FAQs
What does it mean that your crews are “factory-certified” to install metal roofing?
Factory certification means every installer on our team has been trained, tested, and approved by the manufacturer of the metal roofing products we install. We follow the exact fastening patterns, seam-locking techniques, underlayment specifications, and flashing details the manufacturer requires. The certification is renewed regularly, so our crews stay current on new products and code changes. For you, this translates into a roof that performs to its published specs, qualifies for upgraded manufacturer warranties, and is installed safely and efficiently.
Why is metal roofing a smart choice for homes and businesses in New Market?
New Market sees hot, humid summers, cold winters, and the occasional severe storm. A properly installed metal roof stands up to all of it. It reflects solar heat, reducing summer cooling bills by up to 25 %; sheds snow quickly to prevent ice dams; and is rated for wind speeds of 140 mph or more. Metal roofing is also Class A fire-resistant and can last 50 – 70 years—three to four times longer than conventional asphalt shingles. Add in the range of styles and colors that mimic slate, tile, or standing-seam panels and you get curb appeal with long-term value.
How long will a metal roof installed by your certified crews last, and what kind of upkeep is required?
Because our installers follow the manufacturer’s best-practice details, the expected service life of your new roof is 50 years or more. The finish is protected by a Kynar 500® or similar PVDF coating that resists fading and chalking. Routine upkeep is limited to keeping gutters clear, inspecting roof penetrations (vents, chimneys, skylights) once a year, and removing any branches or debris after a storm. Unlike asphalt, there is no granular loss, no periodic re-roofing, and no need for chemical treatments.
What warranties come with a factory-certified metal roof?
You receive two layers of protection. First, the manufacturer’s product warranty—usually 40–50 years on weather-tightness and 30 years on finish fade and chalk—remains fully valid because installation was completed by certified crews. Second, we back our workmanship with a 10-year labor warranty that covers leaks due to installation errors. Should a problem arise, you deal with one local point of contact, and we coordinate directly with the manufacturer if material replacement is needed.
What does the installation process look like and how long will it take?
1. On-site inspection and measurement: We verify deck condition, ventilation needs, and flashing details. 2. Material ordering and scheduling: Most metal panels are custom-cut; lead times are typically 2–3 weeks. 3. Tear-off and deck prep: Old roofing is removed, damaged sheathing replaced, and underlayment plus ice & water shield are installed. 4. Metal panel installation: Panels are set, fastened, and seamed per factory specs; flashings and trim are finished. 5. Final walkthrough and cleanup: We magnet-sweep for nails and review the roof with you. A typical 2,500 sq ft roof is completed in 3–4 days, weather permitting. Commercial buildings or complex residential roofs may take up to a week.
Is metal roofing environmentally friendly and cost-effective over time?
Yes. Our panels contain 25–35 % recycled steel or aluminum and are 100 % recyclable at the end of their life, keeping tons of waste out of landfills. The reflective coatings can lower energy bills, making metal one of the few roofing materials that pays you back monthly. While the upfront investment is higher—often 2–3 times that of asphalt shingles—the life-cycle cost is lower because you avoid one or even two re-roof cycles. Insurance discounts for Class 4 impact-resistant roofs and energy-efficiency tax credits can further offset the initial expense.
