FAQs
What is a standing-seam metal roof and how does it differ from other metal roofing styles?
A standing-seam roof is made of long, interlocking metal panels that run vertically from the eave to the ridge. The raised seams (or “legs”) hide the fasteners, protecting them from weather and creating a sleek, contemporary look. This differs from exposed-fastener systems (such as corrugated panels) where screws are visible and more susceptible to leaks over time. The concealed-fastener design of standing-seam roofs provides superior weather tightness, cleaner aesthetics, and lower long-term maintenance.
Is a standing-seam roof a good choice for the climate in Ten Mile, TN?
Yes. Ten Mile experiences hot, humid summers, occasional high winds, and the potential for heavy rain or hail. Standing-seam panels are typically made from 24- or 26-gauge galvanized or Galvalume steel or aluminum, which easily sheds rainwater, resists corrosion, and withstands wind uplifts of 120 mph or more when properly fastened. The smooth vertical seams also help snow slide off faster during rare winter events, reducing ice dams. High-reflective paint finishes can lower attic temperatures during hot Tennessee summers, improving energy efficiency.
How long can I expect a standing-seam metal roof to last, and what maintenance will it require?
Installed correctly, a standing-seam roof lasts 40–70 years. The thick, factory-applied Kynar/Hylar coatings resist fading and chalking for 30+ years. Routine maintenance is minimal: (1) clear leaves and debris from valleys and gutters twice a year, (2) inspect for surface scratches or dents after severe storms and touch up as needed, (3) check flashings, sealant points, and snow guards annually. Because the fasteners are concealed, there is no need for periodic screw replacement that exposed-fastener roofs require.
How much does a standing-seam metal roof cost in Ten Mile, and what factors influence the price?
In Ten Mile, a professionally installed standing-seam roof typically ranges from $9 to $15 per square foot (materials + labor). Price varies based on: • Panel metal type (Galvalume steel vs. aluminum or copper) • Panel thickness (24-gauge costs more than 26-gauge) • Roof complexity (pitch, hips, valleys, dormers) • Underlayment choice (synthetic, high-temperature, or self-adhered) • Removal of existing roofing • Insulation or radiant-barrier upgrades • Custom color or specialty coatings.

Can a standing-seam metal roof be installed over my existing shingles?
Often, yes. If your existing shingle roof has only one layer, the decking is sound, and local codes allow, we can install standing-seam panels over a special underlayment and furring strips without a full tear-off. This saves disposal fees and reduces installation time. However, if there are multiple shingle layers, moisture damage, or ventilation problems, we recommend a complete removal to ensure the new roof performs to its 40-plus-year potential.
What warranties and certifications do you offer on standing-seam roofing installations in Ten Mile?
