FAQs
What advantages does a metal roof offer Luttrell homeowners over traditional shingles?
Metal roofs last 40–70+ years, far longer than typical asphalt shingles (15–20 years). They shed rain and snow quickly, resist mold and insects, and carry the highest fire-resistance rating (Class A). Because the painted panels reflect solar heat, you can see up to 25 % savings on summer cooling bills—especially valuable in East Tennessee’s warm, humid climate. Metal is also lightweight, which reduces structural stress, and is 100 % recyclable at the end of its service life, making it an eco-friendly choice.
How well does a metal roof stand up to the severe weather we see around Luttrell?
Quality steel or aluminum panels are engineered to meet UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance, meaning they can withstand 2" hail without cracking. Interlocking systems are wind-rated up to 140–155 mph—well above the strongest gusts produced by regional thunderstorms. Metal will not absorb water or blow off in sheets the way shingles can, and its non-combustible surface provides critical protection against lightning-sparked fires.
Will a metal roof make my home hotter in summer or colder in winter?
No. Modern metal roofing is finished with high-reflectivity, cool-roof coatings that bounce away much of the sun’s radiant heat. Combined with proper attic ventilation and insulation, the roof helps maintain a stable indoor temperature year-round. In winter, the roof’s low thermal mass means it stops losing heat as soon as the sun sets, helping your insulation keep warmth inside.
Is a metal roof noisy when it rains?
Today’s metal roofing is installed over solid roof decking, underlayment, and the existing attic insulation. These layers absorb sound so effectively that interior noise levels are comparable to—or quieter than—those under an asphalt-shingle roof. For ultra-quiet performance, we can add an optional acoustic underlayment during installation.
What kind of upkeep does a metal roof require?
Maintenance is minimal. Plan on an annual or semi-annual inspection to clear leaves from valleys and gutters, check for loose fasteners, and verify that sealant around flashings is intact. If tree sap, pollen, or airborne grime accumulates, a gentle wash with a garden hose and mild detergent will restore the finish. Because the panels are factory-painted with fade- and chalk-resistant coatings, no re-painting is normally needed for 30–40 years.
How much does metal roofing cost and how long does installation take?
Up-front, a metal roof typically costs 2–3 × more than a basic shingle roof, but its extended life means your cost per year of service is often lower. Many insurance carriers offer 5–35 % premium discounts for UL 2218 metal roofs, further improving the payback. A typical single-family home in Luttrell can be re-roofed in 2–5 days, weather permitting—about the same timeframe as shingle replacement, but with a roof that you likely will never have to replace again.
