FAQs
Why should I choose sleek metal panel roofing for my Strawberry Plains property?
Metal panels offer superior durability, wind and hail resistance, and an ultra-modern look that complements both historic farmhouses and new builds around Strawberry Plains. Unlike asphalt shingles that can curl, crack, or blow off in our humid summers and stormy springs, steel or aluminum panels form an interlocking shield that easily sheds rain and snow. They are Class A fire-rated, recyclable at the end of their long service life, and add significant resale value—making them an environmentally responsible and financially smart choice for East Tennessee homeowners and business owners alike.
How long will a metal panel roof last compared with traditional shingles?
With proper installation and minimal maintenance, our 24- & 26-gauge standing-seam and ribbed panels routinely last 40-70 years, more than double the 15-25-year life expectancy of architectural shingles. The baked-on Kynar 500® or SMP paint finishes resist fading and chalking, and the galvanized or Galvalume® substrate combats rust even in Strawberry Plains’ high humidity. In many cases, you may never need to reroof again, which dramatically lowers lifetime roofing costs.
Will a metal roof make my home noisier during rain or hailstorms?
No. When installed correctly, a metal roof is no louder than any other roofing system. We attach panels over a solid roof deck with high-density synthetic underlayment and optional rigid insulation, which together dampen sound. Many clients in Strawberry Plains report that interior noise was actually reduced compared with their previous shingle roof, especially in bonus rooms and attics.
Can a metal roof help reduce my energy bills in Tennessee’s climate?
Yes. Our cool-roof coatings reflect up to 70 % of solar heat, keeping attic temperatures up to 30 °F cooler on hot July afternoons. This lowers HVAC run time and can cut summer energy bills by 10-25 %. In winter, the same panels form a tight, low-leakage barrier that minimizes heat loss. We can further boost efficiency by adding a continuous vented ridge and matching intake vents to promote proper airflow.
What does the installation process look like with Roofing Done Right, and how long does it take?
1) Site Visit & Quote: We inspect your existing roof, measure, and provide a detailed proposal within 24 hours. 2) Design & Ordering: You choose panel profile, color, and trim details; we order materials from our Knoxville supplier to shorten lead times. 3) Preparation: On day one, we protect landscaping, remove old roofing (if necessary), and inspect decking. 4) Installation: Underlayment, flashing, custom-formed panels, and final trim are installed following the Metal Construction Association (MCA) guidelines. Most residential roofs (2,000–3,000 sq ft) are completed in 2–4 days, weather permitting. 5) Cleanup & Inspection: We magnet-sweep for nails, haul away debris, and walk the roof with you to ensure total satisfaction before final payment.
What warranties and maintenance requirements come with your sleek metal panel roofs?
Every project includes a 40-year manufacturer paint warranty against fading, chalking, and cracking, plus a 25- to 30-year substrate warranty on Galvalume® corrosion. Roofing Done Right adds a 10-year workmanship guarantee covering fastener back-out, seam leaks, and trim issues. Maintenance is minimal: keep gutters clear, trim back overhanging limbs, and schedule a free inspection every 5 years—or after major hail or wind events—for peace of mind. No periodic recoating is needed, and fasteners on exposed-fastener systems are checked during inspections and replaced if necessary.
