aluminum panels with baked-on Kynar® coatings resist corrosion from humidity, won’t warp in heat, and carry wind-uplift ratings of 140 mph or higher. A metal roof also sheds rain quickly, reducing the chance of leaks and mold. In winter, the smooth surface helps snow slide off before ice dams can form.
How long will a metal panel roof installed by Roofing Done Right last?
Our 26- and 24-gauge panels are warrantied for 40–50 years against manufacturing defects and surface chalk & fade, but real-world life expectancy is 60+ years with minimal upkeep. Because we fasten panels over a high-temperature synthetic underlayment and use color-matched, concealed screws at all critical points, the system stays watertight far longer than traditional asphalt shingles, which typically need replacement every 15–20 years.
Will a metal roof help lower my energy bills?
Yes. Light-colored, high-reflectance finishes certified by ENERGY STAR® bounce back much of the sun’s radiant heat, keeping attic temperatures up to 30 °F cooler. That translates into a 10–25 % reduction in summer cooling costs for most Bean Station homes. We also offer optional Above-Sheathing Ventilation (ASV) battens that create a ventilated air space under the panels for even greater efficiency.
Are metal roofs noisy during rain or hail storms?
When properly installed over solid decking plus underlayment—our standard practice—the sound difference between metal and shingles is negligible (about 3–6 decibels). The plywood deck absorbs vibration, and the attic insulation further dampens noise. Homeowners usually notice the rain more on a porch or barn with open framing; on a residence with a full roof deck, most people can’t tell a difference.
What kind of maintenance does a metal panel roof require?
Maintenance is simple: (1) Inspect twice a year and after severe storms for debris or fallen branches, (2) keep gutters clear so water can drain freely, (3) rinse off pollen or dust with a garden hose if the roof is accessible from the ground, and (4) have us retighten exposed fasteners at the 15-year mark if you chose an exposed-fastener agricultural panel. Concealed-fastener standing seam systems may never need that step.
How does the cost compare to shingles, and do you offer financing?
Upfront, metal panels cost roughly 2–3 × more than architectural shingles. However, because they last three times longer, the lifetime cost is lower. You also gain higher resale value—Bean Station appraisers report a 5–6 % bump for homes with metal roofs. Roofing Done Right partners with local lenders to provide low-interest financing and zero-down options, so you can spread payments over 12–144 months while enjoying immediate energy savings and durability.
