FAQs
What advantages does a premium metal roof offer over traditional asphalt shingles in Kingsport’s climate?
Metal roofs are engineered to handle East Tennessee’s wide temperature swings, frequent rain, and high humidity. They reflect solar heat instead of absorbing it, which lowers attic temperatures and helps reduce cooling costs by 10–25 %. Unlike asphalt shingles that can crack or curl in prolonged sun exposure, 24- or 26-gauge steel panels resist UV degradation, high winds, and biological growth such as algae or moss. The result is a roof that lasts 50 + years, needs very little maintenance, and keeps its curb appeal long after an asphalt roof would require replacement.
How long will my metal roof last, and what warranties do you provide?
A properly installed premium metal roof routinely delivers a service life of 50–70 years—two to three times longer than an architectural-grade shingle roof. We partner with manufacturers that back their panels with a 40- to 50-year transferable finish warranty covering fading, chalking, and film integrity. In addition, our company supplies a 10-year workmanship warranty that covers any installation-related issues. Together, these warranties give you long-term peace of mind and enhance your home’s resale value.
Will a metal roof make my home hotter in summer or noisier during rain?
No. High-performance paint systems reflect a significant portion of radiant heat, keeping attic spaces cooler than most dark-colored shingles. When paired with proper attic ventilation, homeowners often see lower summertime energy bills. As for noise, modern metal roofing is installed over solid sheathing, an acoustic underlayment, and sometimes an existing shingle layer. This assembly absorbs sound, so interior noise levels are comparable to—or quieter than—those under an asphalt roof during heavy rain.
Can a metal roof withstand Kingsport’s heavy rain, hail, and occasional snow events?
Yes. Our standing-seam and multi-rib panels are fabricated from high-strength steel that carries a Class 4 hail-impact rating and is approved to withstand wind speeds up to 140 mph, well above building code requirements for Sullivan County. Concealed fasteners and raised seams create a watertight barrier that sheds rain quickly, while a baked-on finish resists corrosion from acid rain. For snow, the slick metal surface encourages snow-shedding to minimize ice dam formation, and optional snow-guard systems keep large sheets of snow from sliding off in one piece.
How does the cost of premium metal roofing compare to other materials, and what return on investment can I expect?
Up-front, a premium metal roof typically costs 2–3 times more than an architectural asphalt roof. However, the long lifecycle means you avoid at least one full replacement, saving thousands in future labor and material costs. Energy savings, insurance discounts for Class 4 hail resistance, and a documented increase in resale value—often 6–7 %—provide additional returns. Over 50 years, the total cost of ownership for metal roofing is commonly lower than for asphalt, wood shake, or low-end tile.
Do I have to remove my existing shingles before you install a metal roof?
Not always. Kingsport’s building code permits installing metal roofing over a single layer of shingles provided the existing deck is dry, level, and structurally sound. During our free inspection, we check for soft spots, excessive weight loads, and ventilation needs. If everything passes, going over the current roof can save tear-off fees and keep debris out of landfills. If decking is compromised or multiple shingle layers are present, we recommend a complete removal to ensure the new metal system performs to its full rated lifespan.
