FAQs
What advantages does a Premium Metal Systems roof offer over traditional shingle roofs in Reliance?
Premium Metal Systems roofs are engineered from high-grade steel or aluminum panels that last 50+ years—more than double the average asphalt shingle life. They are Class 4 impact-rated for hail, Class A fire-rated, and tested to withstand wind speeds up to 140 mph, a key benefit during the severe thunderstorms common in Reliance. Metal reflects solar radiation, lowering attic temperatures and cutting summer cooling bills by up to 25 %. Because the panels interlock, they resist uplift and water intrusion better than overlapping shingles, reducing the risk of leaks.
How much does a metal roof cost and what is the return on investment?
In the Reliance market, Premium Metal Systems roofs typically range from $9 to $14 per square foot installed, depending on panel profile, metal gauge, and roof complexity. While that can be 2–3 times the upfront cost of high-end asphalt shingles, homeowners recoup value through energy savings, lower maintenance, and fewer replacements. Insurance companies often provide discounts of 20 % or more for Class 4 impact resistance, and national studies show metal roofs add about 6 % to resale value. Over a 50-year span, the life-cycle cost of metal is usually 30–40 % lower than asphalt.
Will a metal roof make my home noisier during rain or hail?
No. Modern metal roofing systems are installed over a solid deck with underlayment and, in many homes, attic insulation below. These layers absorb sound, so interior noise levels are comparable to or quieter than those under an asphalt roof. If additional sound dampening is desired, Premium Metal Systems offers an optional, self-adhering acoustic underlayment that cuts exterior noise by another 5–7 decibels.
Can metal roofing rust or fade in Reliance’s climate?
Premium Metal Systems panels are manufactured with G-90/G-100 galvanized or AZ50 Galvalume substrates, then finished with a Kynar 500®/PVDF paint system that carries a 30-year fade and chalk warranty. The coating resists the humidity, UV exposure, and temperature swings typical of Reliance. For coastal or industrial environments, we offer aluminum panels that cannot rust. Basic maintenance—rinsing off debris once or twice a year—will keep the finish looking new for decades.
How heavy is a metal roof and can my current structure support it?
A typical Premium Metal Systems roof weighs 1.0–1.5 pounds per square foot, roughly 60 % lighter than asphalt shingles and 90 % lighter than concrete or slate tiles. Because the load is actually lower than most existing roofing materials, metal can almost always be installed over an existing deck without structural modifications. Our team still performs a full attic and framing inspection to verify code compliance before installation.
What kind of maintenance and warranty can I expect?
Maintenance is minimal: keep gutters clear, trim overhanging branches, and visually inspect fasteners and flashing once a year. The baked-on PVDF finish is self-cleaning during rain. Premium Metal Systems provides a 40-year transferable warranty on paint, a 30-year warranty against chalk and fade, and a lifetime limited warranty on workmanship when installed by our Reliance-certified crew. This means any defects in material or labor will be corrected at no cost for as long as you own your home—and the warranty can transfer to the next homeowner, adding resale value.
