FAQs
What roofing materials do you recommend for Spring City’s weather, and why?
We generally recommend architectural asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal, and synthetic slate for Spring City homes. Architectural shingles offer excellent wind resistance up to 130 mph and Class A fire ratings, making them a cost-effective, all-round performer. Standing-seam metal roofs shed snow quickly, resist hail, and reflect heat—ideal for the region’s hot summers and occasional winter storms. Synthetic slate delivers the classic look of natural stone with only one-third the weight, so most existing structures don’t need extra reinforcement while still enjoying a 50-year life expectancy.
How energy-efficient are your insulated vinyl and fiber-cement siding options?
Our insulated vinyl siding features a contoured foam backing with an R-value up to 3.5—about four times higher than standard vinyl—reducing thermal bridging and cutting heating and cooling costs by 10-15 %. Fiber-cement panels can be installed over continuous exterior insulation up to 1 inch thick, which improves wall performance to meet or exceed 2021 IECC standards. Both materials come in light-reflective color palettes that lower surface temperatures by as much as 15 °F, further decreasing air-conditioning demand.
What warranties do you offer on roofing and siding materials?
All premium asphalt shingle systems include a manufacturer’s Lifetime Limited Warranty, plus our own 10-year workmanship guarantee. Standing-seam metal carries a 40-year finish warranty against chalking and fading and a 30-year substrate warranty. Synthetic slate is backed by a 50-year transferable warranty. For siding, our insulated vinyl line offers a Double Lifetime Transferable Warranty covering fading, cracking, and delamination, while fiber-cement is protected by a 30-year product warranty and 15-year finish warranty. All warranties are non-prorated for the stated periods and transferable once within the first 10 years.
How long does a typical roofing or siding installation take in Spring City?
A standard 2,000 sq ft roof with a single layer tear-off usually takes 2–3 days, weather permitting. Metal or synthetic slate systems take 4–5 days due to custom flashing and panel fabrication. Siding replacement on an average two-story home spans 4–6 days, including removal, sheathing repairs, and trim work. We schedule projects to minimize disruption and can provide precise timelines after an on-site assessment.
Are your roofing and siding products environmentally responsible?
Yes. Our metal roofing contains up to 35 % recycled steel and is 100 % recyclable at end-of-life. Synthetic slate is produced from post-industrial polymers and limestone dust, diverting waste from landfills. Asphalt shingles are eligible for local shingle-to-pavement recycling programs. Fiber-cement siding uses sustainable wood pulp and Portland cement, while our vinyl siding meets NAHB Green Building Standard criteria and qualifies for LEED v4 points under MRc2 (Environmental Product Declarations). We also offer Cool Roof colors that comply with ENERGY STAR® reflectance requirements.
What maintenance is required to maximize the life of my new roof and siding?
For roofing, schedule a professional inspection every 2 years and after major storms to check flashing, sealant, and potential shingle uplift. Keep gutters clear, trim overhanging branches, and ensure attic ventilation remains unobstructed. Metal roofs benefit from an annual low-pressure rinse to remove pollen and debris. For siding, wash surfaces each spring with a garden hose and mild detergent—avoid pressure washers over 1,500 psi. Inspect caulked joints and repaint fiber-cement every 12–15 years or as needed. Following these simple steps can extend product lifespans to their full warranty terms or beyond.
