FAQs
Why is metal roofing a smart choice for homes and businesses in McMinnville’s climate?
McMinnville sees more than 40 inches of rain each year, occasional windstorms, and summer temperatures that can top 90 °F. Metal panels shed rain and snow quickly, resist moss and algae growth that plagues asphalt shingles, and are rated for wind speeds well above what we typically experience in Yamhill County. The baked-on finishes also reflect much of the summer heat, helping keep attics cooler. Combined, these qualities make metal roofing exceptionally durable and energy-conscious for the Willamette Valley’s varied weather.
How long will a metal roof last compared with an asphalt shingle roof?
A properly installed standing-seam or metal shingle roof can last 40–70 years—or even longer with periodic inspections—while standard architectural asphalt shingles average 15–25 years in McMinnville’s damp environment. The metal panels are non-porous and don’t decay, warp, or invite moss, so their service life is primarily limited by finish longevity rather than structural failure. Most manufacturers back their products with 30- to 50-year paint and substrate warranties, giving you double or triple the lifespan of asphalt.
Will a metal roof make my house noisier when it rains or hails?
Not if it’s installed correctly. Modern metal roofing is attached over an underlayment and either a solid sheathing deck or existing shingles. That barrier system deadens sound so effectively that interior noise levels are virtually the same as with other roof types. If additional sound dampening is desired—common in vaulted-ceiling homes—we can add high-density foam backer boards or acoustic underlayment to further muffle rain impact.
Is metal roofing energy-efficient enough to lower my utility bills?
Yes. Most metal panels have high-reflectance, cool-roof coatings that bounce away up to 70 % of solar heat, reducing attic temperatures by as much as 30 °F in summer. This means your air conditioner runs less, lowering electricity costs. In winter, the continuous panels and tight interlocks minimize heat loss from drafts. Many McMinnville homeowners report 10–25 % annual energy savings after switching from dark asphalt shingles to Energy-Star-rated metal roofs.
Can a new metal roof be installed over my existing shingles?
Often, yes. Local building codes allow one layer of asphalt shingles to remain if the deck is solid and there’s no moisture damage. Installing over the old roof saves tear-off labor, shortens the project timeline, and keeps tons of material out of the landfill. We place a slip-sheet or synthetic underlayment between the shingles and metal panels to prevent abrasion and promote ventilation. During your free inspection we’ll verify the deck’s condition to ensure an overlay is appropriate.
What kind of maintenance and warranty should I expect with a metal roof?
Maintenance is minimal: keep gutters clear, remove large debris after storms, and schedule an inspection every few years to check fasteners and sealant. No periodic moss treatments or shingle replacements are needed. Manufacturer warranties typically cover the metal substrate for 40–50 years and the paint finish against fading or chalking for 30–35 years. Our McMinnville installation crews also provide a 10-year workmanship warranty, so you’re protected against both product and labor defects for the long term.
