FAQs
How long do metal panel roofs typically last in the Rutledge climate?
High-quality steel or aluminum panels installed by a professional contractor will normally last 40–70 years in Rutledge’s hot summers, occasional hail, and mild winters. With basic maintenance (clearing debris, tightening fasteners every 10–15 years, and repainting if needed), many homeowners never have to replace their roof again.
Is a metal roof noisy when it rains or hails?
When the panels are installed over solid decking with an insulating underlayment—as local codes require—the sound level inside the home is only a few decibels higher than with asphalt shingles. Most customers report no noticeable difference, even during heavy Georgia thunderstorms.
Can damaged metal panels be repaired, or must the whole roof be replaced?
In most cases we can replace individual panels or repair small punctures, loose fasteners, and flashing issues without touching the rest of the roof. Full replacement is only recommended when more than 25–30 % of the panels are damaged or the original installation was faulty.
Will a metal roof make my home hotter in the summer?
No. Modern metal roofs use reflective pigments and Cool Roof finishes that bounce back much of the sun’s radiant heat. Homeowners in Rutledge often see attic temperatures drop 10–15 °F and report up to 25 % savings on summer cooling bills compared with dark asphalt shingles.
How much does metal roof repair or replacement cost in Rutledge?
Small repairs (re-sealing seams, replacing a couple of panels) usually run $450–$1,200. Partial replacement averages $6–$9 per square foot, while a full tear-off and new standing-seam roof is typically $10–$14 per square foot installed. Exact pricing depends on panel profile, finish, roof pitch, and any structural or decking work required.
What kind of warranty do you provide on metal panel roof repairs and installations?
We offer a 5-year workmanship warranty on repairs and a 10-year workmanship warranty on full replacements. Most manufacturers add a 30- to 40-year paint finish warranty and a 45-year perforation warranty against rust. All warranties are fully transferable if you sell your home.
