FAQs
How long will a metal roof last in Dunlap’s climate?
Properly installed metal roofing typically lasts 40–70 years in the Dunlap area—two to three times longer than an asphalt-shingle roof. Galvalume and standing-seam panels resist the humidity, occasional snow, and wide temperature swings we see here. Most manufacturers back their panels with 30- to 50-year finish warranties, and our workmanship warranty adds another layer of protection.
Are metal roofs noisy when it rains or hails?
Not when they are installed correctly. Modern metal roofing systems include an insulating underlayment, attic insulation, and often a vented air space between the decking and the panels. These layers absorb sound so the interior noise level is comparable to—or quieter than—an asphalt roof during heavy rain or hail.
Will a metal roof help lower my energy bills?
Yes. Metal panels have reflective coatings that bounce radiant heat away from your home, lowering attic temperatures by up to 30 °F in summer. Independent studies show cooling-cost reductions of 10–25 %. In winter, the same panels act as a radiant barrier to hold heat inside, giving you year-round energy savings.
How does metal roofing stand up to Dunlap’s wind, hail, and fire risks?
Our standing-seam and ribbed panels carry UL 580 wind ratings up to 140 mph and UL 2218 Class 4 impact ratings—the highest available—so they resist the straight-line winds and hail storms that occasionally roll through Dunlap. Metal is also non-combustible and earns a Class A fire rating, offering extra protection during chimney flare-ups or lightning strikes.
Can you install a metal roof over my existing asphalt shingles?
In many cases, yes. Building codes in Dunlap allow a single recover layer if the existing deck is sound and the shingle layer is flat. Installing over shingles saves tear-off labor and keeps old material out of the landfill. We inspect the decking, flashings, and ventilation before recommending an overlay or full removal.
What does a metal roof cost in Dunlap, and do you offer financing?
Installed prices range from $8 to $14 per square foot depending on panel style, gauge, roof complexity, and insulation upgrades—roughly 1.5–2.5 × the price of architectural shingles. Many homeowners recoup part of that through energy savings, insurance discounts, and increased resale value. We partner with local lenders to offer low-interest financing and can help you navigate potential tax credits for ENERGY STAR–rated metal coatings.
