FAQs
What advantages does metal roofing offer for homes and businesses in Niota’s climate?
Niota experiences hot, humid summers, occasional severe storms, and mild winters. Metal roofing excels in this environment because it reflects a high percentage of solar radiation, keeping attic temperatures lower and reducing cooling costs. The interlocking panels also create a tight weather-resistant seal that sheds heavy rain and resists wind uplift better than most traditional shingles. In addition, metal is non-combustible, offering an added layer of fire protection, and its slick surface allows snow or debris to slide off quickly, minimizing structural stress.
How long will a metal roof from Years of Service Roofing last, and what warranties do you provide?
Properly installed, a high-quality steel or aluminum roof has a service life of 40–70 years—more than twice the lifespan of conventional asphalt shingles. Years of Service Roofing installs manufacturer-certified panels that carry a 40- to 50-year limited material warranty against cracking, peeling, and rust. We also back our installation workmanship with a 10-year labor warranty, giving you comprehensive protection for both materials and labor.
Will a metal roof make my home louder during rain or hotter during summer?
No. When installed over a solid decking system with underlayment—our standard practice—the sound difference inside the house is negligible compared with other roof types. As for heat, metal’s reflective coatings bounce a significant portion of the sun’s radiant energy away from your roof. In many cases, homeowners see a 10–25 % reduction in summer cooling costs compared with dark asphalt shingles.
What maintenance is required to keep a metal roof in top shape?
Metal roofs are largely maintenance-free. We recommend inspecting the roof twice a year (spring and fall) to clear tree debris, check gutters, and verify that fasteners or flashing remain tight. Unlike asphalt shingles, you won’t need periodic granule replacement or sealing. If a panel is ever damaged by falling debris, it can be replaced individually, often without disturbing the surrounding roof system.
Is metal roofing more expensive up front, and how does it pay off over time?
While initial installation costs are 1.5–2.5 × higher than standard shingles, the long service life, lower maintenance, energy savings, and potential insurance discounts often offset the premium. When you factor in two to three asphalt roof replacements over the same 50-year span, plus energy and repair savings, metal roofing frequently proves more cost-effective in the long run.
Can Years of Service Roofing install metal panels over my existing shingle roof?
In many cases, yes. Local building codes allow a metal-over-shingle retrofit if the existing deck is sound and there is only a single layer of shingles. Installing over the existing roof saves tear-off labor and landfill fees. However, we always perform a thorough on-site inspection to check for deck rot, moisture issues, or structural concerns before recommending this option. If any underlying problems exist, we’ll advise a full tear-off to ensure long-term performance.
