FAQs
How long can I expect a metal roof to last in Maynardvilleâs climate?
With proper installation and minimal maintenance, a standing-seam or high-quality screw-down metal roof will typically last 40â70 years in the Maynardville area. The galvanized or Galvalume steel panels we use have factory-applied Kynar 500ÂŽ paint finishes that resist UV breakdown, high summer humidity, and the occasional hail we see in East Tennessee. Most homeowners never have to replace the roof again while they own the home.
Will a metal roof make my home hotter or colder?
Metal roofing actually improves energy efficiency. The reflective paint systems used today bounce a large portion of the sunâs radiant heat, which can lower summer attic temperatures by as much as 25 °F compared with dark asphalt shingles. In winter, the same panels form a tight, continuous barrier that keeps conditioned air inside. Many customers in Maynardville see 10â20 % savings on their heating and cooling bills after upgrading to metal.
Are metal roofs noisy during rain or hail storms?
When installed over a solid decking system with an underlayment and (in most re-roof projects) the original shingle layer left in place, a metal roof is no louder than other roofing materials. The decking and insulation absorb most sound. If additional noise reduction is desired, we can add a synthetic, sound-dampening underlayment. Customers are often surprised at how quiet their homes are after installationâespecially compared with older pole-barn style roofs that were attached directly to open framing.
How does the cost of a metal roof compare with asphalt shingles?
Up-front, a quality metal roof generally costs 2â3 times more than a basic 3-tab shingle roof. In Maynardville, that translates to roughly $8â$12 per square foot installed, depending on panel profile, color, and roof complexity. However, because metal lasts two to three times longer, lowers energy bills, may reduce homeowners-insurance premiums, and adds resale value, the lifetime cost is typically lower than replacing shingles every 15â20 years.
Can a metal roof handle the high winds and severe storms we get in Union County?
Yes. Our panels are mechanically fastened to meet or exceed the 120â140 mph wind-uplift ratings required by current International Residential Code (IRC) guidelines adopted in Tennessee. The interlocking seams prevent water intrusion during wind-driven rain, and the hard steel surface resists impact from hail or falling branches far better than shingles. We also include foam closures and sealant strips at ridges and eaves to block wind-blown debris and insects.
What kind of maintenance and warranty should I expect?
Metal roofing is extremely low-maintenance. An annual visual inspection and occasional garden-hose rinse to remove pollen buildup are usually all that is needed. Our manufacturer provides a 40-year transferable paint warranty and a 25-year corrosion warranty (even in rural agricultural settings). Workmanship is covered by our own 5-year labor guarantee, and extended labor warranties are available. Fastener-tightening or gasket replacement may be required once after 15â20 years on exposed-fastener systems; standing-seam roofs typically need no follow-up service.
