FAQs
Why should I upgrade to a metal roof instead of replacing my old shingles with new asphalt in Johnson City?
A metal roof offers a 50-year or longer service life—more than double that of premium asphalt—so you avoid another replacement cycle. It reflects solar heat, lowering summer cooling bills up to 25%, and is Class A fire-rated, Class 4 impact-rated, and engineered to withstand 140 mph wind gusts, a valuable feature during the thunderstorms and occasional high-wind events we see in Johnson City. Metal panels are also 100% recyclable, making them a greener choice than asphalt, which ends up in landfills.
How well does a metal roof perform in Johnson City’s mixed climate of hot summers, heavy rain, and occasional snow?
Our standing-seam and stone-coated metal panels shed rain quickly, eliminating the water infiltration issues that plague old shingle roofs. The interlocking seams resist wind-driven rain, while a baked-on Kynar 500® finish prevents color fade under intense UV exposure. In winter, the slick metal surface sheds snow before it can build up, reducing ice-dam risk. We also install optional snow guards to control slide-off above entryways. All panels are tested to UL 2218 Class 4 impact and ASTM E1592 uplift standards.
Will a metal roof make my home noisier during heavy rain or hail?
No. Modern metal roofs are installed over a solid deck with high-temperature synthetic underlayment and, in many cases, an existing layer of shingles or a ½-inch plywood re-deck. This assembly deadens sound so interior noise levels are comparable to—or quieter than—those of an asphalt roof. If additional sound attenuation is desired, we can incorporate acoustic underlayment or rigid foam insulation beneath the panels.
Can you install a metal roof over my existing shingles, and is it approved by Johnson City building codes?
Yes, provided the current deck is structurally sound and local code requirements are met. Johnson City allows one existing layer of shingles to remain as long as the roof structure can support the new metal system’s weight (about 0.9 lb/ft² for standing seam). We inspect for rot, nail pops, and decking gaps, then secure furring strips or a slip sheet before attaching panels. Going over shingles saves tear-off labor, reduces landfill waste, and adds a secondary sound/thermal barrier—yet it does not void our manufacturer’s warranty.
What warranties and maintenance requirements come with your metal roofing systems?
Our primary standing-seam product carries a 40-year limited paint warranty against chalk and fade, plus a 30-year substrate warranty for rust perforation. We back our workmanship with a transferable lifetime labor warranty. Routine maintenance is minimal: keep gutters clear, remove large debris after storms, and schedule a free inspection every 5 years. No periodic sealing or granular replacement is necessary, unlike asphalt.
How much does a metal roof cost in Johnson City, and are there financial incentives?
Installed costs typically range from $9 to $14 per square foot, depending on panel profile, roof complexity, and whether tear-off is required. While that’s 2–3× the price of mid-grade asphalt, the investment pays back through lower energy bills, elimination of future replacement cycles, and up to 20% higher resale value. Many Johnson City homeowners receive insurance discounts for Class 4 impact resistance, and ENERGY STAR® rated colors may qualify for federal tax credits when available. We provide transparent quotes, financing options, and can assist with paperwork for incentives or insurance premium reductions.
