FAQs
How long can I expect a metal reroof to last in Johnson City’s climate?
High-quality standing-seam or metal shingle roofs routinely last 40–70 years in East Tennessee. Our region’s mix of hot summers, occasional ice, and heavy spring rains is well within a steel or aluminum panel’s performance range when the roof is properly installed over an approved underlayment. Periodic inspections and simple maintenance, such as clearing debris from valleys, can push service life toward the upper end of that range.
Is a metal reroof more expensive than traditional asphalt shingles?
Up-front, a metal reroof typically costs 2–3 times more than a standard architectural-shingle replacement in the Johnson City market. However, once you factor in its 2–3-times-longer service life, lower maintenance costs, and potential energy savings of 10–25 % on summer cooling bills, the life-cycle cost is often lower than asphalt. In addition, many carriers provide insurance premium discounts for UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated metal panels, and the federal Energy Star tax credit (up to $500) may apply to reflective metal finishes.
Will a metal reroof make my home hotter or noisier during rain?
No. Modern systems are installed over solid decking, high-temperature underlayment, and optional rigid insulation, which blocks radiant heat gain and muffles sound. Tests show rain noise on a properly installed metal roof is only 6–15 dB louder than on asphalt—about the difference between a conversation and background music. Most homeowners never notice a change.
Can my existing roof framing handle the weight of metal panels?
Almost certainly. 24- to 26-gauge steel panels weigh 1.0–1.5 lbs / sq ft, about ⅓ the weight of architectural shingles and 1/20 the weight of slate. As long as your decking is structurally sound and meets current Johnson City building codes, no reinforcement is normally required. We still perform a thorough attic and rafter inspection and replace any damaged sheathing before installation.
How disruptive is the reroofing process, and how long does it take?
A typical 2,000-sq-ft single-family home can be completely torn off and reroofed with standing-seam panels in 3–5 working days, weather permitting. Crews usually start around 7:30 a.m. and finish by late afternoon. We protect landscaping, keep one entrance clear at all times, and perform a daily magnetic nail sweep. Because metal panels are custom-cut onsite, there’s less cutting noise and debris than with shingles.
What warranties and local code approvals apply to metal reroofs in Johnson City?
Our primary manufacturers offer 40-year paint warranties against chalking and fading plus 30- to 50-year substrate warranties against perforation and rust. Labor is covered by our 10-year workmanship warranty. All installations comply with 2021 International Residential Code amendments adopted by the City of Johnson City, including 90-mph wind-uplift fastening patterns and required ice-barrier underlayment along eaves. We obtain all permits and schedule the final city inspection on your behalf.
