FAQs
What is a metal shingle roofing system and how is it different from traditional standing-seam metal roofs?
A metal shingle system consists of stamped, interlocking panels that mimic the look of slate, shake, or architectural shingles but are made from steel or aluminum. Unlike standing-seam panels, which have long vertical ribs, metal shingles come in smaller modular units that fasten through concealed clips or nailing flanges. This design allows them to blend seamlessly with residential neighborhoods, offers easier panel replacement if damage occurs, and provides the same long-term durability, fire resistance, and energy efficiency associated with metal roofing.
How well do metal shingles perform in Crossville’s climate of heavy rain, hail, and occasional high winds?
Metal shingles are engineered to meet or exceed Miami-Dade, UL 2218 Class 4 hail impact, and ASTM wind-uplift standards. In Crossville’s humid subtropical climate, the interlocking edges and hidden fasteners create a watertight barrier that sheds the area’s 55 inches of annual rainfall quickly. The high-strength alloy and baked-on Kynar/Hylar coatings resist hail dents and corrosion from moisture, while wind ratings up to 140 mph protect homes during spring storms and remnants of tropical systems that sometimes reach the Plateau.
How long will a metal shingle roof last, and what kind of warranty is available?
Properly installed metal shingles routinely last 40–70 years—two to three times longer than architectural asphalt shingles. Our Crossville installations come with a non-prorated manufacturer’s warranty of 40–50 years on the finish against fading, chalking, and peeling, plus a limited lifetime warranty on the metal substrate for rust perforation. We also provide a 10-year workmanship guarantee that covers leaks or installation defects, giving homeowners long-term peace of mind.
Are metal shingle roofs noisy when it rains or hails?
No. When installed over recommended underlayment and solid decking, a metal shingle roof is no louder than asphalt shingles. The attic insulation, airspace, and the shingles’ granular embossing all dampen sound. In fact, many homeowners in Crossville report their new metal roof is quieter than their old one because the system seals tighter and reduces wind-driven vibration.
How much does a metal shingle roof cost compared to asphalt shingles in Crossville?
Upfront, metal shingles typically range from $8.50 to $13.00 per square foot installed, while quality architectural asphalt shingles average $4.50 to $6.50. Although the initial investment is higher, metal’s extended service life means you avoid one or two replacement cycles, saving 30–40 percent over 50 years. Metal shingles can also reduce homeowners-insurance premiums by up to 25 percent in Tennessee and lower energy bills by reflecting solar heat, further offsetting the cost.
Can metal shingles be installed over my existing roof, and what about building codes or HOA approval in Crossville?
In many cases, yes. Because metal shingles weigh only 0.9–1.3 lb/ft²—about one-third the weight of asphalt—Crossville’s building code allows a direct-over-roof (reroof) installation if the existing deck is sound and only one layer of old shingles is present. This approach saves tear-off cost and landfill fees. We handle all permitting with Cumberland County’s Building & Codes Department and provide wind-uplift and fire-rating documentation often requested by HOAs in Fairfield Glade, Lake Tansi, and other Crossville communities.
