FAQs
What makes your metal panels energy-efficient, and how does that benefit Jamestown homeowners?
Our panels are manufactured with high-reflectivity Kynar® or SMP paint systems that bounce a large portion of the sun’s infrared heat away from the building envelope. This reduces attic and wall cavity temperatures, allowing HVAC equipment to run less and maintain steadier indoor comfort. In Jamestown, where summers can be warm and humid, customers typically see cooling-energy reductions of 10–25 %, translating into lower monthly utility bills and a smaller carbon footprint year-round.
How do metal roofing and siding panels perform in Jamestown’s climate, including heavy snow and wind?
The interlocking standing-seam and concealed-fastener profiles we install are tested to ASTM E-1646 (water penetration) and E-1592 (uplift) standards, with wind ratings up to 140 mph. Heavy-gauge steel (24–26 ga) easily carries Jamestown’s average 40-lb/ft² snow loads; the slick metal surface sheds snow faster than asphalt shingles, minimizing ice-dam formation. Factory-applied Galvalume® substrate resists corrosion from lake-effect moisture, giving you decades of trouble-free performance.
Are energy-efficient metal panels more expensive upfront, and what is the payback period through energy savings?
Yes, premium metal systems cost 15–25 % more than basic asphalt or vinyl at installation. However, they last two to three times longer (50+ years), require virtually no repairs, and lower heating/cooling demand. Most Jamestown customers recoup the price difference in 7–12 years through combined energy savings, reduced maintenance, and potential homeowners-insurance discounts. After payback, the energy savings continue for the life of the roof or siding.
Can metal panels be installed over existing roofs or siding in Jamestown to reduce landfill waste?
In many cases, yes. Local building codes allow a metal roof to be installed over one layer of asphalt shingles, provided the deck is sound and fastening requirements are met. For siding, we can install over solid sheathing or furring strips after verifying wall integrity and adding a breathable weather barrier. Over-roofing/over-siding saves tear-off labor, shortens project time, and diverts tons of debris from Jamestown landfills.
What color and coating options are available, and how do they contribute to reflectivity and energy savings?
We stock more than 30 cool-roof colors certified by the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC). Lighter hues such as Polar White, Sandstone, and Galvalume Plus® offer solar reflectance values (SR) of 0.55–0.70, while darker pigments use infrared-reflective technology to achieve SR values above 0.25. All coatings are Energy Star® listed, meaning they meet or exceed federal criteria for solar reflectance and thermal emissivity, directly boosting energy efficiency without sacrificing aesthetics.
What kind of warranties and maintenance requirements come with your energy-efficient metal roofing and siding systems?
Our Jamestown installations include a transferable 40-year paint warranty against chalk and fade, a 30-year substrate warranty against perforation, and a 5-year workmanship warranty. Maintenance is simple: periodic visual inspections, removal of debris from valleys/gutters, and an occasional low-pressure wash. No sealing, painting, or shingle replacement is needed, which further lowers lifecycle costs and ensures your system continues to perform at peak energy-saving levels.
