FAQs
Why is metal roofing a smart choice for homes and businesses in Mountain City’s climate?
Mountain City experiences high UV exposure, sudden temperature swings, heavy rain, and the occasional hail- or snow-storm—all conditions that punish conventional shingles. A properly engineered metal roof easily sheds snow, resists hail impacts, and holds up to 140-mph wind gusts thanks to interlocking panels and concealed fasteners. Its reflective coatings bounce back much of the sun’s heat, lowering attic temperatures in summer, while the high thermal mass allows fast nighttime cool-down. In short, you get superior weather protection, energy savings, and peace of mind for decades.
How long can a Rugged Staying Power Roofing metal roof be expected to last?
Our standing-seam and metal shingle systems are UL-tested for a service life of 50+ years, and many installations nationwide have surpassed 70 years with minimal upkeep. The panels are fabricated from 24- or 26-gauge galvanized or Galvalume steel (or optional aluminum or copper) with Kynar 500®/PVDF paint that resists chalking and fading. We back the panels with a transferable 40-year finish warranty and a lifetime workmanship warranty, so most clients will never need another roof for as long as they own the property.
Will a metal roof make my interior hotter or colder?
No—when installed with the correct underlayment and attic ventilation, metal roofing can actually improve a building’s thermal performance. The factory-applied cool-roof coatings our crews use in Mountain City reflect 25–65 % of solar radiation, reducing attic heat gain by up to 30 °F on peak summer days. In winter, the low thermal mass means the roof loses heat quickly after sunset, minimizing ice-dam formation. Combine the roof with R-38 attic insulation and you’ll meet or exceed local IECC energy-code requirements.
Are metal roofs noisy during rain or hailstorms?
Modern metal roofing is no louder than asphalt shingles. We install a high-density, self-adhering polymer underlayment plus, in most retrofits, the existing plywood deck and attic insulation remain intact. Together these layers absorb sound energy so indoor decibel levels remain comparable to—or lower than—those of a conventional roof. If you need extra noise dampening (e.g., for recording studios or nurseries), we can add an acoustic mat without changing the exterior profile.
What maintenance does a metal roof require in Mountain City?
Maintenance is simple: (1) Keep valleys and gutters clear of pine needles and branches twice a year; (2) after severe storms, visually inspect for dents or displaced snow guards; (3) every 5–7 years, check sealant in penetration flashings (pipe boots, skylights) and renew if necessary. Unlike asphalt shingles, metal panels will not curl, crack, or shed granules, so you avoid frequent patching. Most homeowners spend less than 30 minutes a year on upkeep—and we offer an affordable annual inspection plan if you’d rather leave it to us.
How does the cost of metal roofing compare to asphalt shingles in our area?
Up-front, a premium architectural asphalt roof in Mountain City averages $6–$7 per sq ft installed, while our 24-gauge standing seam ranges from $10–$13 per sq ft depending on color and trim complexity. Although metal can cost 50–90 % more initially, its lifespan is two to three times longer, and it can cut cooling bills 10–20 %. When you factor in that you’d likely have to replace an asphalt roof at least once—and possibly twice—over the same period, metal delivers the lowest life-cycle cost. In addition, most insurers in Tennessee offer 5–15 % premium discounts for Class 4 impact-rated metal roofs, and the material boosts resale value by an average of 6 %. Therefore many owners recoup the cost difference within 8–12 years.
