FAQs
Why is metal roofing a smart choice for homes and businesses in Calhoun?
Calhoun’s hot summers, frequent thunderstorms, and the occasional hail event can shorten the life of conventional shingles. A properly installed metal roof resists wind uplift to 140 mph, is Class A fire-rated, and carries a Class 4 impact rating against hail. Metal panels also reflect much of the sun’s radiant heat, lowering attic temperatures and helping reduce cooling bills by 10–25 %—a real advantage in northwest Georgia’s climate.
How long can I expect a metal roof to last compared to traditional asphalt shingles?
Quality asphalt shingles typically need replacement every 15–20 years in our region; severe weather can shorten that span. A standing-seam or high-quality exposed-fastener metal roof, however, routinely delivers 40–70 years of service. Most manufacturers back their panels with 30–50 year material warranties, and our Rock-Solid Protection workmanship warranty adds extra peace of mind.
Will a metal roof make my home noisier when it rains?
No. Modern metal roofing is installed over a solid roof deck with underlayment and, in many cases, attic insulation—just like a shingle roof. These layers absorb sound, so interior noise levels are comparable to or even quieter than asphalt shingles. If you need extra sound dampening, we can add high-density acoustic underlayment at a minimal up-charge.
Is a metal roof too heavy for my existing structure?
Quite the opposite. Galvalume or aluminum panels weigh 1–1.5 lb per square foot, roughly one-third the weight of asphalt shingles and a fraction of concrete or clay tile. Most Calhoun homes require no structural upgrades, and the lighter load can actually lessen long-term stress on rafters and trusses.
What maintenance does a metal roof require?
Metal roofs are largely maintenance-free. We recommend an annual visual inspection—either by the homeowner from the ground or by our team—to clear debris from valleys and gutters, check sealant on flashings, and make sure fasteners are tight if using an exposed-fastener system. Unlike shingles, metal won’t crack, curl, or shed granules, so upkeep costs remain low for decades.
How much does a metal roof cost in the Calhoun area, and are there any financial incentives?
Installed pricing in Gordon County generally ranges from $6.50–$11.00 per square foot, depending on panel profile, paint finish, roof complexity, and any decking repairs needed. Although metal costs more up-front than shingles, its longer service life means lower lifetime cost. Because metal roofing meets ENERGY STAR criteria, you may qualify for Georgia Power rebates or federal tax credits on qualifying reflective finishes. We also offer zero-down, low-interest financing to spread the investment over 12–144 months.
