FAQs
What does “factory-trained crews” mean and why is it important for my metal roof installation?
Our installers travel to the metal-panel manufacturer’s training center and complete hands-on coursework that covers proper panel seaming, fastener spacing, underlayment selection, flashing details, and current code requirements. Passing this program certifies that every person who touches your roof follows the exact techniques the manufacturer prescribes. The result is a roof that performs to its published specs, keeps its warranty intact, and looks professionally finished without oil-canning, gaps, or exposed fasteners in the wrong places.
How long does a typical metal roof installation take in the Oliver Springs area?
Most single-family homes (2,000–3,000 sq. ft.) can be completed in three to five working days, including tear-off of the old roofing, deck inspection, underlayment installation, panel fabrication, and site cleanup. Larger or more complex roofs with valleys, dormers, or multiple penetrations may take up to a week. Weather can affect the schedule, but because metal panels install in large sections, they often go on faster than shingles once the layout is complete.
Are metal roofs suitable for the weather conditions in Oliver Springs, TN?
Yes. Our 24- and 26-gauge steel panels are engineered to withstand 140 mph winds, meet UL 2218 Class 4 impact ratings for hail, and carry a Class A fire rating—ideal for the high winds, occasional hailstorms, and humid summers we see in East Tennessee. The factory-applied Kynar 500® finish is UV-stable, so it resists chalking and fading even under intense sun, and the standing-seam profile sheds heavy rain quickly, reducing the chance of leaks or ponding.
What warranties do you offer on your factory-trained metal roofing installations?
You receive a dual layer of protection: (1) a 40- to 50-year manufacturer’s material warranty that covers paint finish integrity, corrosion, and weather-tightness, and (2) our 10-year workmanship warranty that guarantees every seam, fastener, and flashing is installed correctly. Because our crews are factory-trained, the manufacturer recognizes us as an authorized installer—so your material warranty is fully valid and transferable if you sell the home within its term.
How does the cost of a metal roof compare to traditional shingles, and what long-term savings can I expect?
Upfront, a standing-seam metal roof in Oliver Springs typically runs 2–2.5 times the cost of architectural asphalt shingles. However, metal lasts 50+ years versus 15–20 for shingles, often eliminating at least one full replacement cycle. Homeowners also report energy-bill reductions of 10–25 % thanks to the roof’s reflective finish and vented assemblies. Many insurers offer 5–15 % premium discounts for Class 4 impact-rated roofs, and resale studies show metal roofs recoup a higher percentage of their cost when you sell the home.
What kind of maintenance will my new metal roof require, and can your crew handle future service?
Maintenance is minimal: an annual visual inspection to clear leaves from valleys and gutters, check sealant at penetrations, and verify that snow guards and fasteners remain tight. Avoid walking on panels in soft-soled shoes unless necessary. If you ever notice denting, sealant aging, or storm damage, our same factory-trained technicians can perform spot panel replacement, reseaming, or repainting using OEM color-matched coatings. Service calls are prioritized for our existing customers and are covered at no charge during the workmanship warranty period.
