FAQs
Why is metal roofing a smart choice for Duff homes that face intense summer storms?
Metal roofing has a UL Class 4 impact rating and can withstand hail up to 2 inches in diameter and winds exceeding 140 mph—conditions common during Duff’s summer storm season. The interlocking panels shed rain quickly, resist uplift, and are non-combustible, giving homeowners superior protection against lightning-sparked fires, driving rain, and wind-borne debris.
How long will a metal roof last compared to traditional asphalt shingles?
A properly installed steel or aluminum roof from Summer Storms Roofing has a life expectancy of 40–70 years. Standard asphalt shingles typically last 12–20 years in Duff’s climate, where high UV exposure and temperature swings accelerate shingle aging. Over the life of your home, a metal roof often costs less because it eliminates two or three tear-off and re-roof cycles.
Will a metal roof be noisy during heavy rain or hail?
No. Our installation includes solid roof decking, high-density underlayment, and optional acoustic foam spacers that dampen sound. Inside the home, most homeowners report noise levels equal to or lower than those of an asphalt-shingle roof. Attic insulation further reduces any rain or hail noise to a soft patter.
Can a metal roof help lower my cooling bills in Duff’s hot, humid summers?
Yes. Metal panels are coated with ENERGY STAR® qualified Cool Roof pigments that reflect up to 70 % of solar heat. This can reduce attic temperatures by 20–30 °F and cut cooling costs by 10–25 %. Many Duff customers also qualify for state or federal energy-efficiency tax credits when they choose our white or light-colored finishes.
How does the cost of metal roofing compare to shingles, and do you offer financing?
Up-front, a standing-seam or metal shingle roof costs about 2–3 times more than a mid-grade asphalt roof. However, when you factor in its 40-plus-year lifespan, minimal maintenance, lower insurance premiums, and potential energy savings, the total lifetime cost is usually lower. Summer Storms Roofing partners with local lenders to provide 0 % promotional financing for 12 months and fixed-rate loans up to 15 years, making monthly payments comparable to a shingle roof replacement.
What maintenance and warranty coverage come with a Summer Storms Roofing metal installation in Duff?
Metal roofs require very little upkeep—just an annual visual inspection, occasional debris removal from valleys, and a quick rinse if tree sap or pollen accumulates. We back our workmanship with a transferable 10-year labor warranty, and the manufacturer provides a 40-year paint finish warranty that covers fading, chalking, and corrosion. Fasteners, sealants, and accessories are covered for 25 years, giving Duff homeowners long-term peace of mind.
