FAQs
How well does a metal roof hold up against Sequatchie County’s weather extremes?
Metal roofing is one of the most durable options for Tennessee’s climate. High–gauge steel panels are rated to withstand wind speeds of 120–140 mph, which covers most thunderstorm and straight-line wind events we see in Sequatchie. The panels are also impact-rated for hail up to 2 inches in diameter and have Class A fire resistance—an advantage during dry, hot spells. A properly installed metal roof can last 40–70 years with minimal weather-related repairs compared to 15–25 years for standard asphalt shingles.
Will a metal roof make my home hotter in our humid Tennessee summers?
No. Modern metal roofing is typically finished with high-reflectivity paint systems (often ENERGY STAR® listed) that reflect a large portion of the sun’s radiant heat. In Oak Grove, Dunlap, and other Sequatchie communities, homeowners report attic temperatures 10–15 °F cooler after installation. When paired with proper attic ventilation and insulation, a metal roof can reduce summer cooling costs by up to 25 %.
Is metal roofing noisy during rain or hail storms?
When metal was installed directly over rafters decades ago, it could be loud. Today, we install the panels over solid decking, underlayment, and sometimes a sound-dampening membrane. These layers absorb vibration, so the noise level inside your home is about the same as—sometimes quieter than—a shingle roof. Most customers notice only a gentle patter during heavy rain.
How much does a metal roof cost in Sequatchie compared with asphalt shingles?
Pricing varies by panel profile and color, but on average a standing-seam metal roof in our area runs $7–$12 per square foot installed, while high-quality architectural shingles run $4–$6. Although the upfront investment is higher, metal’s long service life, lower maintenance, and potential energy savings create a lower cost of ownership over 30–40 years. Many homeowners recoup 60–65 % of the cost in increased property value according to regional real-estate studies.
Can metal roofing be installed over my existing shingles to save on tear-off costs?
Often, yes. Tennessee building code permits installing metal roofing over one layer of shingles as long as the deck is sound and local load limits are met. We add a synthetic underlayment or batten system to create an even substrate and ventilation gap. Skipping tear-off can save $1,000–$2,500 on an average Sequatchie roof, reduce landfill waste, and shorten the project timeline by a day or two.
What warranties and maintenance should I expect with Tennessee Weather Roofing’s metal systems?
Our primary manufacturer offers a 40-year paint finish warranty against fading, chalking, and peeling, plus a 30- to 50-year material warranty depending on gauge. Tennessee Weather Roofing backs the installation with a 10-year workmanship warranty. Routine upkeep is simple: keep gutters clear, trim overhanging branches, and schedule a professional inspection every 3–5 years or after major storms. No re-sealing or periodic shingle replacement is necessary, so annual maintenance costs are minimal.
