FAQs
What is a weather-tight finish in metal roofing, and why is it important in Hillsboro’s climate?
A weather-tight finish is a specialized coating and seaming system applied to metal panels that seals out wind-driven rain, snow, and moisture intrusion. Hillsboro experiences wet winters and fluctuating temperatures, so this finish prevents leaks, corrosion, and thermal movement that could otherwise shorten the roof’s life or cause interior water damage.
How long does a weather-tight metal roof typically last?
With proper installation and minimal maintenance, a weather-tight metal roof can last 40–70 years. The finish resists rust, UV degradation, and thermal cycling, significantly extending the service life compared to traditional asphalt shingles, which may need replacement every 15–20 years.
Can a weather-tight metal roof reduce my energy bills?
Yes. The reflective coatings used in weather-tight systems deflect a large portion of the sun’s radiant heat, helping keep your home cooler in summer. Combined with proper attic ventilation and insulation, homeowners in Hillsboro often see energy savings of 10–25% on cooling costs.
Will metal roofing be noisy during rain or hail storms?
No. When installed over solid decking with underlayment and insulation—standard practice for our Hillsboro projects—metal roofs are no louder than other roofing types. The weather-tight finish also dampens vibration, further reducing noise levels.
Is a weather-tight metal roof environmentally friendly?
Absolutely. Metal panels contain 25–35% recycled content and are 100% recyclable at the end of their service life. The long lifespan means fewer replacements and less landfill waste, and the energy-efficient coatings reduce your home’s carbon footprint.
How much maintenance does a weather-tight metal roof require?
Very little. We recommend an annual inspection to clear debris, check fasteners, and clean gutters. The specialized finish resists mildew, fading, and chalking, so you won’t need frequent repainting or sealing common with other roofing materials.
