FAQs
How long can I expect a metal roof to last in Kelso’s climate?
A properly installed, high-quality metal roof typically lasts 40–70 years in Kelso. The material resists the region’s heavy rains, occasional snow, moss growth, and wind gusts far better than asphalt shingles. Most manufacturers back their panels with 30- to 50-year warranties, and our worry-free protection package includes workmanship coverage on top of the material warranty.
Will a metal roof make my home noisier during rainstorms?
No. Modern metal roofing systems are installed over a solid sheathing deck, underlayment, and (in many cases) existing shingles. These layers, combined with attic insulation, dampen sound so effectively that indoor noise levels are comparable to or quieter than traditional roofing. If additional acoustic performance is desired, we can add a high-density sound-deadening underlayment as part of your worry-free package.
Is metal roofing energy-efficient in the Pacific Northwest?
Yes. Kelso homeowners can reduce cooling costs by 10–25 % because metal panels reflect a high percentage of solar radiation instead of absorbing it. Our preferred coatings are ENERGY STAR® rated and include infrared-reflective pigments that help keep attic temperatures lower in summer. In winter, the roof’s low thermal mass means it sheds heat quickly after sunset, minimizing ice-dam formation and protecting your insulation’s R-value.
Can a metal roof be installed over my existing asphalt shingles?
Often, yes. Local building codes allow a metal “roof-over” as long as the current shingles are flat, the decking is sound, and there is only one existing layer. This option saves tear-off costs, shortens installation time, and keeps debris out of landfills. During your free inspection we check ventilation, flashing, and structural load to confirm whether a direct-overlay or full tear-off best fits your home and our worry-free warranty requirements.
How much does a metal roof cost compared to traditional roofing?
Up-front, you can expect to invest two to three times more than a standard architectural asphalt roof. However, when you factor in the metal roof’s longer life, minimal maintenance, potential energy savings, and higher resale value, the long-term cost per year of service is usually lower. We provide detailed, written estimates along with financing options so Kelso homeowners can spread the investment over comfortable monthly payments.
What maintenance does a metal roof require?
Maintenance is simple: keep gutters clear, remove large debris (branches, wet leaves), and schedule a quick inspection every 2–3 years. Our worry-free protection program includes an annual check-up for the first five years, sealing of any exposed fasteners, and free touch-up paint for scratches. Metal roofing does not crack, split, or warp, and its slick surface sheds moss and algae, making it virtually maintenance-free compared with other materials.
