FAQs
What advantages does American-made steel roofing offer for homes and businesses in Vonore?
Our steel panels are manufactured in the USA using premium 24- and 26-gauge Galvalume® or galvanized substrates. Choosing American-made metal means tighter quality control, consistent thickness, and coatings that meet ASTM standards for corrosion resistance. For Vonore property owners, this translates into a roof that resists rust in our humid summers, stands up to high winds that can sweep through the Little Tennessee River valley, and delivers a service life of 50+ years—more than double that of conventional asphalt shingles.
How well does a metal roof handle Vonore’s weather, including hail and high winds?
Steel roofing systems are engineered and tested to UL 2218 Class 4 impact ratings, the highest available, so they can withstand hail up to 2 inches in diameter without cracking or splintering. Panel profiles interlock and are fastened to meet wind-uplift standards of at least 140 mph—well above the gusts produced by summer thunderstorms or remnants of tropical systems that occasionally affect Monroe County. A factory-applied Kynar 500® or SMP paint finish also shields the roof from UV fading and acid rain, keeping your home protected and looking new for decades.
Will a metal roof lower my energy bills?
Yes. Our American-made panels come with integral cool-roof pigments that reflect solar infrared radiation. Independent Oak Ridge National Laboratory studies show that a painted metal roof can reduce peak cooling demand by 15–25 %. In Vonore’s warm, humid climate, that can translate into noticeable savings on summer electric bills. When paired with quality attic ventilation and insulation, homeowners frequently report recouping a portion of their roofing investment through lower HVAC costs year-round.
How long does installation take, and what disruption should I expect?
A typical single-family residence of 2,000–3,000 square feet can be re-roofed in 3–5 days, weather permitting. Because metal panels arrive pre-cut or cut on-site to exact lengths, there is less on-site fabrication, resulting in a faster, cleaner jobsite. Our crews use magnetic rollers to capture stray screws and schedule tear-off and installation in phases so your home is never left exposed overnight. Most customers find noise and disruption comparable to—or less than—a traditional shingle replacement.
What warranties and maintenance are included with your American-made steel roofing?
Every roof we install in Vonore carries a dual warranty: a 40-year transferable manufacturer’s warranty on the paint finish against chalking, fading, and peeling, and a limited lifetime workmanship warranty from our company covering installation-related leaks. Maintenance is minimal: keep gutters clear, remove large branches or debris after storms, and schedule an inspection every few years to check flashings. Unlike asphalt, you’ll never need to re-seal or re-granulate a metal roof.
Is metal roofing noisy during rain or hail?
When installed over a solid deck with underlayment—standard practice for residential projects—the sound level inside your home is only 2–4 dB higher than that of an asphalt roof. Most homeowners cannot distinguish the difference. Optional high-density foam backers or an added layer of synthetic underlayment can further dampen sound if you are sensitive to noise. In fact, many customers enjoy the gentle patter of rain on metal, describing it as soothing rather than disruptive.
