FAQs
What are the main benefits of choosing premium-grade steel roofing in Morristown’s climate?
Morristown experiences hot summers, cold winters, and occasional hail or high-wind events. Premium steel roofing is engineered to withstand temperature swings without cracking or warping. A high-quality galvanic or zinc-aluminum coating resists corrosion from snowmelt and acid rain, while interlocking panels are rated to endure wind gusts of 140 mph or more—ideal for severe thunderstorms. The metal surface also reflects a large percentage of solar radiation, helping reduce cooling costs in summer.
How long will a metal roof last compared with traditional asphalt shingles?
Premium-grade steel roofs routinely last 50 – 70 years, more than double the 20 – 25-year life span of high-end asphalt shingles. The metal panels resist UV degradation, algae growth, and freeze–thaw cycles that cause shingles to curl or crack. Most manufacturers back their steel systems with 40- to 50-year finish warranties and lifetime performance warranties, giving homeowners decades of low-maintenance protection.
Will a steel roof make my house hotter or noisier during rain?
No. Modern metal roofing uses reflective finishes that bounce solar heat back into the atmosphere, often lowering attic temperatures by 20–30 °F compared with dark asphalt. Properly installed underlayment, vented decking, and attic insulation prevent heat gain indoors. As for noise, today’s panels are fastened over solid plywood or OSB sheathing with a synthetic underlayment that deadens sound. Interior noise levels during rainfall are comparable to those under conventional shingle roofs.
Is metal roofing more expensive, and what is the return on investment?
Upfront, premium steel roofing costs 2–3 times more than architectural shingles. However, the long life span, minimal maintenance, and energy savings typically offset that difference. Homeowners often recoup 60–70 % of the installation cost at resale because buyers value the longevity and curb appeal. Additionally, many insurance companies in Tennessee offer policy discounts of up to 35 % for Class 4 impact-resistant metal roofs, improving overall ROI.
Can a steel roof be installed over my existing shingles?
In many cases, yes. Morristown’s building code allows a single additional layer of roofing as long as the existing deck is sound and local load limits are met. A special vented metal furring system can be attached over shingles, creating an air gap that enhances energy performance. That said, we always perform a structural inspection to ensure the substrate is rot-free and that weight limits aren’t exceeded before recommending an overlay installation.
What maintenance does a premium steel roof require, and how do I keep the warranty valid?
Maintenance is minimal: keep gutters clear, trim back overhanging branches, and visually inspect flashings twice a year. If debris such as wet leaves accumulates in valleys, rinse with a garden hose. Avoid walking on panels except where absolutely necessary and use soft-soled shoes if you must. Do not apply aftermarket coatings or fasteners unless approved by the manufacturer; doing so can void finish warranties. Our installation package includes an annual checkup for the first five years to document condition and maintain full warranty coverage.
