FAQs
Why is metal roofing a smart choice for homes and businesses in Soddy-Daisy?
Soddy-Daisy experiences hot, humid summers, heavy spring rains, and the occasional hail or high-wind event. Steel or aluminum panels with high-performance paint systems resist corrosion from humidity, shed rain quickly thanks to interlocking seams, and achieve Class 4 impact and up-to-135 mph wind ratings—an ideal match for local weather conditions. In addition, metal roofing reflects a large portion of solar heat, keeping attics cooler and reducing summer cooling bills by up to 25 percent.
What styles and metal types does Watertight Fit Roofing offer?
We install three main profiles: standing-seam panels for a sleek modern look, exposed-fastener rib panels for economical durability, and metal shingles that mimic slate or shake. Materials include 26- or 24-gauge galvanized steel, Galvalume, and corrosion-resistant aluminum for coastal-influenced areas near Chickamauga Lake. All systems come in a wide palette of Energy Star-rated colors and carry a 40-year finish warranty.
How long does a typical metal roof installation take and what should I expect during the project?
Most single-family homes in Soddy-Daisy are completed in three to five days. Day 1 involves site protection and tear-off of old roofing (if required). Days 2-3 cover underlayment, flashing, and panel installation with hidden fasteners or gasketed screws. Final days focus on ridge caps, trim, and a magnetic cleanup. Our crew arrives at 7:30 a.m., follows OSHA safety practices, and performs a daily walkthrough with you or your representative.
Is a metal roof noisy during rain or storms?
No. Modern metal roofing is installed over synthetic underlayment and often over existing decking or battens, creating a sound-dampening barrier. Interior decibel tests show metal roofs are no louder than architectural shingles. Many clients actually report a pleasant, low rumble during light rain.
How energy-efficient and environmentally friendly is a metal roof?
Cool-coated panels reflect 60–70 percent of solar radiation, qualifying for TVA energy-efficiency incentives and lowering AC runtime. Metal roofing is also 100 percent recyclable at end of life and often contains 25–35 percent recycled content to start with. Choosing metal can divert several tons of asphalt shingles from Tennessee landfills over the roof’s 50-plus-year lifespan.
What does maintenance involve, and what warranties do you provide?
Maintenance is minimal: an annual visual inspection, clearing leaves from valleys, and re-sealing exposed fasteners every 12–15 years on rib panels. Standing-seam systems have no exposed screws and usually require only occasional cleaning. We provide a transferable 40-year manufacturer finish warranty and a 10-year Watertight Fit workmanship warranty that covers leaks, fastener backing-out, and flashings.
