FAQs
How does a metal roof stand up to the brisk autumn winds we get in Crossville?
Metal roofing panels are engineered and fastened to withstand winds of 120–140 mph, far exceeding the gusts typically seen on the Cumberland Plateau. Each panel is secured with concealed clips and screws driven into the roof deck, and ridge caps are locked in place to prevent uplift. This means you can expect excellent performance during the blustery fall season and in the occasional severe storm.
Will a metal roof make my home noisier during rain or hail storms?
Not with proper installation. We install a solid decking substrate (usually 5⁄8-inch plywood or OSB) plus a synthetic underlayment before the metal panels go on. This combination, along with optional attic insulation, absorbs most impact noise. Customers routinely report that rain on a finished metal roof is no louder than on an asphalt-shingle roof—and some say it’s even quieter because the panels are continuous sheets with fewer gaps.
Is metal roofing energy-efficient for Crossville’s mixed climate?
Yes. Modern metal roofs have high solar reflectance and emissivity ratings. In summer, they bounce sunlight away, reducing attic temperatures by up to 30 °F and cutting cooling costs 10-25 %. In cooler months, a properly ventilated metal roof releases moisture and prevents heat loss through condensation. If you select factory-applied Cool Roof finishes, you may also qualify for TVA or federal energy tax incentives.
What kind of maintenance will my metal roof need over the years?
Very little. Unlike shingles that curl or lose granules, metal panels will not crack, peel, or absorb moisture. In Crossville’s leafy neighborhoods, we recommend clearing gutters twice a year to prevent standing water. Every 3–5 years you should also check fasteners and sealant at roof penetrations (vents, chimneys)—a quick inspection we can perform under our service plan. Otherwise, occasional rinsing with a garden hose is all that’s required to keep the finish looking new.
How long does installation take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
An average 2,000 sq ft Crossville home takes 2–3 days of on-site work once materials arrive. Day 1: we remove old shingles and inspect the decking. Day 2: underlayment and most panels are installed. Day 3: trim, flashing, and cleanup are completed. Because metal panels come pre-cut and we stage materials in one drop zone, noise and debris are minimal, and we protect landscaping with ground tarps. You can stay in your home the entire time.
What warranties and longevity can I expect with Brisk Autumn Winds Roofing metal systems?
We provide a dual warranty. The manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty covers panel integrity (40–50 years against rust or perforation) and a 30-year fade/chalk guarantee on the baked-on Kynar 500® color finish. Our own 10-year workmanship warranty covers installation details such as fastener back-out, flashing leaks, and ridge-cap issues. With proper care, a metal roof in Crossville typically lasts 60 years or longer—about three times the lifespan of a standard asphalt shingle roof.
