FAQs
What modern color options are available for metal roofing in Shelbyville?
We offer an extensive palette of baked-on finishes, including contemporary neutrals like charcoal and slate, earth tones such as bronze and evergreen, and bold statement colors like crimson red or cobalt blue. All coatings use Kynar 500® or SMP resin systems, which resist chalking and fading while withstanding Shelbyville’s mix of hot summers, heavy rains, and occasional hail. Custom colors can also be matched for historical districts or HOA requirements with a typical lead time of 2–3 weeks.
How long does a colored metal roof last compared with traditional asphalt shingles?
A factory-finished steel or aluminum roof in our climate routinely delivers 40–70 years of service—roughly two to three times the 15–25-year lifespan of architectural shingles. The hidden-fastener panels we install include a 35-year fade warranty on the paint, a 40-year warranty against corrosion, and a 25-year workmanship guarantee when installed by our certified crews.
Is a modern metal roof energy-efficient for Shelbyville homes?
Yes. The high-reflectivity pigments in today’s cool-roof colors bounce away up to 70 % of the sun’s infrared heat, helping attics stay 20–30 °F cooler during Middle Tennessee’s scorching summers. Homeowners typically see 10–15 % reductions in peak-season cooling costs. In winter, the roof’s low thermal mass means less overnight heat loss, and panels are installed over a continuous underlayment that acts as an additional radiant barrier.
Will the color on my metal roof fade or chalk over time?
Minimal color shift is inevitable on any exterior finish, but Kynar 500® coatings are engineered to hold their hue within 5 Hunter units (a barely noticeable change) over 30 years. They also resist the white chalking that can occur as paint resins break down. Regular rinsing with a garden hose and an annual soft-wash inspection are usually all that’s needed to keep the roof looking new.
How much does installing a modern colored metal roof cost in Shelbyville?
Pricing depends on panel style, color class, and roof complexity, but most residential projects fall between $9 and $14 per square foot of roof area, fully installed. For an average 2,000-square-foot roof, that’s $18,000–$28,000 before any available energy-efficiency tax credits. While the upfront cost is higher than asphalt, lifetime ownership costs are lower thanks to fewer replacements, reduced utilities, and higher resale value.
What maintenance and warranty coverage can I expect?
Maintenance is straightforward: clear debris from valleys, keep gutters clean, and schedule a professional inspection every 3–5 years. No sealing, painting, or shingle replacement is required. Manufacturer warranties cover film integrity for 40 years and color fade/chalk for 35 years; our workmanship warranty is 25 years and fully transferable once. If a severe storm ever dents or punctures a panel, individual sections can be replaced without re-roofing the entire home.
