FAQs
How long can a metal roof be expected to last on a home in Jonesborough?
With proper installation and minimal maintenance, a high-quality steel or aluminum roof will typically last 40–70 years in Jonesborough’s four-season climate—about two to three times longer than an average asphalt-shingle roof. Metal resists UV degradation, wind uplift, hail, and freeze-thaw cycles, making it an ideal long-term solution for Northeast Tennessee homes.
Will a metal roof make my home hotter or colder?
No. In fact, metal roofing can improve energy efficiency. Most panels come with high-reflectance coatings that bounce solar radiation away, keeping attic temperatures lower in summer. In winter, properly installed underlayment and optional rigid foam help retain interior heat. Homeowners in Jonesborough commonly report 10–25% savings on cooling costs after switching to metal.
Is metal roofing noisy when it rains?
When installed over solid decking with a quality underlayment, a metal roof is no louder than an asphalt roof. The sheathing, attic insulation, and air space dampen sound. Modern fastener and panel systems are engineered to minimize vibration, so you’ll hear only a gentle patter typical of any roofing material.
Can a metal roof withstand the wind and hail we occasionally get in Jonesborough?
Yes. Our standing-seam and interlocking metal panels are rated for wind speeds up to 140 mph and meet UL 2218 Class 4 impact standards—the highest hail-resistance rating available. This exceeds local building codes and often earns homeowners insurance discounts.
Do I have to remove my existing shingles before installing a metal roof?
Not necessarily. In many cases we can install metal panels directly over one layer of asphalt shingles, provided the existing deck is sound and local code allows it. This saves disposal costs, reduces installation time, and adds an extra layer of insulation. During your free inspection, we’ll determine whether a tear-off or lay-over is best for your home’s structure and ventilation.
What warranty and maintenance should I expect?
Our metal roofing systems include a 30- to 40-year manufacturer’s finish warranty against fading, chalking, and peeling, plus a transferable lifetime workmanship warranty from our company. Maintenance is simple: keep gutters clear, remove large debris after storms, and schedule a quick roof check every few years. No periodic re-sealing or shingle replacement is required, giving you decades of worry-free protection.
