FAQs
What advantages does Maximum Strength Roofing’s metal roofing offer homeowners in Ooltewah?
Our metal panels are engineered for the severe weather patterns common to the Tennessee Valley—high winds, driving rain and occasional hail. They are 24- to 26-gauge steel with a Kynar 500® finish that resists fading, chalking and corrosion. The result is a roof that can last 50+ years, carries a Class 4 impact rating, a Class A fire rating, and often earns insurance discounts. In addition, the high solar reflectivity of our Cool Roof colors can cut summer cooling bills by 10–25 %.
How long will a metal roof really last compared with architectural shingles in our climate?
In Ooltewah’s mix of hot, humid summers and freeze-thaw winters, architectural asphalt shingles normally last 15–20 years before granule loss and curling appear. A properly installed standing-seam or metal shingle roof from Maximum Strength Roofing is warrantied for 40 years and routinely performs for 60–70 years. The baked-on finish protects the base steel from UV and moisture, so rust and algae streaks that plague asphalt shingles are virtually eliminated.
Will a metal roof be noisy during heavy rain or hail storms?
No. Modern residential metal roofing is fastened over solid roof decking (usually 7⁄16" OSB or plywood) plus a high-density synthetic underlayment and, in most cases, attic insulation. These layers absorb sound so effectively that interior decibel levels are about the same as with asphalt shingles—roughly 40–46 dB during a thunderstorm. If extra sound dampening is desired, we can add an acoustic underlayment for an additional 3–5 dB reduction.
Does metal roofing make a house hotter in summer?
Quite the opposite. Our panels come with infrared-reflective pigments certified by ENERGY STAR® that bounce back up to 70 % of the sun’s radiant heat. Combined with proper ridge-to-soffit ventilation, attic temperatures can drop 10–15 °F compared with a dark asphalt roof. That translates to lower HVAC cycling and measurable energy savings throughout Ooltewah’s long cooling season.
What does a metal roof cost in Ooltewah, and do you offer financing?
Installed prices in Hamilton County average $8–$14 per square foot, depending on panel profile, color, roof complexity and tear-off needs. While the upfront cost is higher than asphalt, the life-cycle cost is typically 30–40 % lower because you avoid two or three future re-roofs. Maximum Strength Roofing partners with Service Finance Company to provide zero-down, low-interest plans up to 144 months, and many clients qualify for insurance premium reductions that offset part of the monthly payment.
Are there local codes or HOA rules I should know about before installing metal roofing?
Hamilton County enforces the 2018 International Residential Code, which fully approves metal roofing when installed per manufacturer specs. We pull all required permits and arrange final inspections. Some Ooltewah HOAs restrict color or panel type; our design consultant reviews your covenants up front and supplies the documentation you need for architectural approval. If any modifications are requested, we handle the resubmittals at no extra charge.
