FAQs
What are metal shingle systems and how do they differ from traditional asphalt shingles?
Metal shingle systems are interlocking panels stamped or formed to mimic the look of wood shakes, slate, or architectural shingles, but they are manufactured from steel, aluminum, or copper. Compared with asphalt shingles, they are lighter, non-combustible, far more resistant to wind uplift, and typically last two to three times longer. Each panel locks to the next and is fastened with concealed clips or screws, creating a continuous, watertight surface that sheds rain and snow efficiently—an important advantage in the mountain climate of Mountain City.
Are metal shingles suitable for Mountain City’s climate and elevation?
Yes. Mountain City’s higher elevation exposes roofs to intense UV rays, temperature swings, high winds, and heavy snow. Metal shingles are engineered to withstand 120-160 mph wind gusts and are rated Class 4 impact-resistant, meaning they can handle hail and falling branches. Their slick, coated surface helps snow slide off, reducing ice-dam formation, and reflective pigment options lower attic temperatures during summer. Additionally, metal’s non-combustible nature adds wildfire protection, which is crucial in forested mountain areas.
How long does a metal shingle roof last and what warranties are available?
In our region, properly installed steel or aluminum shingle systems last 40-70 years; copper can exceed a century. Coating warranties typically run 30-40 years against fading and chalking, while manufacturer material warranties range from 50 years to lifetime (non-prorated for the first 30-40 years). Our Mountain City installation crew adds a 10-year workmanship warranty that covers leaks caused by installation errors, giving homeowners layered protection.
Will a metal shingle roof be noisy during rain or hail?
Noise concerns are common but largely unfounded with today’s installation methods. Metal shingles sit on a solid deck—often with an underlayment, optional acoustic membrane, and attic insulation beneath. These layers dampen sound so interior noise levels are similar to or even quieter than with asphalt shingles. Homeowners in Mountain City frequently report that mountain rain actually sounds softer after their metal roof upgrade.
Can metal shingles be installed over my existing roof to save on tear-off costs?
In many cases, yes. Building codes in Johnson County allow one existing layer of asphalt shingles to remain if the deck is sound and local weight limits are met. Metal shingles weigh only 0.9–1.4 lb per square foot—about one-third the weight of asphalt—so structural load isn’t usually an issue. Our team conducts a deck inspection, verifies ventilation, and ensures flashings can be properly integrated before recommending an overlay or a full tear-off.
What is the average cost of a metal shingle system in Mountain City and does it increase home value?
Installed cost in Mountain City currently ranges from $9 to $14 per square foot, depending on metal type, profile, and roof complexity (steep pitches and multiple valleys add labor). While the upfront expense is higher than asphalt, homeowners recoup value through lower maintenance, potential energy savings of 10-25%, and a resale value boost. National remodeling studies show metal roofing returns 60-70% of its cost at resale, and appraisers in mountain markets often note the roof’s remaining service life as a premium feature.
