FAQs
What are the main benefits of choosing metal roofing for my Lancing property?
Metal roofing offers a lifespan of 50+ years, resists fire, mildew and insects, and is up to 60 % lighter than concrete or clay tiles, reducing structural stress. Modern metal panels come in a wide range of colours and profiles, giving you design flexibility while boosting resale value. Because metal is 100 % recyclable, it is also one of the most environmentally friendly roofing options available.
How long does a precision metal-roof installation usually take?
For an average three-bedroom home in Lancing, our crew can normally remove the old roof and install the new metal system in 1–3 days. Larger or more complex roofs, custom flashings, or adverse weather can extend that timeframe slightly. We provide a detailed schedule before work begins so you always know what to expect.
Will a metal roof stand up to Lancing’s coastal weather?
Yes. We use marine-grade aluminium, zinc-aluminium (Galvalume), or high-quality steel panels with baked-on Kynar® coatings that are specifically engineered to resist salt spray, high humidity and wind speeds over 140 mph. Properly fastened with stainless-steel fixings and backed by manufacturer warranties, your new roof will outperform traditional materials in Lancing’s coastal climate.
Are metal roofs energy-efficient and will they lower my utility bills?
Metal roofing reflects a large portion of solar radiation, keeping attic temperatures lower in summer. Cool-roof coatings can reduce cooling costs by 25–40 %, and many systems qualify for local or federal energy-efficiency incentives. In winter, metal sheds snow quickly, preventing ice damming and reducing heating losses.
Can you install a metal roof over my existing asphalt shingles?
In many cases, yes. Because metal is lightweight, it can often be installed over a single layer of sound shingles, saving tear-off costs and keeping waste out of landfills. We first inspect the decking, ventilation and local building codes to ensure the substrate is structurally sound and meets fire-safety requirements.
What maintenance and warranty coverage should I expect?
Maintenance is minimal: rinse debris from valleys and gutters once or twice a year and schedule a professional inspection after severe storms. Our preferred manufacturers provide 30–50-year material warranties against corrosion and paint fade, while Precision Installation Roofing backs every Lancing installation with a 10-year workmanship guarantee for complete peace of mind.
