FAQs
What are the main advantages of choosing metal roofing for my Norris, TN home?
Metal roofing offers unmatched durability, a life expectancy of 40–70 years, excellent energy efficiency, and high resistance to fire, wind, and hail. In East Tennessee’s mixed climate, metal reflects a significant portion of solar heat in summer, sheds snow quickly in winter, and stands up to the heavy rains common in our area. It also boosts curb appeal and may raise your home’s resale value.
How does metal roofing perform in East Tennessee weather, including heavy rain, snow, and high winds?
Our standing-seam and ribbed metal panels are engineered for 140-mph wind uplift, well above local code requirements. The interlocking seams and concealed fasteners prevent water intrusion during driving rain, while the slick metal surface allows snow to slide off before excess weight can accumulate. Metal’s Class 4 hail impact rating and Class A fire rating further protect your home against severe storms and stray embers from wildfires or outdoor burning.
Will a metal roof make my home hotter in the summer?
No. In fact, a metal roof can lower attic temperatures by up to 20°F. Modern metal panels come with high-reflectivity coatings that bounce solar radiation away rather than absorbing it. Combined with proper attic ventilation, this can cut cooling costs by 10–25%—a big plus during humid East Tennessee summers.
How long does metal roofing last and what kind of maintenance is required?
Installed correctly, a steel or aluminum roof typically lasts 50 years or more—roughly two to three times the life of asphalt shingles. Maintenance is minimal: periodic debris removal from valleys and gutters, and an inspection of fasteners and sealant every few years. Unlike shingles, metal won’t crack, curl, or lose granules, and most finishes carry a 30- to 40-year paint warranty.
Can a metal roof be installed over my existing shingles?
Often, yes. If your current deck is solid and local building codes allow it, we can install metal panels over one layer of shingles using a slip-sheet underlayment. This saves tear-off costs and keeps old shingles out of the landfill. We’ll perform a thorough roof and structural inspection in Norris first to be sure your home is a good candidate.
How does the cost of metal roofing compare to asphalt shingles, and do you offer financing?
Upfront, metal roofing costs about 2–3 times more than a standard shingle roof. However, its long lifespan, energy savings, reduced maintenance, and potential insurance discounts usually make it the more economical choice over time. We provide detailed estimates showing long-term cost of ownership and partner with local lenders to offer zero-down and low-interest financing options, so you can enjoy a premium roof without straining your budget.
