FAQs
What types of metal roofing systems do you install in Ten Mile?
We install a full range of residential and light-commercial metal roofing systems, including standing-seam panels, exposed-fastener panels (such as R-panel), metal shingles, and specialty profiles like corrugated or curved sheets. All systems are fabricated from high-quality Galvalume or aluminum substrates with Kynar 500®/PVDF coatings for superior color retention and corrosion resistance. During your on-site consultation we’ll help you choose the profile, gauge, and color that best match your home’s architecture, budget, and performance goals.
How well does a metal roof perform in the East Tennessee climate?
Metal roofing is engineered to withstand the high summer temperatures, heavy rains, occasional hail, and strong winds common in the Ten Mile area. Panels are rated for wind speeds of 120–140 mph and have Class 4 impact resistance, the highest rating available. Unlike asphalt shingles, metal will not curl, crack, or suffer granular loss under UV exposure. Properly installed underlayment and ridge ventilation also minimize the risk of moisture buildup and ice dams during colder snaps.
Are metal roofs energy-efficient, and will they lower my utility bills?
Yes. The reflective coatings on modern steel and aluminum panels bounce a large portion of the sun’s infrared heat away from your attic, reducing roof-surface temperatures by up to 50 °F. In studies by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, this translates into cooling-cost savings of 10–25% for Tennessee homeowners. If we add an integral radiant barrier or above-sheathing ventilation, energy savings can be even higher. Many finishes meet ENERGY STAR® criteria and may qualify for local utility rebates.
How long does installation typically take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A typical single-family home in Ten Mile can be re-roofed with metal in three to five days, weather permitting. We start by protecting landscaping and setting up magnetic nail sweepers. Tear-off and deck inspection are usually finished on day one. Panels are then custom-cut on site to reduce seams and waste. Because metal roofing is lighter than shingles, it often requires fewer structural modifications, which speeds things up. Noise is contained as much as practicable, and we schedule work hours between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. so you can plan accordingly.
What maintenance does a metal roof require compared with asphalt shingles?
Metal roofs are essentially low-maintenance. An annual visual inspection, clearing of leaves from valleys and gutters, and an occasional gentle rinse with a garden hose are usually all that’s needed. Fasteners and sealant points should be checked every 10–15 years on exposed-fastener systems; standing-seam roofs have concealed clips, so maintenance is even lighter. You will not need periodic granular re-coating, algae treatments, or shingle replacements that asphalt roofs often demand in our humid climate.
What warranties and financing options do you offer for metal roofing projects in Ten Mile?
Our standard package includes a 40-year manufacturer’s finish warranty against fading, chalking, and peeling, plus a 25-year panel integrity warranty covering rust perforation. We also provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our installation labor. Extended warranties up to 50 years are available for premium PVDF finishes. For budgeting, we partner with local lenders to offer zero-down, low-interest financing with terms from 12 to 144 months. Because metal roofing can raise home resale value and lower insurance premiums, many customers find the monthly payment comparable to their current utility-plus-maintenance costs.
