FAQs
Why is metal roofing a smart choice for homes in Jefferson City’s hot summers?
Metal panels reflect a high percentage of the sun’s radiant heat instead of absorbing it like asphalt shingles. This keeps attic temperatures lower, reduces the strain on your air-conditioning system, and can cut summer energy bills by 10–25 %. In Jefferson City, where July highs average in the 90s, that reflectivity translates into real comfort and savings.
How long does a metal roof installed by Summer Sun Roofing typically last?
Our standing-seam and metal shingle systems are engineered for a service life of 50–70 years. They will not rot, crack, or peel, and the baked-on Kynar® finish resists fading for decades. By comparison, a quality architectural asphalt roof in mid-Missouri lasts about 18–25 years. Most homeowners will reroof once with metal and never have to think about replacement again.
Will a metal roof make my house louder when it rains or hails?
No. Modern metal roofing is installed over attic insulation and a solid roof deck, which together dampen sound transmission. Independent tests show interior noise levels under a metal roof are within 1–2 decibels of an asphalt roof—an amount the human ear can barely perceive. Optional high-density underlayments can further deaden sound if desired.
Is metal roofing more expensive, and what is the long-term return on investment?
Up-front, metal costs 2–3 times more than basic three-tab shingles, but only 20–40 % more than premium architectural asphalt. Because metal lasts two to three times longer, requires virtually no maintenance, lowers energy bills, and can reduce homeowners-insurance premiums by up to 35 %, it often proves the lowest-cost roofing option over a 30- to 50-year span. A national remodeling study shows metal roofs recoup 85-90 % of their cost at resale in the Midwest.
How does a metal roof handle Jefferson City’s wind, hail, and severe weather?
Our concealed-fastener standing-seam panels are rated to withstand 140 mph winds—well above Missouri’s design requirements. The interlocking seams resist uplift and prevent water intrusion during driving rain. Metal easily deflects 1.5-inch hail without cracking; most panels carry a Class 4 impact rating, the highest available. They are also Class A fire-rated, giving you peace of mind during lightning storms and wildfires.
What maintenance is required, and what warranties does Summer Sun Roofing provide?
Metal roofs need only occasional rinsing with a garden hose to remove pollen or debris. We recommend an annual visual inspection of valleys, flashings, and gutters—no granule loss or shingle curling to worry about. Summer Sun Roofing backs every installation with a 40-year manufacturer finish warranty and a 10-year workmanship warranty. Should any panel shift or fastener back out during that period, we repair it free of charge.
