FAQs
Why is metal roofing and siding a smart choice for homes and businesses in South Pittsburg?
South Pittsburg’s humid summers, occasional severe storms, and wide temperature swings make durability and weather resistance top priorities. Steel and aluminum panels are non-porous, so they won’t warp, crack, or absorb moisture like wood or asphalt materials can in our climate. Factory-applied paint systems are engineered to resist UV fading even under intense Tennessee sun, and the interlocking panel design sheds heavy rain quickly to minimize leaks in downpours. Because metal is non-combustible, it also adds an extra layer of fire protection—an important consideration in rural areas where brush fires can spread rapidly.
How long will a metal roof or wall system last, and what warranties are available?
Properly installed standing-seam or through-fastened metal roofs routinely last 40–70 years—two to three times longer than standard shingle roofs. Wall panels carry similar lifespans. Most manufacturers back their products with 30–40 year finish warranties against chalking, fading, and peeling, plus a separate 20-50 year warranty on the steel substrate against rust perforation. We are certified by several leading brands, so your system qualifies for full transferable warranties, giving future buyers added peace of mind and boosting resale value.
Will a metal roof be noisy during rain or hail storms?
Installed over modern underlayment, optional foam backers, and standard attic insulation, metal roofs are no louder than asphalt shingles. The panels are fastened to a solid deck, not open rafters, so any sound is dampened before it reaches the living space. Many customers report their new metal roof is actually quieter because the smooth surface reduces the drum effect you hear on old tin or pole-barn roofs.
Can metal roofing and siding improve my energy efficiency?
Yes. Light-colored or specially coated "cool roof" panels reflect a significant portion of the sun’s infrared heat, lowering attic temperatures by up to 30 °F in summer. That means air-conditioning systems cycle less, cutting South Pittsburg energy bills by 10–25 %. In winter, the continuous panel design minimizes air leakage, helping retain heat. Metal is also 100 % recyclable and often contains up to 40 % recycled content, making it an eco-friendly choice.
What is the typical installation timeline and disruption for homeowners?
A residential re-roof averaging 2,000 sq ft usually takes three to five days, weather permitting. Siding replacements on a similar-sized home add another two to four days. We start with a detailed inspection, deliver materials the day before, and use dump trailers to keep your driveway clear. Crews clean up daily, magnet-sweep for nails, and perform a final walkthrough so you never have exposed decking overnight. Commercial projects are scheduled in phases to minimize downtime for your business.
How much maintenance is required, and how does metal stand up to severe weather?
Maintenance is minimal—an annual garden-hose rinse and periodic gutter cleaning are usually all that’s needed. The baked-on finish resists algae, mildew, and chalking. For severe weather, our panels are rated to withstand 140 mph wind uplift, well above the 90 mph basic wind speed noted in the South Pittsburg building code. Metal’s high tensile strength shrugs off quarter-size hail without denting, and concealed fasteners keep panels secure during high wind gusts. If a branch does cause cosmetic damage, individual panels can be replaced without removing the entire roof or wall.
