FAQs
Why should I choose American-made metal roofing panels for my Collegedale property?
American-made panels are manufactured under strict quality controls, so the steel gauge, paint system, and protective coatings meet or exceed ASTM standards. That means you get a roof engineered for Tennessee’s temperature swings, high UV exposure, and seasonal storms. Buying domestic also shortens supply chains, so replacement panels and trim pieces arrive faster and support U.S. jobs.
How well does a metal roof handle Collegedale’s heat, humidity, and severe weather?
High-reflectivity paint finishes bounce off up to 70 % of solar heat, keeping attics cooler during our hot, humid summers. Galvalume or galvanized substrates resist rust even in damp conditions, and the interlocking panel design is tested to withstand wind gusts over 140 mph—ideal for the strong thunderstorms that move through the Chattanooga Valley.
What panel profiles, colors, and finishes are available?
We stock popular standing-seam and exposed-fastener profiles in 26- and 24-gauge steel. Standard PVDF (Kynar 500®) colors range from classic Charcoal to modern Matte Black, plus specialty metallic and rustic finishes. Because panels are made in the U.S., custom colors or special lengths can often be produced in 7–10 business days.
Will a metal roof lower my energy bills?
Yes. Cool-roof coatings certified by ENERGY STAR® reflect radiant heat, which can reduce summertime cooling costs by 10–25 %. The panels also shed snow quickly, minimizing winter ice dams. Many Collegedale homeowners combine metal roofing with upgraded attic insulation to maximize savings.
What is the typical installation timeline and process?
A 2,000–3,000 sq ft roof usually takes 2–4 days. Day 1: we remove old shingles, inspect decking, and install high-temperature underlayment. Day 2-3: panels are custom-cut on-site, then secured with hidden clips or color-matched screws. Day 4: we add ridge vents, trim, and a final quality inspection. Because panels are pre-finished, there’s minimal job-site mess and no delay for painting.
What kind of warranty and maintenance should I expect?
Our American-made panels carry a 40-year limited paint warranty and a 30-year substrate warranty against rust perforation. Fasteners are warranted for the same term when installed by our certified crews. Maintenance is simple: rinse the roof annually with a garden hose, keep gutters clear, and schedule an inspection after major hail events. No periodic resealing or shingle replacement is necessary.
