FAQs
How long can I expect a metal panel roof to last in Farragut’s climate?
High-quality steel or aluminum panels installed by a certified contractor typically last 40–70 years in Farragut. The town’s moderate snowfall and occasional summer storms are well within the durability range of today’s corrosion-resistant, UV-protected coatings. Routine inspections and minor maintenance can push life expectancy toward the higher end of that range.
Will a metal roof make my home hotter or colder?
No. In fact, metal panels often improve energy efficiency. Most systems include a radiant barrier paint or a high-reflectivity coating that bounces much of the sun’s heat away. When paired with proper attic ventilation, homeowners in Farragut usually see cooling-season energy savings of 10–25 %. During winter, the panels’ low thermal mass means they shed heat quickly rather than absorbing it, which helps maintain indoor comfort when insulation is sufficient.
Is metal roofing noisier during rain or hail?
Not with modern installation methods. When metal panels are fastened over a solid decking (OSB or plywood) and underlayment, the assembly absorbs sound nearly as well as an asphalt-shingle roof. Many homeowners report no noticeable difference. Optional upgrades like a synthetic sound-damping underlayment or additional attic insulation can further reduce rain or hail noise if you are especially sensitive.
How does the cost of metal panels compare to asphalt shingles?
Upfront, a standing-seam or exposed-fastener metal roof can cost 2–3 × more than a basic shingle installation in Farragut. However, shingles typically need replacement after 15–25 years, while metal lasts 40–70 years. When you spread the investment over its lifetime—and include lower maintenance, potential insurance discounts, and energy savings—a metal roof often delivers the lowest total cost of ownership.
Will my HOA or the Town of Farragut allow metal roofing?
Most Farragut subdivisions permit metal roofing, but each homeowners’ association sets its own covenants on color, profile, or panel visibility (e.g., exposed vs. concealed fasteners). The Town of Farragut follows Knox County’s residential building codes, which fully approve metal roofs as long as they meet ICC and manufacturer specifications. We provide detailed drawings and color samples that you can submit with any required HOA applications to ensure compliance before installation.
What maintenance does a metal panel roof require?
Maintenance is straightforward: (1) visually inspect the panels, flashings, and fasteners once or twice a year; (2) clear off leaves or debris that could trap moisture; (3) wash the surface with mild soap and water if airborne pollutants dull the finish; and (4) have a professional tighten or replace any loose fasteners every 10–15 years for exposed-fastener systems. Unlike shingles, metal panels are impervious to rot, pests, and most wind damage, so upkeep is minimal and inexpensive.
