FAQs
What advantages do premium metal roofing panels offer Georgetown homeowners over traditional shingles?
Premium metal panels provide a service life of 50-plus years—more than double that of asphalt shingles—while delivering superior resistance to fire (Class A), hail (Class 4 impact rating), and winds up to 140 mph. Their high-reflectivity paint systems (Cool Roof–rated) can lower summertime attic temperatures by 30 °F and cut cooling costs by 10–20 %. The interlocking standing-seam design sheds rain quickly, reducing the risk of leaks and algae growth that commonly affect shingle roofs in Central Texas humidity.
How does the cost of a premium metal roof compare to other roofing options in Georgetown?
Up-front, installed pricing for standing-seam or concealed-fastener panels typically runs $9–$14 per square foot, whereas architectural shingles average $4–$6 and tile $10–$18. While the initial investment is higher than asphalt, the metal roof’s longer lifespan, lower maintenance, and possible energy-efficiency and insurance discounts (often 5–15 % for Class 4 roofs) mean most Georgetown homeowners recoup the difference within 10–15 years.
Will a metal roof make my home noisier during rain or Texas hailstorms?
No. Modern installations include solid roof decking, underlayment, and attic insulation that dampen sound. Independent tests show interior noise levels under a metal roof are comparable to or quieter than those beneath shingles—typically about 50 dB during a heavy rain. Optional high-density acoustic underlayments are available if you desire even more sound suppression.
Can premium metal panels handle Central Texas weather, especially hail and intense sun?
Yes. Our panels are UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated to resist hail stones up to 2 inches in diameter without rupturing. The Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000® paint finish is formulated to withstand UV exposure exceeding 30 years with minimal chalk or fade—ideal for Georgetown’s 200-plus sunny days per year. Factory-applied coatings also prevent corrosion in humid conditions, and concealed clips allow the metal to expand and contract without stressing fasteners.
How long does installation take, and will my daily routine be disrupted?
A typical single-family home (2,500 sq ft of roof) can be completed in 3–5 working days, including tear-off of the old roof, deck inspection, underlayment, and panel seaming. Crews stage materials in one area of your driveway, use magnetic rollers to collect nails daily, and coordinate dumpster pickup to minimize inconvenience. Most customers experience only minor noise during daylight hours and no interruption to utilities.
What maintenance and warranty coverage can I expect for my new metal roof?
Maintenance is minimal: keep gutters clear, remove large debris after storms, and schedule an inspection every 3–5 years to check sealant at penetrations. No periodic resealing or granule replacement is needed. Panels carry a 40-year finish warranty against chalk and fade, plus a 30-year manufacturer’s weather-tightness warranty when installed by our certified crew. Workmanship is backed by our transferable 10-year labor guarantee, giving you long-term peace of mind.
