FAQs
What does it mean that your crews are factory-certified?
Factory-certified means every installer on our team has completed the manufacturer’s official training program for the specific metal roofing systems we sell. Certification verifies that we follow the exact fastening patterns, panel alignments, underlayment specs, and flashing details required to keep the roof eligible for the full manufacturer warranty. It also ensures our crews are up-to-date on the latest safety standards, product improvements, and best practices for working on steep-slope and low-slope metal roofs in Jasper’s climate.
Which types of metal roofing do you install in Jasper?
We install standing-seam concealed-fastener panels, exposed-fastener rib panels, metal shingles, and specialty stamped metal tiles. Materials include galvanized steel, Galvalume® steel, aluminum, and copper. Panel gauges range from 24- to 29-ga for residential projects and 22- to 24-ga for light-commercial roofs. Because every project is custom-fabricated, we can match nearly any color in Kynar 500® or SMP finishes and supply matching trim, gutter, and snow-guard accessories.
How long can I expect a metal roof to last compared with asphalt shingles?
A factory-installed metal roof typically lasts 40–70 years, depending on the alloy and coating chosen, while a standard architectural asphalt shingle roof averages 15–25 years in Jasper. Metal resists UV degradation, wind uplift, and granular loss, so it maintains its weathertightness far longer. Most of our panel systems carry a 30- to 40-year paint finish warranty and a 50-year base metal warranty, giving you decades of nearly maintenance-free performance.
Is metal roofing energy-efficient for homes in Jasper’s hot summers and cool winters?
Yes. High-reflectivity paint systems such as Cool Roof certified Kynar® finishes reflect up to 70 % of solar heat, reducing attic temperatures by as much as 30 °F in summer. In winter, the low emissivity of metal helps retain interior heat. Combined with a vented deck or radiant-barrier underlayment, many homeowners report 10–25 % lower HVAC costs. Metal also accommodates photovoltaic panels easily if you plan to add solar power later.
Can a metal roof withstand Jasper’s hailstorms and high winds?
Absolutely. Our standing-seam systems are tested to UL 580 Class 90 uplift and ASTM E1592 for high-wind resistance—well above local code requirements. Steel panels have a Class 4 impact rating, the highest available, meaning they resist 2-inch hail without cracking or penetrating the surface. Because panels interlock and attach with concealed clips, there are no tabs to lift or shingles to blow off during severe thunderstorms common to Walker County.
What is the typical installation timeline and process?
Most residential projects take 3–5 days from tear-off to final inspection. Day 1: we protect landscaping, remove existing roofing, and inspect the deck. Day 2: any decking repairs are made, ice-and-water shield and synthetic underlayment are installed, and starter panels are laid out. Day 3–4: field panels are roll-formed on-site, fastened, and seamed; trim, ridge caps, and flashings are fit. Day 5: gutters, snow guards, and cleanup. A project manager is on-site daily, and our factory-certification checklists are completed before issuing your labor and manufacturer warranties.
