FAQs
What makes your metal systems roofing different from traditional shingle roofs in Fountain City?
Our metal systems are engineered panels that lock together to create a continuous weather-tight barrier, unlike individual shingles that rely on overlapping layers. Metal resists rot, mildew, and insect damage, meets Fountain City’s 120-mph wind-uplift code, and is Class A fire-rated. In most cases, it weighs 50–60 % less than asphalt, reducing structural stress and allowing installation over many existing roofs, which saves tear-off costs and keeps material out of landfills.
How long can I expect a properly installed metal roof to last?
Metal roofs routinely perform for 50 years or more. The galvanized or Galvalume® steel core resists corrosion, and our Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000® paint systems carry a 35-year fade warranty. In Fountain City’s freeze-thaw climate, the panels will not crack or curl, and the fasteners are concealed to eliminate leak points. In most cases, homeowners will never need another roof for as long as they own the property.
Is metal roofing noisy during rain or hail storms?
No. Modern metal systems are installed over solid roof decking, underlayment, and (when desired) an additional acoustic membrane. These layers absorb sound so effectively that interior decibel levels are comparable to those under an asphalt roof. Many customers in Fountain City report that they notice no difference—or even a reduction—in rain noise after their metal roof is installed.
Will a metal roof help reduce my energy bills?
Yes. Our cool-roof coatings are formulated with specialized pigments that reflect up to 70 % of solar heat, keeping attic temperatures up to 30 °F cooler in summer. That translates to an average 10–25 % reduction in air-conditioning costs for Fountain City homeowners. In winter, the continuous panel design minimizes heat loss at seams, and optional high-R radiant barriers can be added for further savings.
How does the installation process work and how long does it take?
After a free on-site assessment, we fabricate panels to the exact length of your roof—often right at the job site—so there are no horizontal seams. A typical 2,000 ft² Fountain City home takes 2–3 days for tear-off (when required) and dry-in, followed by 1–2 days to attach panels, trim, and flashing. Because the system is lightweight, there is minimal disruption to landscaping, and our magnetic sweep guarantees we leave no stray fasteners behind.
What kind of maintenance and warranty does your metal roofing system come with?
Maintenance is minimal: keep gutters clear, trim overhanging limbs, and schedule a visual inspection every few years. Our manufacturer provides a 40-year transferable paint warranty and a 25-year weathertightness warranty. We also include a 10-year workmanship guarantee covering installation labor. Should a panel ever be damaged by extreme weather, individual sections can be replaced without disturbing the rest of the roof.
