FAQs
What makes your metal roofing warranties "industry-leading" in the Dayton area?
Our warranties combine long coverage periods with comprehensive protection. You receive a 40- to 50-year manufacturer’s material warranty against rust perforation, a 30-year finish warranty that covers chalking and fading, and a 20-year Workmanship Warranty backed by our own company. Very few local roofers bundle all three layers of protection, which is why homeowners and commercial clients in Dayton consider our warranties best-in-class.
What specific types of warranties do you offer on metal roofing systems?
1. Manufacturer Material Warranty – 40–50 years against base-metal failure, rust, and perforation. 2. Paint/Finish Warranty – 30 years for color retention, chalk resistance, and film integrity on Kynar 500® or SMP finishes. 3. Wind Uplift Warranty – Rated up to 140 mph when panels are installed to specification. 4. Workmanship Warranty – 20 years covering leaks caused by installation errors. 5. Optional Hail Protection Warranty – 10 years for Class 4 impact-resistant panels. Customers can mix and match coverage levels to suit their budget and building type.
Is the warranty transferable if I sell my home or commercial building?
Yes. All our metal roofing warranties are fully transferable once within the first 10 years. To transfer, the new owner simply submits a transfer form and a small administrative fee (usually $100) to the manufacturer and to our office within 60 days of closing. Transferring preserves the remaining term of both the material and workmanship warranties, adding resale value to your property.
What actions or conditions could void my metal roof warranty?
Major causes of warranty voidance include: • Unapproved roof penetrations (satellite dishes, HVAC units) not flashed by a certified installer. • Contact with dissimilar metals such as copper, lead, or treated lumber, which can cause galvanic corrosion. • Use of harsh chemicals or pressure-washing above 2,500 psi. • Failure to remove debris (wet leaves, pine needles) that traps moisture for extended periods. • Hail damage claims made after severe weather but without an inspection and documentation within 30 days. Following the manufacturer’s maintenance guide and scheduling our free annual inspection helps you avoid these pitfalls.
How long can I reasonably expect the painted finish on a metal roof to last in Dayton’s climate?
With Dayton’s freeze-thaw cycles and occasional hail, premium PVDF (Kynar 500®) coatings still retain at least 70 % of their original color after 30 years. Surface chalking is limited to a Delta E of 5 units or less during that period, which is generally imperceptible from ground level. Lesser SMP finishes typically see noticeable fading after 15–20 years. Because we only install panels pre-finished in controlled factory conditions, you enjoy the maximum lifespan the chemistry allows, and the 30-year finish warranty backs that up in writing.
What do I need to do to activate and maintain my metal roof warranty?
1. Activation – Once installation is complete, you’ll receive a warranty packet. Sign the registration card and mail or upload it within 60 days. 2. Year-1 Inspection – We perform a complementary inspection 12 months after installation to verify everything has settled as expected. 3. Regular Maintenance – Keep gutters clear, trim overhanging branches, and have us perform a quick roof check every 2–3 years (free for the first 10 years). 4. Documentation – Save invoices for any accessory work (solar mounts, vent additions) to prove certified installation. Following these simple steps ensures your coverage remains fully intact for decades.
