FAQs
What are the main benefits of having factory-trained crews install my metal roof in Thorn Hill?
Factory-trained crews are educated directly by the manufacturers on correct handling, cutting, fastening, sealing, and flashing methods for each specific metal panel profile. This means your roof is installed exactly to the manufacturer’s engineering specs, ensuring optimal wind uplift resistance, watertight seams, and a clean finished appearance. Because our team follows these certified procedures, you receive the full manufacturer warranty, fewer callbacks for repairs, and longer overall roof life—critical advantages in Thorn Hill’s variable climate.
How long does it normally take to replace an average-sized roof with metal panels?
Most single-family homes in Thorn Hill can be completed in three to five working days from tear-off to final inspection, depending on roof complexity and weather. Our crews stage materials in advance, use roll-forming equipment on site when possible, and work in coordinated teams (tear-off, underlayment, panel placement, trim). Because everyone is factory trained, tasks are performed in the right sequence with minimal downtime, reducing overall project duration compared with conventional crews.
Will a metal roof be noisy during rain or hail?
No. When installed correctly over solid decking and high-density underlayment, a metal roof is only a few decibels louder than asphalt shingles—typically not noticeable inside the home. Our factory-trained technicians attach panels with concealed fasteners and rigid clips, eliminating the oil-canning and vibration that create noise on poorly installed systems. Many clients report that rain sounds softer than it did on their old shingle roof.
How does a metal roof stand up to Thorn Hill’s snow, wind, and temperature swings?
High-quality steel and aluminum panels have a Class 4 impact rating and can withstand winds over 200 km/h when installed to spec. The slick metal surface and optional snow-guard system let snow slide off gradually, reducing ice-dam risk. Reflective coatings help lower attic temperatures in summer, while the roof’s low thermal expansion clips prevent warping during freeze-thaw cycles. All these performance features rely on precise installation, which our factory-trained crews provide.
What kind of warranties do you offer on your metal roofing systems and workmanship?
Most of our standing-seam and metal shingle products carry a 40- to 50-year manufacturer material warranty plus a 30-year finish (paint) warranty. Because we are certified installers, the manufacturer also backs a 15- to 25-year weathertightness guarantee when specified. In addition, we include our own 10-year workmanship warranty covering labor, flashings, and fasteners. These layered protections give Thorn Hill homeowners long-term peace of mind.
How much maintenance will I need to perform after my new metal roof is installed?
Metal roofing is virtually maintenance-free. Routine care involves clearing leaves from valleys and checking gutters twice a year. Unlike asphalt shingles, metal panels will not curl, crack, or shed granules, so no periodic replacement is required. Fasteners stay protected under standing seams, and factory-applied finishes resist fading and corrosion. If a panel is ever damaged by falling branches, individual sections can be replaced without disturbing the rest of the roof, saving time and cost.
