FAQs

What advantages does metal roofing offer Ooltewah homeowners compared with traditional asphalt shingles?

Metal roofing provides superior durability (50–70-year life expectancy), excellent resistance to the high winds and occasional hail we experience in Ooltewah, and energy efficiency thanks to reflective coatings that can reduce summer cooling costs by 10–25 %. Metal panels are also lightweight, fire-resistant, and made with a high percentage of recycled steel or aluminum, so they are an environmentally friendly option.

How long can I expect a metal roof to last in the Ooltewah climate?

With proper installation and minimal maintenance, a standing-seam or high-quality metal shingle roof will typically last 2–3 times longer than asphalt—often 50 years or more. Our area’s moderate winters mean freeze-thaw cycles that damage other materials are limited, and modern PVDF paint finishes protect the panels from the UV exposure and humidity common to Southeast Tennessee.

Will a metal roof make my home hotter during the summer?

No. Most modern metal roofs are finished with ENERGY STAR–rated, “cool roof” paint systems that reflect a large portion of the sun’s radiant heat. Combined with proper attic ventilation and insulation, a metal roof can actually lower attic temperatures by up to 30 °F and reduce air-conditioning demand.

Is metal roofing loud during rain or hail storms?

When installed over solid decking with an underlayment—as required by Tennessee building code—a metal roof is no louder than an asphalt shingle roof. The sheathing, attic insulation, and air space beneath the panels dampen sound. Many homeowners report that rain on a modern metal roof is virtually indistinguishable from other roofing types.

What does a metal roof cost in Ooltewah and do you offer financing?

Costs vary by panel style and roof complexity, but most Ooltewah homes fall in the $8–$12 per square foot installed range (about $24,000–$36,000 for a 3,000-square-foot roof). While this is higher upfront than asphalt, the longer life span and lower maintenance often make the total cost of ownership lower. We partner with local lenders to provide 0 % introductory APR plans and long-term, low-interest financing so you can spread payments out up to 144 months.

Can a metal roof handle the severe weather we sometimes see in Southeast Tennessee?

Yes. Interlocking standing-seam and metal shingle systems are rated to withstand winds of 120–140 mph, exceeding typical storm gusts in Ooltewah. Metal’s Class IV impact rating offers the highest level of hail resistance, and the panels will not warp, crack, or peel under heavy rain or sun exposure. Most manufacturers back these claims with 30- to 50-year material and finish warranties, and our workmanship warranty covers installation for 10 years.
