FAQs
Why should I replace my weather-worn asphalt shingles with a metal roof in Jasper?
Switching to steel or aluminum panels eliminates common shingle problems such as curling, granule loss, and leak-prone nail holes. Metal is non-porous, resists moss and mildew in Jasper’s humid climate, and has the highest wind ratings (often 140 mph+). Interlocking panels are screwed to the deck, making blow-offs rare, while the sleek surface reflects heat, lowers cooling costs, and boosts resale value.
How does a metal roof perform in Jasper’s hot, storm-prone climate?
Jasper’s weather brings intense summer sun, heavy thunderstorms, and the occasional hail or freeze. Modern metal roofing is built for these extremes: reflective coatings can drop attic temperatures by up to 25 °F, Class 4 impact ratings protect against 2-inch hail, and baked-on Kynar® paint resists UV fading. Panels are also rated for 120-psf wind uplift, ideal for ridge-top gusts, and their smooth surface sheds snow quickly in winter to prevent ice dams.
Will a metal roof be noisier than shingles when it rains?
No. When installed over synthetic underlayment, a plywood deck, and attic insulation, a metal roof is only about 6–7 dB louder than shingles—a difference comparable to a fridge hum. The air gap and solid fastening actually dampen vibration. For complete peace and quiet, an acoustic membrane or additional attic insulation can be added during installation.
What lifespan and warranty can I expect from metal roofing versus shingles?
Architectural asphalt shingles generally last 15–20 years in Jasper before granules erode and leaks appear. A premium metal roof carries a 40–50-year manufacturer’s warranty and often lasts 60–70 years or more. The paint finish is guaranteed not to chip, chalk, or fade beyond minimal color-shift values, and reputable installers include a 30-year workmanship warranty—meaning one metal roof can outlast two or three shingle replacements.
Can metal roofing be installed over my existing shingles?
In most cases, yes. Jasper’s building code allows a single layer of shingles to remain if the decking is solid and flat. Installing over shingles saves tear-off labor, landfill fees, and provides an extra insulation layer. Our team inspects for rot, protruding nails, or ventilation issues; if any are discovered, we’ll recommend removing the old roof before proceeding.
How much does it cost to switch to metal roofing, and are there energy savings or rebates?
In Jasper, a standing-seam or high-quality metal roof typically costs $9–$12 per square foot installed, versus $4–$6 for architectural shingles. Although the upfront investment is higher, homeowners recoup up to 85 % of the cost in added property value. ENERGY STAR®-rated panels can reduce cooling bills by 10–15 %, local utilities sometimes offer rebates for cool roofs, and insurers may discount premiums by 5–35 % due to metal’s fire and hail resistance.
