FAQs
What are the main advantages of choosing premium steel roofing for my property in McDonald?
Premium steel roofing offers exceptional durability, a life expectancy of 50+ years, and a Class A fire rating—ideal for protecting homes and businesses in McDonald. Steel panels resist cracking, warping, and insect damage common with asphalt or wood, and their interlocking design provides superior wind uplift resistance during the strong storms our area occasionally experiences. In addition, modern steel roofing is coated with corrosion-resistant finishes that prevent rust and keep the roof looking new for decades.
How does metal roofing perform in McDonald’s varied weather conditions such as heavy rain, hail, and snow?
Our steel roofing systems are engineered to meet or exceed local building codes for wind, snow, and impact resistance. The standing-seam panels shed rain quickly, reducing the likelihood of leaks. For hail, the steel’s UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating means it can withstand 2" hailstones with minimal risk of denting. In winter, the smooth metal surface combined with optional snow guards allows snow to slide off gradually, preventing ice dam formation along the eaves. Because steel does not absorb moisture, freeze–thaw cycles have virtually no effect on its integrity.
Will a metal roof make my home hotter or noisier?
No. Our premium steel panels are installed over a solid decking with high-performance underlayment and optional rigid insulation. This assembly blocks radiant heat, helping keep attics up to 40 °F cooler in summer compared with dark asphalt shingles. Regarding sound, tests show that when a metal roof is installed over sheathing, interior noise levels during rain are nearly identical to those under conventional shingles. Many homeowners actually notice a quieter environment after installation due to the added insulation layers.
What styles, profiles, and colors are available for your steel roofing systems?
We stock multiple profiles—traditional standing seam, modern snap-lock, and stone-coated metal shingles—to suit McDonald’s diverse architectural styles. Color choices exceed 30 energy-efficient, cool-roof shades with high solar reflectivity, including popular charcoal, matte black, forest green, and copper-penny finishes. All coatings use fade-resistant PVDF (Kynar 500®) paint backed by a 30-year color-fastness warranty, ensuring your selected hue stays vibrant even under the strong Pennsylvania sun.
How long does installation take, and what should I expect during the process?
For an average 2,000 sq ft residential roof in McDonald, installation typically takes 3–5 working days, weather permitting. Our certified crew starts by removing old materials, inspecting the deck, and installing waterproof underlayment. Panels are then custom-formed on-site to minimize seams and waste. We maintain a clean work zone, magnetically sweep for nails daily, and keep driveways accessible. Most homeowners find they can remain in the house throughout the project with minimal disruption.
What warranties and maintenance requirements come with your premium steel roofs?
Every roof includes a transferable 40-year manufacturer’s warranty on the steel substrate and a 30-year limited warranty on the PVDF finish against fading, chalking, and peeling. We also provide a 10-year workmanship guarantee covering installation-related issues. Maintenance is simple: keep gutters clear, trim overhanging branches, and schedule a professional inspection every 3–5 years. Unlike asphalt, steel roofs do not require periodic re-sealing, and no special cleaners are needed—an occasional low-pressure rinse is enough to remove dirt and pollen.
