FAQs
What advantages do specialty metal roofing panels offer homeowners and businesses in Lynchburg?
Specialty metal panels deliver a 50-plus-year service life, far exceeding asphalt shingles. They reflect up to 70 % of solar heat, lowering cooling bills during Lynchburg’s humid summers, and are rated Class A for fire resistance—an important safety factor in wooded areas surrounding the city. The panels are 100 % recyclable, come in a wide palette of factory-baked finishes, and add contemporary curb appeal that can increase property value by 5-10 %.
How well do metal panels handle Lynchburg’s climate, including heavy rain, wind, and occasional snow?
Our panels are engineered for 140 mph wind uplift and have interlocking seams that prevent wind-driven rain from penetrating the roof deck. High-performance Kynar 500 coatings resist the humidity that can accelerate corrosion in Central Virginia. A slick factory finish sheds snow quickly, minimizing ice dams, while optional snow-guard accessories protect gutters and landscaping below.
What types of specialty metal panels do you install and which profiles work best for different applications?
We stock three primary systems: 1) mechanically seamed standing seam (24-ga. steel or 0.032 aluminum) for low-slope commercial roofs and high-end residences; 2) snap-lock standing seam (26-ga. steel) ideal for typical 4:12 or steeper residential pitches; and 3) 7/8-in. corrugated exposed-fastener panels for barns, workshops, and budget-minded projects. All profiles are available in energy-saving Cool Roof colors that comply with ENERGY STAR® requirements.
Are metal roofs noisy during Lynchburg’s summer thunderstorms or hail events?
When installed over a solid roof deck with a high-density synthetic underlayment, a metal roof is only 2–3 dB louder than an architectural shingle roof—barely noticeable to most occupants. The attic insulation you already have further dampens sound. Many customers report that indoor noise is the same or even quieter after their metal roof replacement.
How long does installation usually take, and will the process disrupt my daily routine?
A typical 2,500-sq-ft Lynchburg home can be completed in three to five working days, weather permitting. We remove old roofing one section at a time, immediately waterproofing the deck to keep your interior protected. Our crews work 8 a.m.–5 p.m., so most noise stops by late afternoon, and portable dump trailers ensure minimal impact on your driveway and landscaping.
What maintenance and warranty coverage can I expect with a specialty metal panel roof?
Maintenance is simple: clear debris from valleys and gutters twice a year and rinse the roof with a garden hose if pollen builds up. No sealing or re-coating is required. You receive a 40-year manufacturer’s finish warranty, a 25-year limited weathertightness warranty on standing-seam systems, and our own 10-year workmanship guarantee—transferable if you sell your Lynchburg property.
