FAQs
What are the main advantages of choosing a metal roof for my La Follette home or business?
Metal roofing offers superior longevity (40–70 years), exceptional resistance to wind, hail, and fire, and very low maintenance compared with asphalt shingles. Its reflective coatings help reduce summer cooling costs, and most panels are manufactured with up to 30 % recycled material and are 100 % recyclable at the end of their service life. A metal roof also adds resale value because buyers appreciate the long-term protection it provides.
How long will a metal roof installed by Clear Communication Roofing last?
With proper installation and minimal maintenance, our standing-seam and ribbed-panel systems routinely last 50 years or more. Factory-applied Kynar® or SMP paint finishes carry 30- to 40-year color fade and chalk warranties, while the metal substrate itself is backed by 40- to 50-year manufacturer warranties against rust perforation. In most cases, a metal roof will be the last roof you ever buy.
Will a metal roof make my home noisier during rain or hail storms?
No. When installed over solid decking and underlayment—as required by Tennessee building codes—metal roofs are no louder than shingle roofs. The roof deck, insulation, and attic airspace all act as sound buffers. Many homeowners actually report a quieter interior once old shingles and gaps are replaced with a continuous metal system.
How does a metal roof perform in the severe weather we experience in Campbell County?
Our panels are rated for wind speeds of 140–150 mph and carry UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance, the highest rating available. The interlocking seams resist wind uplift, and factory-applied coatings prevent corrosion from the region’s humidity. Metal sheds heavy snow quickly, reducing structural load, and it’s non-combustible, giving you added peace of mind during lightning storms or nearby fires.
What can I expect during the installation process?
After a free inspection and detailed quote, we order exact-length panels to minimize on-site cutting. On installation day, our crew removes old roofing down to the decking, replaces any damaged wood, installs high-temperature underlayment and leak-proof flashings, then secures the metal panels with concealed fasteners. Most residential projects in La Follette are completed in 2–3 days, weather permitting, and we leave the property clean and nail-free with a magnetic sweep.
Is metal roofing more expensive than asphalt shingles, and do you offer financing or warranties?
Up-front, a metal roof costs 2–3 times more than a basic architectural shingle roof. However, when you factor in a 50-year lifespan, energy savings, and virtually no replacement costs, metal becomes the more economical choice over time. Clear Communication Roofing offers flexible financing plans with low monthly payments and no pre-payment penalties. Every installation includes a 5-year workmanship warranty from us plus the manufacturer’s material and finish warranties, giving you comprehensive coverage.
