FAQs
What are the advantages of choosing metal panels for roofing and siding in Sale Creek’s climate?
Sale Creek experiences hot, humid summers, occasional severe storms, and the temperature swings typical of the Tennessee Valley. Our galvanized and galvalume-coated steel panels are engineered to resist corrosion, high winds (up to 140 mph ratings), and hail impact. Their reflective finishes reduce solar heat gain, helping indoor spaces stay cooler, while tight seam designs prevent water intrusion during heavy downpours. The result is a roof and exterior skin that outperforms asphalt shingles or wood siding in durability, energy efficiency, and weather resistance.
How long do metal panel roofs and siding systems typically last?
Properly installed, high-quality steel panels last 40–70 years. They resist rot, insects, and UV breakdown far better than shingles or vinyl siding, and factory-applied paint systems carry 25–40-year fade and chalk warranties. Many homes in our region have surpassed the 50-year mark with only minimal upkeep—all while retaining their original appearance and weather protection.
Are metal panels energy-efficient and can they lower my utility bills?
Yes. Our panels use UL-certified "cool roof" pigments that reflect a significant percentage of solar radiation, keeping attic temperatures up to 30 °F cooler. In winter they also shed snow quickly, preventing ice dams. Customers typically report 10–20 % reductions in cooling costs after upgrading from dark asphalt roofs. When combined with proper insulation and an optional radiant barrier, savings can be even higher.
Will a metal roof attract lightning or make my home noisier during rain?
No. Metal roofs do not increase the likelihood of a lightning strike; they actually dissipate electrical energy safely into the ground if one occurs. Regarding noise, our panels are installed over solid decking, underlayment, and often attic insulation, which dampens sound. Independent tests show interior noise levels similar to or quieter than those under architectural shingles. Optional acoustic underlayment can further reduce sound for sensitive areas like bedrooms or offices.
How does the installation process work and how long will it take?
After a free on-site assessment, we provide a detailed quote and color/finish options. Once materials arrive (usually 1–2 weeks), a typical residential roof of 2,000–3,000 sq ft takes 2–4 days to complete; siding projects add 2–3 additional days. Our certified crews remove existing materials, inspect and repair decking or sheathing, install high-temperature underlayment, and then fasten the interlocking panels with concealed screws for a sleek, watertight finish. We handle permits, site cleanup, and final inspection with you before sign-off.
What type of maintenance and warranty can I expect with your metal panel systems?
Maintenance is minimal: an annual visual inspection, basic gutter cleaning, and occasional low-pressure washing to remove pollen or dust is usually all that’s required. Our panels come with a 40-year manufacturer warranty against paint fade, chalking, and film integrity, plus a limited lifetime warranty on the substrate against rust perforation. We back our workmanship with a 10-year labor guarantee, giving you comprehensive protection for both materials and installation.
