FAQs
What advantages does a premium metal roof offer Louisville homeowners compared with traditional shingles?
A premium metal system delivers unmatched longevity (50–70-year life expectancy), resists mold and rot, and withstands wind gusts up to 140 mph—ideal for the strong storms Louisville occasionally sees. Metal is also non-combustible, giving your home a Class A fire rating. Unlike asphalt shingles that can curl or crack in Kentucky’s freeze-thaw cycles, metal panels expand and contract without losing integrity, meaning fewer repairs and lower long-term cost of ownership.
How well does metal roofing perform in Louisville’s climate of hot summers, cold winters, and frequent hail?
High-quality steel or aluminum panels are engineered to shed heavy rain quickly, minimizing ice dam formation in winter. Many of our products meet UL 2218 Class 4 impact ratings, so they resist denting from hail—a common summer threat in the Ohio Valley. Reflective coatings keep attic temperatures cooler during 90 °F+ July days, while integrated underlayment systems prevent condensation when temperatures drop below freezing in January.
What metal roofing styles, colors, and finishes do you provide?
We install standing-seam, textured 5-V crimp, metal shingles, and stone-coated steel. Thickness options range from 24- to 29-gauge steel and .032- to .040-inch aluminum. Factory-applied PVDF (Kynar 500®) coatings offer more than 30 fade-resistant colors—everything from classic Colonial Red to modern Matte Black. For historic Highlands or Crescent Hill homes, we can replicate the look of slate or cedar shake with stamped metal shingle profiles while delivering modern durability.
What does the installation process look like and how long will my project take?
After a free on-site assessment, we perform detailed measurements with drone imagery or manual verification to fabricate panels to exact lengths. On installation day, our certified crew removes old roofing down to the decking, checks for rot, installs synthetic underlayment and high-temp ice shield at eaves and valleys, then secures panels with concealed fasteners. A typical 2,500 sq ft Louisville roof takes 2–4 days, weather permitting. We manage debris disposal with on-site dumpsters and perform a magnetic nail sweep when finished.
Will a metal roof lower my energy bills?
Yes. Cool-roof rated metal surfaces reflect up to 70 % of solar radiation, reducing attic heat gain by as much as 30 °F. Homeowners in Jefferson County report HVAC energy savings of 10–25 % annually. In winter, the same roof retains heat by reflecting interior radiant energy back into the home. The result is less strain on both air-conditioning and heating systems and potential eligibility for local energy-efficiency tax incentives when available.
What warranties and maintenance requirements come with your premium metal systems?
Our standing-seam and metal shingle products carry a 40-year finish warranty against chalking, fading, and peeling plus a 30-year workmanship warranty backed by our Louisville office. Maintenance is minimal: an annual garden-hose rinse to remove pollen, quick inspection of sealant around penetrations every 5 years, and gutter cleaning to keep water runoff unobstructed. No scheduled re-sealing or shingle replacement is needed, saving thousands over the roof’s lifetime.
