FAQs
Why is a metal roof the best choice for resisting Winfield’s driving rain?
Metal roofing panels interlock tightly and are installed with concealed fasteners and high-grade sealant tape. This creates a continuous, watertight surface that sheds rain quickly, even when wind speeds push water horizontally. In Winfield, where spring and summer thunderstorms can deliver several inches of rain per hour, metal’s smooth surface and minimal seams outperform shingles that rely on overlapping layers and exposed nails.
How do you keep water from blowing up under the panels during installation?
Our crews use a three-part moisture defense system: 1) a self-adhering waterproof underlayment that seals around every screw; 2) full-length starter and closure strips that match the panel profile and block wind-driven water at eaves and ridges; and 3) butyl sealant placed in the panel sidelaps and at every penetration. Because the fasteners are concealed under the standing seams, there are no direct entry points for water once the roof is locked in place.
Will a metal roof be loud in heavy rainstorms?
Not when installed correctly. We place the metal panels over solid decking and a high-density synthetic underlayment, which act as sound-dampening layers. Homeowners typically report that interior noise is no different—often quieter—than with an asphalt roof. If you want extra peace and quiet, we can add a thin insulation board under the deck, reducing rain impact noise by up to 40 percent.
What kind of maintenance is required after severe wind-driven rain?
Metal roofs need very little upkeep. After a major storm we recommend a quick visual check from the ground or the attic: ensure no debris is trapped in valleys, gutters are clear, and trim remains intact. Because panels are rust-resistant and fasteners are concealed, there is rarely a need for resealing or replacing components. If tree branches have scraped the finish, call us—most scratches can be buffed out and recoated under warranty.
Does constant exposure to rain affect the energy efficiency of a metal roof?
No. The baked-on, Kynar 500® reflective coating continues to deflect up to 70 percent of solar radiation even in wet conditions. In fact, the quick shedding of water keeps the roof surface cooler than porous materials that absorb moisture. Homeowners in Winfield frequently see summer attic temperatures drop 10–15 °F and HVAC bills cut by 15–25 percent compared with dark asphalt shingles.
How long will a metal roof last in Winfield and what warranty do you provide?
Premium standing-seam steel and aluminum roofs have a service life of 50 years or more in Kansas’ climate. Our panels carry a 40-year finish warranty against chalk and fade, a 30-year warranty against rust perforation, and we back our workmanship with a transferable 10-year leak-free guarantee. With periodic inspections, your roof could easily be the last one you ever buy for your home.
