FAQs
What makes standing-seam metal roofing a good choice for homes in Clairfield’s climate?
Clairfield sees hot, humid summers, heavy thunderstorms, and occasional winter ice. The interlocking vertical seams on a standing-seam roof shed rain quickly, resist uplift in high winds, and don’t trap ice the way shingles can. Galvalume or aluminum panels are also coated to reflect UV heat, keeping attic temperatures lower and reducing cooling bills during our long summer season.
How long can I expect a standing-seam metal roof to last compared to asphalt shingles?
A properly installed standing-seam system will typically last 40–70 years in Clairfield, more than double the 15-25-year life of architectural shingles. The concealed fasteners stay protected from moisture, and factory-applied Kynar 500® paint finishes retain their color for decades, so you won’t need another replacement for the lifetime of most homes.
Is metal roofing noisy during rain or hail storms?
When installed over the recommended solid roof deck and underlayment, a standing-seam roof is only 2–3 dB louder than shingles—barely noticeable indoors. Many Clairfield projects add a synthetic acoustic underlayment or use thicker 24-gauge panels, further dampening sound so you can enjoy the soothing rain without excess noise.
Will a standing-seam roof increase my energy efficiency?
Yes. The reflective paint pigments and vented ridge cap can lower roof-surface temperatures by up to 50 °F. Homeowners in Clairfield report 10-25 % reductions in summer cooling costs. The tall seams also create an air space that limits heat transfer, and the smooth metal surface quickly sheds snow, preventing winter heat loss from ice dams.
How much maintenance does a standing-seam roof require?
Very little. An annual visual inspection and simple rinse with a garden hose is usually enough. Because the fasteners are concealed, you don’t need periodic screw tightening. Trim back overhanging branches, keep gutters clear, and document the roof condition after severe storms for your warranty records—most manufacturers offer 30- to 40-year finish warranties.
Can I install solar panels or snow guards on my new standing-seam roof?
Absolutely. The raised seams allow clamp-on attachments that don’t require drilling holes through the panels, preserving the weatherproof warranty. We use S-5!® clamps for solar arrays, satellite dishes, or snow-retention bars, and all accessories are matched to your panel gauge and color so the system stays watertight and visually seamless.
