FAQs
What advantages does premium metal roofing offer over traditional asphalt shingles in Sunbright’s climate?
Premium metal roofs are engineered to withstand Sunbright’s intense summer heat, high UV exposure, and occasional severe storms. Metal reflects solar radiation, reducing attic temperatures by up to 30°F and lowering cooling costs by 10–25 %. The interlocking panels are rated for 140-mph winds, shed heavy rain quickly, and are non-combustible, giving you a Class A fire rating. Unlike asphalt shingles that often need replacing in 15–20 years, metal roofs last 50+ years with minimal maintenance, providing superior lifetime value.
How long does a premium metal roof typically last, and what kind of warranty do you provide?
Our standing-seam and metal shake panels have an expected service life of 50–70 years. We back this with a transferable 40-year manufacturer’s finish warranty against fading, chalking, and corrosion, plus our own 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation-related issues. With basic annual inspections and occasional cleaning, many metal roofs in similar East Tennessee conditions surpass 70 years of service.
Will a metal roof make my home noisier during rain or hail?
No. When installed correctly over solid roof decking with an approved underlayment and attic insulation, a premium metal roof is no louder than an asphalt roof. In fact, tests by the Metal Construction Association show interior sound levels only 2–4 dB higher than asphalt—hardly perceptible. We also offer optional acoustic underlayment for homeowners seeking maximum sound dampening.
Does installing a metal roof increase my home’s resale value in Sunbright?
Yes. National appraisal data indicate homeowners recoup 85–95 % of a metal roof’s cost at resale, compared with 60–70 % for asphalt replacements. Buyers value the 50-year lifespan, energy savings, and low maintenance. In Morgan County listings, homes with new metal roofs spend 18 % fewer days on market and command an average $18,000 higher sale price than comparable homes with shingles.
Can a metal roof be installed over my existing shingles, or will I need a complete tear-off?
In many cases we can install a new metal roof directly over a single layer of sound asphalt shingles, saving disposal costs and reducing landfill waste. We first inspect decking integrity, verify local code compliance, and add synthetic underlayment and spacer battens to create a ventilation gap. If shingles are curled, water-damaged, or you have two or more layers, a full tear-off is required to ensure a flat, warrantable substrate.
How much will a premium metal roof cost and are financing options available?
Costs depend on roof size, pitch, panel profile, and flashing complexity, but most Sunbright projects range between $9 and $14 per square foot installed. For a 2,000-square-foot roof you can expect $18,000–$28,000 before any energy-efficiency tax credits. We partner with local lenders to offer 0 % short-term and low-interest long-term financing, as well as same-as-cash options up to 18 months, so you can spread payments comfortably while enjoying immediate benefits.
