FAQs
What is a metal shingle roofing system and how is it different from traditional asphalt shingles?
Metal shingles are stamped panels made from galvanized steel, aluminum, or copper that interlock on all four sides. They mimic the look of slate, shake, or architectural asphalt but deliver the strength of metal. Unlike asphalt shingles—which are petroleum-based, weigh more per square foot, and usually last 15–25 years—metal shingles are non-combustible, lightweight, recyclable, and designed to last 40–70 years. They resist UV degradation, won’t crack or curl, and reflect more solar heat, making them a longer-lasting and more energy-efficient choice for Strawberry Plains homeowners.
How long will a metal shingle roof last in Strawberry Plains, and what warranties are offered?
In East Tennessee’s mix of hot, humid summers and occasional winter snow, a quality metal shingle roof typically performs for 50 years or more. Our systems use G-90 or Galvalume® steel with Kynar®/Hylar® finishes that carry 30- to 40-year fade warranties and lifetime manufacturer warranties against corrosion and perforation. Labor warranties from our installation team range from 5 to 10 years, giving you decades of worry-free protection.
Will a metal shingle roof make my home noisier during rain or hail?
No. Modern metal shingle assemblies include an underlayment, solid roof decking, and your attic’s insulation, which together dampen sound as effectively as asphalt shingles. Independent tests show noise levels only 6–7 dB higher than asphalt—well below the threshold most people can perceive indoors. Many customers report their homes are actually quieter because the interlocking panels eliminate shingle flutter in high winds.
How energy-efficient are metal shingles, and can they reduce my utility bills?
Yes. The high-reflectivity paint systems on our metal shingles bounce back up to 70 % of the sun’s radiant energy. In Strawberry Plains’ hot summers, that can lower attic temperatures by 20–30 °F and reduce cooling costs by 10–25 %. Several colors are ENERGY STAR® certified and may qualify for local utility rebates. In winter, the low-emissivity finish helps retain interior heat, so you save year-round.
Can metal shingles handle the severe weather we sometimes get in East Tennessee?
Absolutely. Our metal shingle systems carry a Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—for hail resistance and are engineered to withstand wind speeds of 120–150 mph, well above the typical gusts in Jefferson and Knox Counties. The interlocking design prevents uplift, while the sleek surface sheds snow quickly to reduce ice dams. Metal is also non-combustible, giving your home extra protection against wildfire and stray fireworks.
What does a metal shingle roof cost, and is it worth the investment?
Installed costs in the Strawberry Plains area usually fall between $8 and $12 per square foot—about twice the price of architectural asphalt but still less than standing-seam metal or natural slate. However, the longer lifespan, minimal maintenance, energy savings, possible insurance discounts, and a resale value boost of 5–6 % often make the total cost of ownership lower than asphalt after 15–20 years. Many homeowners recoup 60–70 % of the upfront cost at resale while enjoying decades of superior protection.
