FAQs
How can energy-efficient metal roofing panels lower my utility bills in Calhoun?
Our cool-roof metal panels are coated with highly reflective pigments that bounce back up to 70% of the sun’s heat. In Calhoun’s humid subtropical climate, that means attic temperatures drop 30–40 °F and air-conditioning demand can fall by 15–25%, translating into noticeable savings on summer electric bills.
Which metal panel profiles and finishes are most energy-efficient for homes in this area?
Standing-seam Galvalume panels with a Kynar 500® "cool" finish rank highest. They carry Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) ratings of 78+ in lighter colors and maintain emissivity above 0.85, both of which exceed ENERGY STAR® requirements for steep-slope roofs. We also offer snap-lock rib panels and corrugated options with similar reflective ceramic pigments if a traditional farm-house look is desired.
Won’t a metal roof make my house hotter during Calhoun’s 90 °F summers?
No. Modern energy-efficient metal roofs are engineered to reflect, not absorb, solar radiation. The panels are installed over a ventilated batten or radiant-barrier underlayment that creates an air gap, further reducing heat transfer into the living space. Field studies by Oak Ridge National Laboratory show interior temperatures under cool-metal roofs are typically 15 °F cooler than under dark asphalt shingles.
How long does installation take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A typical 2,500-sq-ft home in Calhoun takes 2–3 days for tear-off and underlayment, plus another 2–3 days to fasten and seam the new panels. Because much of the fabrication is done off-site, noise and debris are limited, and our crew schedules around peak driveway and school-bus times to minimize inconvenience.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available for energy-efficient metal roofs in Georgia?
Yes. The Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) offers low-interest energy-improvement loans, and households may claim the 30% federal Residential Clean Energy Credit (Section 25D) on qualifying cool-roof systems through 2032. Many local utilities, including Georgia Power, also provide $0.10-per-sq-ft rebates for ENERGY STAR-certified metal roofing.
How do metal panels stand up to Calhoun’s thunderstorms, hail, and high winds?
Our 24-gauge steel panels are impact-rated Class 4, resisting hailstones up to 2 inches without cosmetic damage. Concealed fastener systems are laboratory-tested to UL 580 and Miami-Dade wind protocols, with uplift resistance beyond 150 mph—well above Gordon County’s 90-mph building code. The interlocking seams also shed rain quickly, preventing the leaks common with older asphalt shingles.
