FAQs
What makes sleek metal panel roofing a smart choice for homes and businesses in Lynchburg?
Metal panels offer a 50-plus-year service life—more than double that of architectural shingles—while resisting fire, mildew, insects, and wind gusts that regularly top 90 mph in Central Virginia. Their high-reflectivity coatings meet ENERGY STAR® criteria, lowering attic temperatures by up to 30 °F and trimming summer cooling bills 10–25 %. The crisp, modern profile also boosts curb appeal and resale value, typically recouping 85–95 % of its cost at resale in the Mid-Atlantic market.
How does a metal roof stand up to Lynchburg’s weather extremes, from heavy summer storms to occasional snow and ice?
Our 24-gauge steel panels are UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated to shrug off large hail and feature interlocking seams that resist wind uplift to 140 mph—well above local code. A baked-on PVDF finish prevents chalking and fading under intense UV. In winter, the smooth surface sheds snow quickly, and optional color-matched snow guards control the slide where walkways or landscaping need protection.
Will rain or hail make a metal roof uncomfortably noisy inside?
Not when installed correctly. We add a high-density synthetic underlayment and, when needed, a ½-inch foam backer that absorbs vibration. With attic insulation in place, interior sound levels are comparable to (or quieter than) an asphalt-shingle roof—roughly 50–60 dB during a heavy downpour, on par with normal conversation.
What does a metal roof replacement cost in Lynchburg, and is financing available?
Installed pricing runs $9–$14 per square foot, depending on panel profile, color finish, roof complexity, and whether tear-off is required. For a 2,200 sq ft roof, that’s roughly $20,000–$28,000. Although the upfront investment is higher than shingles, the longer life, energy savings, and insurance discounts (often 5–15 % for Class 4 roofs) make total ownership costs lower over 30 years. We partner with regional lenders to offer 0 % APR promotions for 12 months and fixed-rate plans up to 144 months.
Can metal panels be installed over my existing shingles, and how long will the project take?
If your current deck is sound and local code permits, we can lay panels over a breathable slip sheet, eliminating tear-off mess and landfill fees. However, roofs with soft decking, multiple layers of shingles, or moisture damage are better served by a full removal. A typical single-family replacement takes 2–4 days, weather permitting, including site clean-up and magnetic nail sweep.
What maintenance is required, and how do I keep the warranty valid?
Metal roofs are largely maintenance-free: just clear leaves from valleys and gutters twice a year and rinse pollen or debris with a garden hose. Avoid walking on panels with gritty shoes. Your 40-year finish warranty and 25-year workmanship warranty stay intact with an annual visual inspection (free for our customers) and prompt sealing of any new roof penetrations—satellite dishes, solar mounts, etc.—with manufacturer-approved sealant.
