FAQs
What metal roofing profiles and materials do you install in Clairfield?
We offer three main profiles—standing-seam panels, exposed-fastener panels, and metal shingles. Each can be fabricated in 26-, 24-, or 22-gauge galvanized or Galvalume steel, as well as .032- and .040-inch aluminum. For premium projects we also supply copper and zinc. All panels are roll-formed locally to match the exact length of your roof sections, reducing seams and potential leak points.
How well does a metal roof perform in Clairfield’s climate?
Clairfield sees hot, humid summers, heavy rain in spring, and occasional winter ice. Metal roofing’s interlocking panels shed rain quickly, resist 120-mph wind uplift, and have Class A fire ratings—ideal for our lightning-prone storms. High-quality coatings reflect solar heat, lowering attic temperatures by up to 25 °F during July and August. In winter, the smooth surface helps snow and ice slide off before ice dams can form.
How long can I expect a metal roof to last compared with asphalt shingles?
A properly installed steel or aluminum roof in Clairfield will last 40–70 years; copper can exceed a century. Conventional architectural shingles average 15–25 years in our region. Metal also retains its appearance better because the baked-on Kynar 500® or SMP finish resists fading and mildew that often plagues shingles in our humid environment.
Will a metal roof lower my energy bills?
Yes. Light-colored or specially coated metal roofs reflect 60–70 % of solar radiation, reducing cooling demand by 10–25 % according to Oak Ridge National Laboratory studies. Many colors we install are Energy Star-listed, making you eligible for periodic utility rebates. We also offer vented ridge cap and above-sheathing ventilation assemblies that further cut attic heat gain.
What does a metal roof cost in the Clairfield area?
Installed prices vary with profile, gauge, and roof complexity, but most projects fall between $8.50 and $13.50 per square foot for painted standing-seam steel, including tear-off of one existing layer. Exposed-fastener panels are roughly 15 % less, while copper or zinc can exceed $20 per square foot. Although upfront investment is higher than shingles, life-cycle cost is lower because you avoid at least one full replacement and benefit from energy savings and higher resale value.
What maintenance will my metal roof need?
Metal roofs are largely maintenance-free. We recommend an annual inspection to clear debris from valleys and gutters, tighten any exposed fasteners (on corrugated systems), and check sealant at penetrations. The factory finish is warrantied for up to 40 years, but occasional gentle washing with a garden hose keeps pollen and tree sap from dulling the surface. Unlike shingles, there is no need for granule replacement, moss treatment, or frequent repairs after storms.
