FAQs
What is standing-seam elegance metal roofing?
Standing-seam elegance metal roofing is a premium roof system made of long, vertical metal panels that interlock with raised seams (or “legs”) that stand above the flat of the panel. The concealed fasteners eliminate exposed screws, giving a clean, contemporary look while reducing the risk of leaks. Our Elegance line uses high-grade, 24- to 26-gauge steel or aluminum coated with advanced Kynar 500® paint finishes for superior color retention and corrosion resistance—ideal for Morristown’s four-season climate.
Why is standing-seam metal roofing a good choice for homes and businesses in Morristown?
Morristown experiences hot, humid summers, cold winters with snow and ice, and occasional high-wind storms. Standing-seam metal roofs handle all of these conditions exceptionally well. The panels shed snow quickly, minimizing ice dams; the interlocking seams resist uplift in winds exceeding 140 mph; and the reflective coatings lower attic temperatures, reducing summer cooling costs. Additionally, metal roofing is non-combustible (Class A fire-rated), an extra layer of protection for properties in an area with historic downtown structures and mature tree cover.
How long can I expect a standing-seam metal roof to last?
Service life is one of the biggest advantages of a standing-seam system. Properly installed, a steel or aluminum standing-seam roof in Morristown can last 50–70 years—more than double the lifespan of typical asphalt shingles. Warranties back this up: we provide a 40-year finish warranty on color fade/chalk and a 30-year manufacturer warranty against defects. Factors such as roof pitch, ventilation, and routine inspections all contribute to maximizing longevity.
Is a standing-seam metal roof energy-efficient?
Yes. Cool-roof coatings on our Elegance panels are engineered to reflect solar radiant heat rather than absorb it, which can lower roof surface temperatures by up to 50 °F. Homeowners commonly report 10–25 % savings on summer air-conditioning costs. In winter, the low thermal mass of metal means the panels lose heat quickly once the sun sets, minimizing unwanted heat loss from the attic. When paired with proper insulation, the roof helps stabilize indoor temperatures year-round.
Can standing-seam metal roofing be installed over my existing shingle roof?
Often, yes. If the current deck is structurally sound and local building codes permit, our crews can install the metal panels over a single layer of asphalt shingles using a slip-sheet underlayment. This “roof-over” approach saves tear-off labor, keeps old shingles out of landfills, and provides an added acoustic and thermal buffer. However, roofs with more than one shingle layer, significant decking damage, or ventilation problems should be stripped to the deck before metal installation. We perform a free on-site assessment to recommend the safest option.
What maintenance does a standing-seam roof require after installation?
Maintenance is minimal compared with other roofing materials. Twice yearly (spring and fall) we recommend a visual inspection to clear gutters, check for debris in valleys, and ensure no branches are rubbing the finish. Because the fasteners are concealed, there are no exposed screws to back out or replace. The factory-applied coatings resist chalking and fading, but occasional gentle washing with a garden hose or soft brush keeps the roof looking new. If severe weather strikes Morristown—hail, heavy snow, or high winds—schedule a quick professional check-up to preserve your warranty and peace of mind.
