FAQs
Why should I choose aluminum roofing panels over traditional shingles or steel roofs for my Friendsville home?
Aluminum panels offer several advantages in the East Tennessee climate. Unlike steel, aluminum is naturally rust-proof, so it will not corrode even in the humid summers and occasional ice storms we experience in Friendsville. It is also much lighter than both steel and asphalt shingles, placing less stress on your home’s framing. In addition, aluminum reflects a high percentage of solar radiation, helping keep attic temperatures lower and reducing cooling bills. Finally, modern aluminum roofing panels come in a variety of colors and profiles that mimic standing-seam or even traditional shingles while delivering a 50+-year life expectancy.
How long will an aluminum roof last and what kind of warranty do you provide?
Properly installed aluminum panels routinely last 50–70 years. We offer a limited lifetime warranty on the material and a 40-year finish warranty against chalking, fading, and peeling. Our workmanship warranty covers the first 10 years after installation, giving you peace of mind that any leaks related to installation will be corrected at no cost.
Will an aluminum roof help reduce my energy bills?
Yes. Aluminum’s high reflectivity and our ENERGY-STAR®-rated paint finishes can reflect up to 70% of the sun’s radiant heat. This keeps your attic cooler, meaning your HVAC system runs less during Friendsville’s hot, humid summers. Homeowners typically see cooling-cost reductions of 15–25% compared with dark asphalt shingles.
Can aluminum roofing panels handle severe weather such as high winds, hail, and heavy snow common to this region?
Absolutely. Our interlocking panels are tested to withstand wind speeds up to 140 mph, well above the strongest gusts recorded in Blount County. The 0.032"-gauge aluminum resists denting from 1.5" hail and sheds snow quickly thanks to its smooth, low-friction surface. We also offer optional snow guards to safely control roof-snow slide-off near entryways.
What maintenance does an aluminum roof require?
Aluminum roofs are virtually maintenance-free. They will not rust, crack, or warp. An annual visual inspection—either from the ground or by a professional—is usually sufficient. If debris or pollen accumulates, a gentle rinse with a garden hose or a soft-bristle brush with mild detergent will restore the finish. Avoid harsh chemicals or pressure washers, as they can damage the paint coating.
How long does installation take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
Most residential projects in Friendsville are completed in 2–4 days, depending on roof size and complexity. We start with a site visit to verify measurements, deliver materials, and protect landscaping. Old roofing is removed (if required), underlayment is installed, and then the aluminum panels are secured with concealed fasteners. Our crew cleans up daily, and you can remain in your home throughout the process. Final inspection and warranty documentation are provided upon completion.
