FAQs
How do metal roofing and siding panels perform in Dandridge’s climate?
Dandridge experiences hot, humid summers, heavy rain, occasional hail, and strong winds off Douglas Lake. Our 26- and 24-gauge steel panels are engineered to shed water quickly, resist 140-mph wind uplift, and carry a Class 4 impact rating for hail. The baked-on Kynar 500® finish also includes UV inhibitors that prevent fading under Tennessee’s intense sun. As a result, homeowners typically see 40-plus years of leak-free service with minimal color change despite the area’s challenging weather patterns.
What profiles and colors are available for metal panels?
We stock three roofing profiles—5V-Crimp, Standing Seam, and R-Panel—and two siding profiles—Board-and-Batten and Dutch Lap. All profiles can be ordered in 22 designer colors, four textured “rustic” finishes, and a Galvalume mill finish. Color charts are matched to the Metal Construction Association’s color-fastness standard, so you can confidently mix and match roof and wall panels without mismatched shades. Custom colors are also possible on orders over 3,000 sq ft with a 6-week lead time.
How does the cost of metal panels compare to asphalt shingles or vinyl siding?
Installed cost in Dandridge averages $7.00–$10.50 per square foot for metal roofing and $6.00–$9.00 for metal siding, depending on panel style and trim complexity. Asphalt shingles generally run $4.00–$6.00 per square foot, while vinyl siding ranges from $3.50–$5.50. Although metal’s upfront price is higher, its life expectancy is two to three times longer and it can lower cooling bills by up to 25 %. When you factor in reduced maintenance and potential insurance discounts, lifetime ownership cost is typically lower than shingles or vinyl.
What warranties are included with your metal roofing-siding systems?
Our panels come with a 40-year film-integrity warranty, 30-year fade/chalk warranty, and a 20-year Galvalume substrate warranty direct from the mill. We also provide a 10-year workmanship warranty covering leaks, fastener back-out, and flashing failures. All warranties are transferable once within the first 10 years, which can add resale value to your Dandridge property.
How long does installation take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A typical 2,000-sq ft roof takes two to three days to install; adding siding may extend the project to five or six days. Our crews arrive after 7 a.m., clean up by 5 p.m., and use magnetic sweepers daily to collect stray fasteners. Because metal panels go on in large sheets, tear-off and dry-in generally happen the same day, so your home is never left exposed overnight. We coordinate dumpster placement and material staging to keep driveways and walkways accessible.
What maintenance is required after installation?
Metal roofing and siding are virtually maintenance-free. We recommend an annual low-pressure rinse to remove pollen and tree sap common in Jefferson County. Fasteners should be inspected every 10 years; on exposed-fastener panels we include a free retightening service at year 10. Gutters and valleys should be cleared of leaves each fall to maintain proper drainage, but otherwise no painting, caulking, or sealing is necessary. Should a panel ever be damaged by falling limbs, it can usually be replaced individually without disturbing adjacent panels.
