FAQs
What exactly is a metal-shingle roofing system and how does it differ from standing-seam metal panels?
A metal-shingle system is made of stamped, interlocking steel or aluminum panels that imitate the size and profile of traditional asphalt or wood shingles. Unlike standing-seam panels, each shingle is individually fastened with hidden clips that lock on all four sides, creating a continuous water-tight surface. This gives you the architectural look of a shingle roof with the durability, fire resistance, and long service life of metal.
How long will a metal-shingle roof last in Walland’s climate?
With proper installation, our Galvalume steel shingles finished with Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000® paint carry a 40-year finish warranty and an expected service life of 50–70 years. Walland’s moderate snow loads and occasional hail are well within the impact and uplift ratings of the system, and the baked-on finish resists the high humidity and UV exposure common to East Tennessee.
Will a metal-shingle roof make my home hotter or noisier when it rains?
No. Our shingles are Energy Star–rated and include an infrared-reflective coating that bounces a portion of the sun’s heat back into the atmosphere, typically lowering attic temperatures by 20–30 °F compared with dark asphalt shingles. As for sound, the combination of roof decking, synthetic underlayment, and the small panel size actually dampens vibration; independent tests show rain noise is within 2–3 dB of an architectural shingle roof—barely perceptible to the human ear.
How does the cost of a metal-shingle roof compare with architectural asphalt shingles?
Installed costs in the Walland area average $8–$12 per square foot for metal shingles versus $3–$5 for architectural asphalt. While the upfront investment is higher, metal’s longer lifespan means you avoid one or two full re-roof cycles, saving 30–40 % over 50 years. Homeowners also see energy-bill reductions of 10–15 % and may qualify for insurance discounts because metal roofing is Class A fire-rated and Class 4 impact-resistant.
Can metal-shingle systems be installed over my existing shingle roof?
Often, yes. If your current decking is sound and local code permits, we can install the metal shingles over one layer of existing asphalt using a vented batten system. This saves tear-off costs, keeps tons of material out of the landfill, and creates an air gap that further improves energy performance. A free attic and deck inspection will confirm whether an overlay or full tear-off is the best option for your home.
What maintenance and warranty coverage should I expect?
Maintenance is minimal—an annual garden-hose rinse and clearing of leaves from valleys and gutters is usually all that’s required. The finish warranty covers fade, chalk, and film integrity for 40 years, and the manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty protects against manufacturing defects for the life of the roof. Our Walland installation team also provides a 10-year workmanship warranty that is transferable to the next homeowner, adding resale value to your property.
