FAQs
What makes metal roofing a good choice for homes and businesses in Kodak’s climate?
Kodak experiences hot, humid summers, occasional hail, and heavy downpours—conditions that can deteriorate traditional shingles quickly. Steel and aluminum panels resist wind uplift to 140 mph, will not absorb moisture, and shed rain and snow rapidly thanks to their interlocking seams. A high-reflectivity finish also bounces back a significant portion of the sun’s heat, helping interiors stay cooler and reducing expansion-and-contraction stress on the roof.
How long can I expect a metal roof installed by Pounding Rain Roofing to last?
Our standing-seam and metal shingle systems carry 40- to 50-year manufacturer warranties, with life expectancies that often exceed 60 years when properly maintained. The concealed-fastener design we prefer protects screws from UV exposure and weather, further extending service life compared with exposed-fastener alternatives.
Can you install a new metal roof over my existing asphalt shingles?
In many cases, yes. Building code in Sevier County allows one recover layer as long as the current roof deck is structurally sound and there are no more than two existing roof coverings. Installing over shingles saves tear-off costs and keeps old material out of landfills. We always perform a full deck inspection and add a high-temperature synthetic underlayment to prevent condensation before attaching the new panels.
Will a metal roof be noisy during pounding rain storms?
A modern metal roof is only marginally louder than architectural shingles. We attach panels over solid decking and a sound-dampening underlayment, which absorb vibration. If your attic has adequate insulation, most homeowners notice no significant difference—even during the summer thunderbursts Kodak is known for.
What styles, profiles, and colors of metal roofing do you offer?
Pounding Rain Roofing stocks 24-gauge standing-seam panels in 26 Energy Star®-rated colors, plus stone-coated steel that mimics slate, shake, or tile. We can also special-order corrugated panels, galvanized agricultural panels, and architectural metal shingles. All finishes use Kynar 500®/PVDF paint, which resists chalking and fading for decades.
Is metal roofing energy-efficient and will it lower my utility bills?
Yes. A cool-roof–rated metal panel reflects up to 70 % of solar radiation and re-emits most absorbed heat quickly, reducing attic temperatures by as much as 30 °F. Many Kodak clients see 10–25 % summer energy savings. In winter, a properly ventilated and insulated roof assembly keeps heat inside, preventing ice dams and lowering heating costs.
