FAQs
Why is aluminum panel roofing a good choice for homes and businesses in Delano’s hot Central Valley climate?
Aluminum naturally reflects a large portion of solar heat, helping to keep interiors cooler and lowering air-conditioning costs during the long, hot Delano summers. Unlike steel, it will not rust when exposed to the occasional Central Valley fog or agricultural chemicals. Its resistance to thermal expansion and contraction also minimizes the risk of warping or fastener loosening over years of temperature swings.
How long can I expect an aluminum metal roof to last compared with traditional asphalt shingles?
Properly installed aluminum panels routinely last 50 – 70 years, more than double the 20- to 25-year lifespan of quality asphalt shingles. They resist UV degradation, high winds, fire, and pest damage, so homeowners typically replace an aluminum roof only once in a lifetime, resulting in lower long-term ownership costs.
Will an aluminum roof be noisy during rain or hail storms?
When installed over a solid decking with an appropriate underlayment—standard practice in modern metal roofing—aluminum roofs are no louder than asphalt shingles. The deck and underlayment absorb the impact sound, and many customers report equal or even lower interior noise levels after switching to aluminum panels.
What maintenance is required to keep an aluminum panel roof in top condition?
Minimal maintenance is one of aluminum’s biggest advantages. Periodically remove leaves or debris from valleys and gutters, and visually inspect the roof once or twice a year for any loose fasteners or sealant wear. Because aluminum does not rust, it usually only needs an occasional gentle rinse with a garden hose to maintain its appearance—no harsh chemicals or power-washing required.
How does the cost of aluminum roofing compare with other roofing materials in Delano?
Upfront, aluminum panels generally cost 2–3 times more than architectural asphalt shingles but less than premium clay tile. However, the long service life, potential energy savings, and possible insurance discounts often make the lifetime cost of aluminum lower than that of multiple asphalt shingle replacements. We provide free, itemized estimates so you can see the total cost of ownership for your specific project.
Are color and style options limited with aluminum roofing?
Not at all. Aluminum panels come in dozens of factory-applied, baked-on Kynar® or SMP finishes that resist fading and chalking under Delano’s intense sun. Profiles range from traditional standing seam to modern interlocking shingles or tiles, allowing you to match virtually any architectural style. Custom colors are also available for projects that require HOA approval or specific branding.
