FAQs
Why is metal roofing a smart choice for homes in the Smoky Mountain Foothills around Seymour?
The Seymour area experiences heavy rain, occasional snow, strong winds, and high humidity. Metal roofing excels in these conditions because the panels interlock tightly, shedding rain and snow quickly while resisting uplift in high winds. The baked-on finishes are also resistant to rust and mildew, extending roof life far beyond asphalt shingles—often 40–70 years. In addition, the reflective coatings on many panels help keep attics cooler in summer, which can lower energy bills.
How well does a metal roof stand up to severe weather common to East Tennessee?
Our standing-seam and metal shingle systems are rated to withstand wind gusts of 120–140 mph and have Class 4 impact resistance, the highest rating available. This means better protection during the strong thunderstorms and the rare hail events we see in the foothills. The panels are also non-combustible (Class A fire rating), adding an extra layer of safety during dry spells when wildfire risk rises.
What styles, colors, and profiles of metal roofing do you offer to Seymour homeowners?
We install concealed-fastener standing seam panels (24- & 26-gauge steel or aluminum), metal shingles that mimic slate or shake, and exposed-fastener rib panels for cabins and outbuildings. More than 30 standard colors—including energy-efficient “cool roof” finishes—are available, plus custom color matching. You can choose from smooth, striated, or pencil-rib textures, and we offer premium coatings such as Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000® for maximum fade resistance.
What is the typical installation timeline and process for a metal roof in the Seymour area?
Most residential projects take 2–4 days once materials arrive. Day 1 focuses on removing old roofing and inspecting the decking. Day 2 involves installing underlayment, ice-and-water shield along eaves and valleys, and any required ventilation upgrades. On Days 2–3 we attach the panels or shingles, flash penetrations, and install ridge caps. A final walkthrough and magnetic ground sweep ensure the job site is cleaner than we found it. We handle permits, debris disposal, and coordinate any inspections required by Sevier County.
How much maintenance will my new metal roof require?
Metal roofs are largely maintenance-free. Seasonal tasks include clearing debris from valleys and gutters, and visually checking for branches or objects that might abrade the finish. Because fasteners are hidden on standing seam systems, there are no exposed screws to back out or replace. We recommend an inspection every 2–3 years—or after a major storm—just to verify sealant integrity around flashings. With basic care, you can expect decades of trouble-free service.
Do you offer warranties or financing for metal roofing projects in Seymour?
Yes. Manufacturer warranties range from 30-year finish coverage to limited lifetime depending on the panel and coating you choose. Our workmanship warranty covers installation for 10 years, giving you a single point of contact for any issue. For budgeting, we partner with several lenders to provide low-interest financing and same-as-cash promotions so you can spread payments over 12–144 months. We also assist with insurance claims when storm damage is involved.
