FAQs
Why should I choose Premium Metal Systems for my metal roof in Washburn?
Premium Metal Systems specializes exclusively in metal roofing and has installed hundreds of roofs throughout Washburn and the surrounding Bayfield County area. Our crews are factory-trained, we use only 24- & 26-gauge steel from U.S. mills, and every project is engineered for Lake Superior’s snow loads and wind gusts. From free on-site consultations to meticulous cleanup, you receive local expertise, top-tier materials, and a single point of accountability backed by an A+ BBB rating.
What benefits does a metal roof offer in Washburn’s climate?
Washburn experiences lake-effect snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and summer temperature swings. A metal roof sheds snow quickly, eliminating ice-dam issues common with asphalt shingles. High-reflective paint finishes lower attic temperatures in July, while a tight interlocking panel system resists 120-mph wind gusts off Lake Superior. Metal is also non-combustible, so you gain superior fire resistance for wood-framed homes surrounded by Northwoods forests.
How long will installation take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
Most single-family residences are completed in three to five working days, weather permitting. We start by staging materials the day before, then remove old shingles in sections to keep your roof watertight at all times. Our crew uses magnetic rollers to capture nails, and portable dump trailers prevent driveway damage. You can remain in the home throughout the project; we coordinate with you to keep entrances and parking accessible.
Are metal roofs energy-efficient, and can they lower my utility bills?
Yes. Premium Metal Systems panels feature Kynar 500® or SMP paint with IR-reflective pigments that bounce away up to 70 % of solar heat. Homeowners typically see a 10-15 % reduction in summer cooling costs. In winter, the continuous underlayment and radiant barrier options we install help retain heat, reducing furnace run time. These energy savings, combined with a roof life expectancy of 50+ years, create one of the best life-cycle values in roofing.
What warranties and maintenance requirements come with your metal roofs?
You receive a transferable lifetime workmanship warranty from Premium Metal Systems plus a 40-year manufacturer’s finish warranty against chalking, fading, and film integrity. Because metal resists algae and moss, maintenance is minimal: occasional rinsing with a garden hose and clearing debris from valleys or gutters. We perform a complimentary inspection at year one and year five to ensure fasteners and flashings remain tight.
How much does a Premium Metal Systems roof cost, and do you offer financing?
Installed costs in Washburn average $8–$12 per square foot, depending on panel profile, roof complexity, and whether existing layers must be removed. While a metal roof costs more upfront than asphalt, its 50-plus-year life means you avoid two or three re-roof cycles, saving money long-term. We partner with GreenSky and local credit unions to offer 6-, 12-, and 18-month 0 % interest plans as well as extended terms up to 144 months, making premium metal roofing affordable for most homeowners.
