FAQs
How long can I expect a metal roof to last in Georgetown’s climate?
A properly installed and maintained metal roof can last 40–70 years in Georgetown. The Galvalume or galvanized steel panels we use resist rust and corrosion even in our humid summers, while high-performance paint finishes withstand intense UV exposure. Routine inspections and clearing debris will help you reach—or even surpass—the upper end of that life span.
Is a metal roof noisier than traditional shingles during heavy Texas rain or hail?
When installed over a solid roof deck with quality underlayment and attic insulation, a metal roof is no louder than an asphalt shingle roof. In fact, today’s concealed-fastener panels and sound-damping underlayments often make metal roofs quieter. If you have an open-beam structure, we can add acoustic insulation to further reduce any noise concerns.
Will a metal roof make my home hotter in Georgetown’s summer heat?
No. Metal roofing actually reflects a significant portion of solar radiant heat. Our ENERGY STAR®-rated coatings can reduce cooling demand by up to 25 %, keeping attic temperatures lower than many dark asphalt roofs. Proper attic ventilation combined with the reflective surface helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and lower utility bills.
How does the cost of a metal roof compare to other roofing options?
Up-front, a metal roof typically costs 2–3 times more than architectural shingles. However, because it lasts two to three times longer and requires far fewer repairs, its lifetime cost is substantially lower. Additionally, metal roofs can boost resale value and may qualify for insurance discounts of 10–30 % in Texas because of their Class 4 impact resistance.
Can a metal roof handle Georgetown’s occasional hail and high winds?
Yes. Our standing-seam and stone-coated steel systems carry Class 4 impact ratings—the highest available—for hail resistance. They also meet or exceed ASTM wind-uplift standards and are rated for wind speeds up to 140 mph. Proper fastening to your home’s structural framing ensures panels stay secure even during severe thunderstorms and gusty cold fronts.
What maintenance is required for a metal roof?
Metal roofs are low-maintenance. We recommend a visual inspection twice a year (spring and fall) to clear leaves from valleys and gutters, check sealant at penetrations, and confirm fasteners remain tight. Unlike shingles, metal panels won’t crack or warp, so you’ll mainly be removing debris and ensuring drainage pathways stay clear. Most homeowners spend less than an hour a year on upkeep.
