FAQs
Why is metal roofing considered the best choice for enhancing curb appeal in Petros?
Metal roofing offers clean, contemporary lines and a wide palette of colors, finishes, and profiles—from standing-seam panels to metal shingles that mimic slate or cedar shake. Because the pigment is baked on at the factory, colors stay vibrant for decades without fading, chalking, or streaking, keeping your Petros home’s exterior looking freshly updated year after year.
How long can I expect a metal roof to last in the Petros climate?
With proper installation, today’s residential metal roofing systems routinely last 50–70 years. The Galvalume® or galvanized steel we install is engineered to resist the high UV exposure, humid summers, and occasional winter freezes common in Petros, TN. Warranties typically cover the finish for 30–40 years and the metal panel for life, far outlasting asphalt shingles that need replacement every 12–20 years.
Will a metal roof make my home more energy-efficient?
Yes. Most metal panels are ENERGY STAR®-listed and feature infrared-reflective coatings that bounce a significant portion of the sun’s heat away from your roof. Studies by Oak Ridge National Laboratory show that cool-pigmented metal roofs can lower summertime attic temperatures by up to 40° F and cut cooling costs by 10–25 percent in warm, sunny climates like ours.
Is metal roofing noisy in rain, hail, or wind?
When installed over solid sheathing and high-density underlayment—as required by current building codes—metal roofing is no louder than asphalt shingles. The attic insulation and drywall ceiling further dampen sound. In fact, many homeowners in Petros report that their new metal roof is quieter than their previous shingle roof once we upgrade the decking and underlayment.
Can you install a metal roof over my existing shingles, and how long does the project take?
In many cases, yes. Local codes allow a metal roof to be installed over one layer of sound asphalt shingles, saving tear-off costs and keeping debris out of landfills. We’ll inspect the decking to confirm it’s dry and level before adding a slip sheet and new metal panels. A typical 2,000-sq-ft Petros home takes 3–4 days from start to finish, with very little disruption to landscaping or daily routines.
Is metal roofing more expensive than shingle roofing, and what is the return on investment?
Upfront, a premium metal roof can cost 2–3 times more than architectural shingles. However, you avoid at least one full tear-off and re-roof cycle, saving substantial money over the life of your home. Metal roofing also increases resale value—national studies show an average 6 percent boost—and can lower homeowner’s insurance premiums by up to 25 percent due to its Class A fire rating and Class 4 impact resistance. When you add the energy savings, most Petros homeowners see a full payback within 15–20 years.
