FAQs
What types of metal panels do you offer for roofing and siding in Pikeville, and how do they differ?
We fabricate and stock three primary panel profiles—standing-seam, exposed-fastener ribbed panels, and corrugated panels. Standing-seam panels hide all fasteners beneath a vertical lock, giving superior weather-tightness and a sleek look. Exposed-fastener ribbed panels (often called "R-panel" or "PBR") are the most economical; screws are visible but use long-life washers and can be installed quickly on residential, commercial, or agricultural buildings. Corrugated panels deliver a classic wavy appearance and extra rigidity for siding applications. All panels are available in 26-, 24-, or 29-gauge Galvalume steel, and we can custom cut lengths up to 40 ft to minimize field splices.
How does a metal roof or metal siding perform in Pikeville’s climate compared with shingles or vinyl?
Pikeville sees heavy spring rains, humid summers, and occasional Appalachian snowfalls—conditions that accelerate wear on asphalt shingles and vinyl siding. Galvalume-coated steel resists rust in high humidity, and a properly fastened metal roof is rated to withstand 140 mph gusts—ideal for mountain wind events. Metal sheds snow quickly, reducing ice-dam risk and roof loads, and it is Class A fire-rated; important for rural properties with wood-burning stoves. Unlike vinyl, metal siding won’t warp in direct sun or crack when temperatures drop below freezing.
What color and finish options are available, and will they fade over time?
We carry more than 25 standard colors plus several textured and metallic finishes. Most colors use a Kynar 500®/PVDF paint system jointly warranted for 40 years against fading and chalking. If budget is critical, we also have SMP/polyester finishes with a 25-year warranty. Because Pikeville’s UV index averages moderate to high in summer, we recommend PVDF for long-term color stability, especially for darker hues. Bare Galvalume and weathering steel (Corten) are also available for an industrial aesthetic.
How long does installation typically take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A typical single-family roof of 2,000 sq ft takes 2–3 days for tear-off (if needed) and metal installation; smaller re-covers can be finished in a single day. Siding on a 2-story home generally requires 3–4 days. Our Pikeville-based crews work during daylight hours only, keep driveways clear when possible, and perform a daily magnet sweep for stray fasteners. Businesses can schedule weekend or off-hours installations to maintain customer access.
Are metal roofs and siding energy-efficient, and will they lower my utility bills?
Yes. Light-colored or "Cool Roof" PVDF coatings reflect up to 70 % of solar energy, reducing attic temperatures by 30–40 °F in Pikeville’s humid summers and easing A/C demand. Standing-seam roofs can also accommodate high-density foam or vented nail-base insulation for additional R-value. In winter, the high emissivity of metal allows absorbed heat to radiate quickly once the sun sets, lowering the risk of ice dams, while continuous underlayment provides an effective air/vapor barrier.
What warranties and maintenance requirements come with your metal panel systems?
Our Galvalume substrate carries a 25-year corrosion warranty, and our PVDF painted finishes are guaranteed for 40 years on color integrity. Standing-seam clip systems include a 20-year weathertightness warranty when installed by our certified crew. Maintenance is minimal: inspect fasteners (if exposed) every 10 years, clear gutters and valleys of debris each fall, and rinse siding with a garden hose if airborne coal dust or pollen accumulates. No sealing, repainting, or shingle replacement cycles are needed, giving an expected service life of 60+ years.
