FAQs
Why is metal roofing a smart choice for Tazewell’s climate?
Tazewell experiences hot, humid summers, heavy rain, and occasional snow. High-quality metal panels shed rain quickly, resist wind uplift up to 140 mph, and have durable paint finishes that reflect solar heat, lowering attic temperatures by 10–15 °F. Unlike asphalt shingles that can crack during freeze-thaw cycles, metal will not warp or split, giving you 40–70 years of dependable service with minimal maintenance.
What types of metal roofing and siding profiles do you install?
We offer standing-seam panels, exposed-fastener rib panels, and stone-coated steel shingles for roofs. For siding, you can choose vertical board-and-batten, horizontal lap, corrugated industrial panels, or insulated metal wall systems. All profiles come in 26-, 24-, or 22-gauge steel or option-al aluminum, with more than 30 baked-on color finishes that meet ENERGY STAR® solar-reflectance standards.
How does the cost of a metal roof compare to asphalt shingles or wood siding?
Upfront, a metal roof is 2–3 × the price of an asphalt shingle roof, and metal siding is roughly 20 % more than premium vinyl. However, asphalt typically needs replacement every 15–20 years, while metal lasts 50+ years. When you factor in lower maintenance, reduced energy bills (up to 25 % cooling savings), and insurance discounts for Class A fire and Class 4 impact ratings, metal is usually the lowest life-cycle cost option over the long term.
Will a metal roof make my home noisier during rain or hail?
No. Modern metal systems are installed over an underlayment, optional high-density acoustic mat, and either plywood decking or existing shingles. These layers absorb sound, making noise levels comparable to other roofing materials. In fact, field tests by the Metal Construction Association show interior sound levels only 1–2 dB higher than asphalt roofs during heavy rain—an amount the human ear can hardly detect.
Can my existing roof or siding stay in place, or must it be removed first?
In many cases we can install a new metal roof directly over one layer of asphalt shingles, saving disposal costs and keeping debris out of landfills. We inspect your decking first to confirm it’s dry and structurally sound. For siding, old wood or vinyl must come off to ensure flat, secure attachment to studs or furring strips. Our team handles any necessary tear-off and disposal and will advise you after a free on-site assessment.
What warranties and maintenance should I expect with your metal roofing–siding systems?
Our products carry a 40-year manufacturer’s finish warranty against fading, chalking, and peeling, plus a 50-year warranty on the steel substrate for rust perforation. Workmanship is covered by our 10-year labor guarantee. Maintenance is simple: keep gutters clear, rinse surfaces annually to remove grime, and trim back overhanging branches. No resealing, re-painting, or frequent repairs are required, unlike traditional shingles or wood siding.
