FAQs
How long can I expect a premium steel roof to last in McMinnville’s climate?
Our standing-seam and stone-coated steel panels are engineered for 50–70 years of service life. Premium galvanized or galvalume substrates resist the heavy winter rains, occasional snow, and summer UV levels we see in the Willamette Valley. Unlike asphalt shingles that often require replacement after 15-20 years, a metal roof will likely be the last roof you purchase for your home.
Is a metal roof noisy during Oregon rainstorms?
Modern installation methods include solid sheathing, high-density underlayment, and attic insulation that absorb sound. A properly installed steel roof is only 2–3 dB louder than an asphalt roof—imperceptible to most homeowners. Many customers report their new metal roof is actually quieter because the old shingle layer and felt paper are left in place as an additional sound barrier.
Will a steel roof resist the moss, algae, and high winds common in the Willamette Valley?
Yes. The baked-on Kynar 500® or SMP paint finish is non-porous, meaning moss and algae have nowhere to root. Occasional rainfall rinses the panels clean. Panels are fastened with concealed clips rated for 140-mph gusts, far exceeding the 50–60-mph wind events McMinnville occasionally experiences. Steel roofing also carries a Class A fire rating, adding an extra layer of protection during dry summers.
How does the cost of premium steel roofing compare to asphalt shingles?
Up-front, metal roofing typically costs 2–3 times more than a high-quality architectural shingle. However, when you divide that cost over its 50-plus-year lifespan, steel is the more economical choice. Factor in lower maintenance, potential energy savings, and increased resale value, and lifetime ownership costs can be 30–40 % less than replacing shingles twice over the same period.
Can a metal roof help lower my energy bills?
Absolutely. Our cool-roof colors are ENERGY STAR® rated and reflect up to 70 % of solar radiation. In summer, attic temperatures can drop 20–25 °F compared to dark asphalt shingles, reducing air-conditioning demand. In winter, the integrated high-performance underlayment provides an added thermal break. Homeowners in McMinnville typically see 10–15 % savings on annual HVAC costs.
What maintenance is required and what warranties do you offer?
Steel roofing is virtually maintenance-free—no shingle granules to shed, no moss treatments, and no periodic re-sealing. We recommend an annual garden-hose rinse and a visual inspection after severe storms. Our premium panels carry a 40-year finish warranty, a 30-year fade/chalk warranty, and a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. Workmanship is backed by our own 10-year installation guarantee, fully transferable if you sell your home.
