FAQs
What does your free metal roof inspection in Jasper include?
Our technician will examine every critical component of your metal roofing system—panels, seams, fasteners, flashing, vents, gutters, and the underlying decking. We look for corrosion, loose screws, oil-canning, storm or hail impact, moisture intrusion, and attic ventilation issues. Photos and drone imagery are captured when appropriate, and you receive a detailed digital report within 24 hours outlining the roof’s condition, life-expectancy, and any recommended repairs or upgrades.
Why should I consider a metal roof for my Jasper home or business?
Metal roofs are engineered to last 40–70 years, far outpacing asphalt shingles. They withstand winds up to 140 mph, shed heavy rain quickly, and are highly resistant to hail and fire—major concerns in the Jasper area. The reflective coatings reduce cooling bills by 10–25 %, and modern styles (standing seam, metal shingles, stone-coated steel) come in dozens of colors that complement any architectural style. Because they’re lightweight, metal panels often can be installed over existing shingles, saving tear-off costs and keeping material out of landfills.
How much does a new metal roof cost, and will the inspection include an estimate?
Installed costs in Jasper generally range from $6 to $12 per square foot, depending on panel profile, metal gauge (26 vs. 24 ga), finish, roof complexity, and whether decking repairs are needed. During your free inspection we measure the roof with professional software, discuss style options, and provide a firm, itemized proposal—labor, materials, permits, accessories, and disposal—with no hidden fees. We also explain financing plans and potential homeowners-insurance or energy-efficiency rebates.
What is the timeline from inspection to completed metal roof installation?
Most residential projects follow this schedule: (1) Free inspection and proposal—same day or next day; (2) Contract signing and color selection—1–2 days; (3) Permit procurement and material order—3–5 business days; (4) Installation—2–4 days for typical 2,500 sq ft roofs, weather permitting; (5) Final walkthrough and cleanup—same day as completion. Commercial or highly complex roofs may take longer, but we provide a written timeline before work begins and keep you updated if rain or high winds cause delays.
Do Jasper building codes or insurance requirements affect metal roofing projects?
Yes. Walker County and the City of Jasper follow the International Residential Code (IRC) with local amendments, including minimum 90-mph wind uplift ratings, Class A fire resistance, and specific underlayment requirements for low-slope sections. Homeowners in designated historic districts may have color or profile limitations. Many insurers offer premium discounts for impact-resistant metal roofs, but they often require proof of installer certification and a final inspection report—we supply all necessary documentation and pull permits on your behalf.
What warranties and maintenance services come with your metal roofs?
Our standing-seam and metal shingle systems carry a 40-year manufacturer paint warranty and a 30-year substrate warranty against rust perforation. We also include a transferable 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation-related leaks or fastener issues. To keep the warranty valid, we recommend an annual maintenance check—panel wash, debris removal, and screw-tightening—which we provide at a discounted rate for clients who schedule through our free inspection program.
