FAQs

What are metal shingles and how do they differ from standing-seam metal roofing?

Metal shingles are individual stamped panels that mimic the look of traditional asphalt, slate, or wood shakes while providing the strength of steel or aluminum. Unlike standing-seam systems, which use long vertical panels with raised seams, metal shingles install in an interlocking, horizontal pattern. This allows them to blend into residential neighborhoods that prefer a more conventional appearance, while still delivering the same fire resistance, wind uplift ratings up to 120 mph, and low-maintenance advantages associated with metal roofing.

How long can I expect a metal shingle roof to last in Maynardville’s climate?

With proper installation and minimal maintenance, metal shingle roofs routinely last 40–70 years in East Tennessee. The factory-applied Kynar or SMP paint finishes resist the UV exposure, humidity, and temperature swings common in Maynardville, preventing fading and corrosion. Manufacturers typically back the finish for 30–40 years, and many offer limited lifetime warranties on the panels themselves. In comparison, quality asphalt shingles average 15–25 years before replacement is necessary.

Are metal shingles noisy during heavy rain or hail?

No. When installed over an approved underlayment and solid decking—standard practice in Maynardville—metal shingle roofs are no louder than asphalt shingles. The attic insulation and the air space created by the interlocking panels further absorb sound. Independent tests show only a 6–7 dB difference between metal and asphalt systems, which is typically imperceptible to occupants.

How does the cost of metal shingle roofing compare to asphalt shingles?

Up-front, metal shingles generally cost 2–3 times more than architectural asphalt shingles. In Maynardville, installed prices typically range from $8.50 to $13.50 per square foot, depending on panel material (galvanized steel vs. aluminum), roof complexity, and trim details. However, the extended service life, lower maintenance, potential energy savings of 10–25 % on cooling bills, and possible homeowner-insurance discounts of 5–35 % can make the lifetime cost of a metal shingle roof equal to—or even less than—multiple asphalt reroofs.

Can metal shingles be installed over my existing roof, or does the old roofing have to be removed?

Metal shingles are lightweight (about 1–1.5 lb/ft²) and can often be installed over a single layer of asphalt shingles, provided the roof deck is sound and local codes permit. A slip sheet or synthetic underlayment is added to create a smooth surface and control moisture. Removing old layers is recommended if there are soft spots in the decking, ventilation issues, or if you already have two layers of roofing, which exceeds Maynardville’s building-code limits.

Do metal shingle roofs qualify for energy or insurance incentives in Tennessee?

Yes. Most metal shingles carry an ENERGY STAR® reflective coating that can reduce attic temperatures by 10–15 °F, qualifying for TVA’s home-energy upgrade programs and potential rebates when combined with other improvements. Because metal shingles have a Class A fire rating and Class 4 impact resistance, many insurers serving Union County offer premium reductions. We recommend contacting your insurance agent and checking current TVA incentives to maximize available savings.
