FAQs
How long can I expect a metal roof to last in Copperhill’s climate?
Properly installed metal roofing routinely lasts 40–70 years in Copperhill. Galvalume or galvanized steel panels resist rust, and high-performance Kynar® paint systems keep the color from fading even under our intense summer sun. Because metal does not absorb water or warp, the freeze-thaw cycles we experience in the mountains have little effect on it. With nothing more than periodic inspections and an occasional wash-down, your new roof should outlive two or three asphalt roofs.
Will a metal roof stand up to Copperhill’s heavy rain, hail, and high winds?
Yes. We install interlocking standing-seam panels that are mechanically fastened to the deck and rated to withstand winds exceeding 140 mph—well above anything normally recorded in Polk County. The panels are UL 2218 Class IV impact-resistant, meaning they will not crack under 2" hail. Factory-applied sealant in every seam, plus a high-temperature underlayment, keeps wind-driven rain from penetrating. Our crews follow local building-code fastening schedules and provide a workmanship warranty that covers storm-related leaks.
Is metal roofing more energy-efficient than asphalt shingles?
Absolutely. Light-colored or specially coated metal reflects up to 70 % of the solar radiation that lands on it, while the integral vented ridge cap allows any absorbed heat to escape. Homeowners in Copperhill typically see summer cooling bills drop 10–25 % compared with dark asphalt shingles. Many of our panels are ENERGY STAR® qualified, and choosing a cool-roof color may make you eligible for regional utility rebates.
How does the cost of a metal roof compare with traditional shingles?
The initial investment for steel standing-seam roofing is about two to three times the price of a standard architectural-shingle roof. However, when you spread that cost over a 50-plus-year service life—during which you will avoid at least one full reroof—metal becomes the lower-cost option. It also raises resale value by 4–6 %, lowers insurance premiums for hail or fire protection, and is 100 % recyclable at end of life. We offer financing plans and can prepare a life-cycle cost analysis specific to your home.
Are metal roofs noisy when it rains, and what can be done to reduce sound?
Modern metal roofs installed over solid roof decking and a synthetic underlayment are no louder than shingle roofs—typically 52–55 dB during a heavy rain, about the level of normal conversation. For homeowners who want extra quiet, we can add a layer of high-density foam or blown-in insulation in the attic, which drops noise levels another 5–8 dB. Gutters and downspouts sized for Copperhill’s rainfall also prevent the drumming effect of water cascading off the eaves.
What maintenance does a metal roof require, and do you offer service plans?
Metal roofs are low-maintenance. We recommend you (1) keep gutters clear of leaves, (2) trim back branches that rub the panels, and (3) schedule an inspection every two to three years so we can check fasteners, sealant, and flashing. Painted finishes may need a gentle wash with a garden hose and mild soap to remove pollen. We offer an affordable annual service plan that includes a full visual inspection, debris removal, minor sealant touch-ups, and a written condition report that helps keep your 40-year paint and 10-year workmanship warranties in force.
