FAQs
What is standing-seam metal roofing and how is it different from traditional exposed-fastener metal panels?
Standing-seam systems use continuous metal panels that lock together with raised vertical seams (usually 1"–2" high). Because the fasteners are concealed beneath the seams or clips, no screws penetrate the weather-surface. This creates a watertight roof that is far less prone to leaks, loosening screws, and corrosion than exposed-fastener ("ribbed" or "AG") panels. The sleek profile also gives a modern architectural look, minimizes maintenance, and allows the metal to expand and contract freely as temperatures change.
How well does standing-seam metal roofing perform in Heiskell’s climate?
Heiskell, TN sees hot, humid summers, severe thunderstorms, and occasional snow and ice. 24- or 26-gauge standing-seam panels are tested to withstand 140-mph winds, Class 4 hail, and a 30-psf snow load. The concealed-fastener design prevents uplift during strong winds, while the high-reflectivity paint finishes (Cool Roof pigments) lower attic temperatures by up to 30 °F in summer, reducing AC costs. A properly installed underlayment and ice-and-water shield at eaves provide added protection against freeze-thaw cycles and ice dams.
Can the same standing-seam panels be used as siding on my home or barndominium?
Yes. The identical interlocking panels are frequently installed vertically as siding to create a seamless transition from roof to wall. As siding, they offer the same weather-tightness, Class A fire rating, and impact resistance. The continuous metal skin eliminates lap joints found in vinyl or fiber-cement boards, reducing the chance of water intrusion and insect nests. Many Heiskell customers choose this option for modern farmhouses and workshop/garage combos to gain consistent color, sharper lines, and a maintenance-free exterior.
What color, coating, and gauge options do you offer for the Heiskell area, and will they fade over time?
We stock 24- and 26-gauge Galvalume and SMP or Kynar 500® PVDF painted steel in more than 30 colors, ranging from Energy-Star certified whites to matte blacks and metallics. Kynar finishes carry a 40-year film-integrity / 30-year fade-and-chalk warranty, ensuring the panels keep at least 70 % of original color after three decades. We also offer aluminum and copper for coastal or accent applications. Because panels are roll-formed locally, custom lengths up to 50 ft can be produced within 3–5 business days.
How long does installation take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A typical 2,000 ft² roof in good condition can be stripped, dried-in, and re-roofed with standing-seam panels in 2–3 days. If you choose to install over existing shingles (code-permitting), tear-off time is eliminated and the project may finish in 1–2 days. Our crews bring portable roll-formers to the jobsite, so panels are cut to exact length on the ground, reducing noise and material waste. We protect landscaping, use magnetic nail sweepers daily, and coordinate with you to keep driveways and entrances open.
What maintenance is required and what warranties are included?
Maintenance is minimal: rinse the roof once or twice a year to remove pollen and tree debris, keep gutters clear, and trim overhanging limbs. Because fasteners are hidden, no periodic screw tightening is needed. Our standing-seam assemblies include a 40-year manufacturer finish warranty, a 25-year weathertightness warranty (upgradeable to 35 years), and a 5-year workmanship guarantee covering labor and flashing details. Roofs routinely last 50+ years, and many insurers offer 5–15 % premium discounts for metal roofs—ask your agent.
