FAQs
What types of warranties do you offer on metal roofing installations in Huntsville?
We provide a dual-layer warranty program. First, every residential or commercial metal roof we install carries the manufacturer’s product warranty—up to 40–50 years depending on the panel profile and coating. Second, we back our craftsmanship with our own 10-year, no-leak workmanship warranty. You get written documentation for both at project close-out.
How long does the standard manufacturer warranty last, and what exactly does it cover?
Most premium metal panels we install come with a 40-year paint and finish warranty and a 30-year substrate (galvalume/galvanized steel) warranty. The finish warranty protects against cracking, chipping, premature fading, and rust perforation caused by normal atmospheric conditions, while the substrate warranty guards against structural failure of the steel itself. Some standing-seam systems escalate to limited lifetime coverage on rust perforation.
What’s the difference between your workmanship warranty and the manufacturer’s warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty covers material defects—paint adhesion, coating integrity, base-metal corrosion, and panel strength. Our workmanship warranty covers everything we physically do: panel layout, seaming, flashing, fastener placement, sealant application, and underlayment installation. If a leak occurs because of an installation error within 10 years, we repair it at no cost, even if the materials are perfect.
Does the warranty protect against Huntsville’s hailstorms, high winds, or tornado-related damage?
All of our metal roofs are rated to withstand winds of 140–150 mph and hail up to 2 inches in diameter when installed to manufacturer specs. If storm damage still occurs, the material portion may be covered if the impact cracks the finish or exposes bare metal within warranty terms. Workmanship issues—such as panels lifting because they were under-fastened—are covered fully for 10 years. Wind or hail damage caused by extraordinary, non-rated events (e.g., EF-3 tornado) is generally handled through your homeowner’s insurance, but we will facilitate claims and supply replacement panels that match warranty coverage.
What maintenance steps do I need to follow to keep my metal roof warranty valid?
The warranties are low-maintenance but not zero-maintenance. Manufacturers require an annual visual inspection and basic cleaning to remove heavy debris, standing water, or biological growth. Avoid walking directly on ribs, and never use abrasive cleaners or power washers above 2,000 psi. Keep gutters and valleys clear so water can flow freely. Document any repairs or accessory penetrations (solar mounts, satellite dishes) and use manufacturer-approved sealants so coverage stays intact.
Can I transfer my metal roof warranty to the next homeowner if I sell my house?
Yes. Both the product warranty and our workmanship warranty are fully transferable one time within the first 10 years. The new owner simply needs to notify us within 60 days of closing, and we’ll update the registration at no charge. A transferable warranty can add significant resale value because buyers know the roof is protected for decades.
