FAQs
What makes classic metal shingles a good choice for homes in Flintville?
Classic metal shingles combine the traditional look of wood or slate with the strength of aluminum or steel. For Flintville’s hot, humid summers and occasional severe storms, these shingles offer: • Superior wind resistance up to 120 mph or more—ideal for Tennessee storm seasons. • A Class A fire rating, adding peace of mind during dry spells. • Reflective coatings that lower roof-surface temperatures, helping reduce summer cooling bills by 20-30 %. • Fade- and rust-resistant finishes that stay attractive despite the region’s humidity and UV exposure.
How long will a classic metal shingle roof last compared with asphalt shingles?
An asphalt roof in southern Middle Tennessee typically lasts 12-17 years, while classic metal shingles carry a manufacturer’s warranty of 40-50 years and often perform well for 60 + years. The metal panels resist cracking, curling, and granule loss, so you’re likely to reroof your home once—rather than two or three times over the same period—saving money in the long run.
Will a metal shingle roof make my house noisier in the rain?
No. When installed correctly over solid roof decking and underlayment, classic metal shingles are only about 2 dB louder than asphalt—an amount the human ear can barely detect. Many customers say they notice no difference at all. Optional high-density foam backers or an extra layer of synthetic underlayment can be added if you want additional sound dampening.
How much does classic metal shingle roofing cost in the Flintville area?
Installed pricing in 2024 generally runs $8.50–$12.50 per square foot, depending on roof complexity, color selection, and whether tear-off of an old roof is required. While this is roughly two to three times the cost of architectural asphalt shingles, the extended life, lower maintenance, and potential energy savings usually make the total life-cycle cost comparable—or even lower.
Can classic metal shingles be installed over my existing roof?
In many cases, yes. Local building codes in Lincoln County allow a second roof layer if the existing decking is sound and total weight remains within structural limits. Because metal shingles weigh about one-tenth as much as traditional shingles, installers often attach a vented furring strip grid and lay the new metal roof directly over the old one, saving tear-off costs and reducing landfill waste. A free on-site inspection will determine whether your roof qualifies.
What maintenance is required once the roof is installed?
Very little: • Rinse debris from valleys and gutters each spring and fall. • Inspect sealant around flashings every 10–15 years and re-seal if necessary. • Avoid walking on the roof with spiked shoes to protect the finish. • If a panel is damaged by falling limbs, it can be replaced individually without disturbing surrounding shingles. With these simple steps, your classic metal shingle roof should protect your Flintville home for decades.
