FAQs
Why is metal roofing a smart choice for homes and businesses in Crossville?
Crossville sits on the Cumberland Plateau, where high winds, heavy rain, and occasional hail are common. Metal roofing is engineered to withstand wind speeds of 140 mph or more, sheds water and snow quickly, and resists impact better than most asphalt shingles. In addition, the high solar reflectivity of modern metal coatings helps keep attics cooler in Tennessee’s warm summers, lowering energy bills by up to 25 %.
How long can I expect a metal roof to last compared with traditional shingles?
A properly installed, quality metal roof will typically last 40–70 years. By contrast, architectural asphalt shingles in our region average 15–25 years before needing replacement. Metal panels are corrosion-resistant, do not crack or curl, and have factory-applied finishes with 30- to 40-year paint warranties. That longevity often means a metal roof is the last roof you’ll ever buy for your Crossville property.
Will a metal roof make my home hotter or noisier during rainstorms?
No. Modern metal roofing is installed over an underlayment and usually a ventilated decking or purlin system, which creates an insulating air gap. This assembly keeps attic temperatures comparable—or cooler—than those under asphalt shingles. As for noise, the sheathing, insulation, and attic air space muffle sound; studies show indoor rain noise from metal roofs is only 6 dB higher than shingles, a difference most people cannot detect.
Is metal roofing more expensive up front, and what is the return on investment?
The initial installed cost of standing-seam or metal shingle roofing in Crossville is generally 2–3 times that of architectural asphalt. However, when you factor in at least one avoided re-roof cycle, lower maintenance, potential homeowner insurance discounts of 5–15 %, and documented energy savings, metal roofing often delivers a lower lifetime cost. According to the 2023 Cost vs. Value Report for the East South-Central region, homeowners recoup about 86 % of their metal roof investment in resale value.
Can a metal roof handle hail and severe storms common to the Cumberland Plateau?
Absolutely. Steel and aluminum panels are Class 4 impact-rated, the highest designation under UL 2218 testing, meaning they can withstand 2-inch hail without functional damage. The interlocking panels are also extremely wind-resistant. For added protection, our Crossville crews use concealed fastener systems and high-strength clips that allow the panels to expand and contract without loosening in repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
What maintenance does a metal roof require after installation?
Metal roofs are low maintenance, but not maintenance-free. Once or twice a year you should remove leaf debris from valleys and gutters, rinse off excess pollen or dust with a garden hose, and visually inspect flashings and sealant joints. Never use abrasive pads or pressure washers above 2,500 psi. Fastener-tightness checks are recommended after the first year and every 5–7 years thereafter for exposed-fastener systems. Our Crossville service team offers an affordable annual inspection program to handle these tasks for you.
