FAQs
What advantages does a precision-crafted metal roof offer homeowners and businesses in Old Fort?
Metal roofing provides exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. Our precision craftsmanship ensures tight seams and custom-fabricated flashings that resist leaks, while the reflective coatings on today’s panels lower cooling bills by deflecting up to 70 % of the sun’s radiant heat. Metal is also recyclable and available in a wide range of colors and profiles that complement local architectural styles—from historic Main-Street storefronts to modern mountain cabins.
How long can I expect a metal roof to last compared with asphalt shingles?
With proper installation, a premium metal roof in Old Fort can perform for 40–70 years—about two to three times longer than the 15- to 25-year life span of conventional shingles. Our shop-fabricated panels are engineered to resist corrosion, fading, and uplift, and they come with manufacturer warranties of up to 40 years on paint and lifetime coverage on the metal substrate.
Is a metal roof loud during rain or hail storms?
Not when it is installed correctly. We attach our panels over high-density foam closures and under-layment, and many homes also have attic insulation. These layers absorb sound, making interior noise levels comparable to—or even quieter than—those under an asphalt roof. In fact, customers often report being pleasantly surprised by how little storm noise they hear after the upgrade.
Can a metal roof handle the high winds, heavy rains, and occasional hail we experience in Old Fort?
Yes. Our standing-seam and screw-down systems are tested to withstand wind speeds exceeding 140 mph, and the interlocking panels shed rain quickly, reducing the chance of water intrusion. For hail, 24- and 26-gauge steel meets UL 2218 Class 4 impact ratings—the highest available. Proper fastening patterns and edge details, all field-verified by our installation team, give you peace of mind during Western North Carolina’s severe weather events.
What type of maintenance will my new metal roof require?
Metal roofs are largely maintenance-free. We recommend an annual visual inspection to remove debris from valleys and gutters, check for any loose fasteners, and rinse pollen or mildew buildup with a garden hose. Because metal does not absorb water or support fungal growth, you’ll avoid the moss, granule loss, and frequent shingle replacements common with asphalt roofs.
Is metal roofing more expensive upfront, and do you offer financing or assistance with insurance claims?
While the initial investment is typically 10–20 % higher than quality architectural shingles, the life-cycle cost is lower because you won’t need multiple tear-offs. Energy savings and potential insurance discounts for Class 4 impact resistance can further offset the price. We provide flexible financing plans, help you file storm-damage claims, and give detailed cost comparisons so you can make an informed decision for your Old Fort property.
