FAQs
Why should I choose metal panel roofing over traditional asphalt shingles for my Ten Mile home or business?
Metal panels provide superior durability, fire resistance, and longevity—often lasting 40–70 years compared with 15–25 years for asphalt shingles. They also hold up better against Ten Mile’s mix of hot summers, high winds off Watts Bar Lake, and occasional heavy snowfalls, reducing the need for frequent repairs and replacements.
How well does a metal roof handle the weather conditions common in Ten Mile?
Our steel and aluminum panels are rated for wind speeds up to 140 mph and have Class 4 impact resistance, meaning they can withstand hail and flying debris. They also feature advanced corrosion-resistant coatings to combat the region’s humidity and occasional salt carried by lake breezes. A properly installed metal roof sheds snow quickly and reflects UV rays, keeping interiors cooler.
Will a metal roof make my home noisier during rain or hailstorms?
No. When installed correctly with a solid roof deck, high-density underlayment, and attic insulation, a metal roof is no louder than other roofing systems. Many homeowners report that the sound level is equal to—or even quieter than—what they experienced with asphalt shingles.
Is metal panel roofing energy-efficient?
Yes. Metal panels have high solar reflectance and thermal emissivity, meaning they bounce back a significant portion of the sun’s heat instead of absorbing it. ENERGY STAR-rated coatings can reduce cooling costs by 10–25 % in Ten Mile’s warm season, and the panels’ low thermal mass helps release any absorbed heat rapidly after sunset.
What kind of maintenance will my new metal roof require?
Metal roofs require far less upkeep than most roofing materials. An annual inspection to check fasteners, sealant, and debris accumulation in valleys is typically all that’s needed. Occasional rinsing with a garden hose will help maintain the finish. There’s no need for frequent shingle replacements, moss treatments, or costly repairs associated with other roof types.
How does the overall cost of a metal roof compare to other roofing options in Ten Mile?
Up-front, metal roofs cost 2–3 times more than asphalt shingles but far less than premium options like slate or tile. When you factor in the roof’s 40–70-year lifespan, lower maintenance, and possible energy savings, metal panels often end up being the most cost-effective choice over time. They can also increase resale value and may qualify for homeowners-insurance discounts in Meigs and Roane counties.
