FAQs
Why is metal roofing a smart choice for homes and businesses in New Market, East Tennessee?
New Market’s climate brings hot summers, occasional snow, and frequent severe thunderstorms. A properly installed metal roof combats all three. Interlocking panels are rated for winds up to 140 mph—ideal when spring squall lines roll off the plateau. The baked-on finish resists UV fading, so intense summer sun won’t chalk the color. Metal also sheds snow quickly, preventing ice dams. Finally, the material is non-combustible and carries a Class A fire rating, adding peace of mind during lightning-heavy storms.
How does a metal roof perform during hail and high-wind events common to East Tennessee storms?
Steel and aluminum panels have UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance, the highest rating available, meaning they can withstand 2-inch hail without cracking like asphalt shingles. Panels are fastened with concealed screws and continuous clips, so uplift pressure is evenly distributed, preventing blow-offs in 60–90 mph straight-line winds that occasionally hit Jefferson County. In many cases, insurance carriers offer premium discounts for homes upgraded to metal roofs because of this superior storm performance.
What styles and finishes of metal roofing do you install, and which one is best for my property?
We install standing-seam, exposed-fastener, and metal shingle systems. Standing-seam (our most popular) features vertical seams that snap together for a sleek, contemporary look and top-tier weatherproofing—perfect for low-slope or high-visibility roofs. Exposed-fastener panels such as 5-V or R-panel are budget-friendly for barns, workshops, and cabins. Stone-coated metal shingles mimic the look of wood shake or slate while giving you metal’s durability for historic homes along Hwy 11E. Choice depends on budget, desired aesthetics, and roof pitch; our free on-site consultation includes a detailed comparison and color samples.
Will a metal roof improve my home’s energy efficiency and resale value?
Yes. Metal roofs are “cool roof” rated, reflecting up to 70 % of solar heat and emitting absorbed warmth quickly, lowering attic temperatures by 20–30 °F in summer. Homeowners typically see a 10–25 % drop in cooling costs. Because metal lasts 50+ years with minimal upkeep, buyers view it as a premium upgrade; national data shows homeowners recoup 85–95 % of the installation cost at resale—often higher in storm-prone regions like East Tennessee where durability commands a premium.
How long will installation take and what can I expect during the process?
A typical 2,000 sq ft single-story home takes 2–3 days from tear-off to final inspection, weather permitting. We start by protecting landscaping and setting up safety lines. Old shingles are removed down to the decking, which we inspect for rot. High-temperature underlayment and ice-and-water shield are applied at eaves and valleys before panels are mechanically seamed in place. Daily clean-ups keep your driveway and yard usable, and a magnet sweep removes stray fasteners. You don’t need to vacate the house; we coordinate noisy work during daylight hours to minimize disruption.
What maintenance and warranty coverage come with your metal roofing systems?
Metal roofs require minimal upkeep—an annual hose rinse and gutter cleaning are usually sufficient. Our manufacturer’s warranty covers the paint finish against cracking, peeling, and fading for 40 years and the metal substrate for 50 years. East Tennessee Storms Roofing adds a 10-year workmanship warranty that covers leaks due to installation errors. Should a severe event occur, our storm-response team will inspect the roof free of charge and handle any warranty claims or repairs, ensuring your investment stays protected.
