FAQs
How long can a metal shingle roof last in Oneida’s climate?
High-quality steel or aluminum shingle systems routinely perform for 50 – 70 years in Central New York. The factory-applied PVDF (Kynar) coating resists corrosion from lake-effect moisture, while the interlocking panels withstand winds up to 120 mph and shed the heavy snow loads common to Oneida winters.
Are metal shingles noisier than asphalt during rainfall or hail?
When installed over solid decking with an approved underlayment—standard practice under Oneida building codes—metal shingles are no louder than asphalt shingles. The plywood deck, underlayment, and attic insulation absorb most sound vibration, keeping indoor noise levels virtually unchanged.
Will a metal shingle roof make my home more energy-efficient?
Yes. The reflective coatings on metal shingles bounce a significant portion of the sun’s radiant heat, lowering summer attic temperatures by 20–25 °F. In winter, the same panels act as a radiant barrier, helping keep interior heat inside. Homeowners in Oneida typically see HVAC energy savings of 10 – 20 % after installation.
How does the cost of a metal shingle system compare with architectural asphalt shingles?
Up-front, metal shingle roofs cost about 2 – 3 times more than premium architectural asphalt. However, because they last two to three times longer and often qualify for lower homeowners-insurance premiums and energy savings, the life-cycle cost is usually lower after 15–20 years.
Do metal shingles require special maintenance in snowy Oneida winters?
Maintenance is minimal. The interlocking design and slick coating encourage snow to slide off, reducing ice-dam risk. We recommend: (1) keeping gutters clear so runoff flows freely, and (2) visually inspecting flashings each spring. No routine sealing, granule replacement, or moss treatments are needed, unlike asphalt roofs.
What warranties are available for metal shingle systems installed in Oneida?
Most manufacturers offer 40- to 50-year transferable material warranties covering finish integrity and rust perforation. Reputable local contractors add 5- to 10-year workmanship warranties that meet New York State requirements. Be sure to register both warranties after installation to protect your investment fully.
