FAQs
How does the intense Tennessee sun affect metal roofing in Beersheba Springs?
Metal roofing is engineered to withstand high UV exposure, but the blazing Tennessee sun can accelerate color fading if lower-quality coatings are used. Our panels come with Kynar 500®/PVDF finishes that reflect UV rays, minimize heat absorption, and resist chalking or fading for 30+ years, making them ideal for Beersheba Springs’ sunny climate.
Will a metal roof make my home hotter during summer?
No. High-quality metal roofs are typically coated with reflective pigments that bounce a large portion of solar radiation back into the atmosphere. Combined with a vented attic and proper insulation, a metal roof can reduce cooling costs by 10–25 % compared with dark asphalt shingles in the same Beersheba Springs conditions.
Can metal roofing handle the heavy rains and occasional hail we get on the Plateau?
Absolutely. Interlocking panels and concealed fasteners create a watertight barrier, and the 24- to 26-gauge steel we install has a Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—so it resists denting from hail up to 2" in diameter. All seams are factory-sealed to prevent wind-driven rain intrusion common during spring storms.
Is a metal roof noisy when it rains?
When installed over solid decking with underlayment—our standard practice—the sound level inside is comparable to or quieter than asphalt shingles. The attic insulation and air gap between roof deck and living space further dampen noise, so you can enjoy Beersheba Springs’ summer showers without extra clatter.
How long does a metal roof last compared to traditional shingles in this area?
Asphalt shingles generally last 15–20 years in the Cumberland Plateau’s mix of sun, wind, and humidity. A properly installed metal roof lasts 40–70 years, backed by a 30- to 50-year manufacturer warranty. This longevity offsets the higher upfront cost while offering decades of low maintenance protection.
What maintenance is required for a metal roof in Beersheba Springs?
Maintenance is minimal: keep gutters clear, trim back overhanging branches, and visually inspect the roof each spring and fall for debris or sealant wear around penetrations. Because panels are coated with rust-inhibiting finishes, you won’t need periodic sealing or granule replacement like shingles. If needed, we offer an affordable annual inspection plan for added peace of mind.
