FAQs
How long can a metal roof typically last in Morristown’s climate?
Metal roofs are renowned for their longevity and can often last 40 to 70 years. In Morristown’s mix of different seasons—ranging from hot, humid summers to cold, snowy winters—a properly installed metal roof can withstand extreme temperatures, wind, and precipitation with minimal wear. This makes it an excellent long-term investment for local homes and buildings.
Are metal roofs more expensive than traditional shingle roofs?
While the upfront cost of a metal roof is generally higher than asphalt shingles, you can expect significant savings over the lifetime of the roof. Low maintenance requirements, high energy efficiency, and exceptional durability help offset the initial investment, often making metal roofing more cost-effective in the long run.
Will a metal roof be noisy during rainstorms or hail?
A well-installed metal roof typically includes solid sheathing or insulation underneath, which helps dampen sound. In many cases, a metal roof is no noisier than other roofing types. If you’re concerned about noise, additional insulation can further reduce the sound of rain or hail.
Is a metal roof more susceptible to lightning strikes?
No. Metal roofing does not attract lightning any more than other roof types. If lightning does strike, the metal serves as a low-resistance path to ground. Metal roofing is also noncombustible, which reduces the risk of a fire starting from a lightning strike.
How do metal roofs handle harsh winter conditions?
Metal roofing often performs exceptionally well in cold climates. Its smooth surface helps shed snow and ice, preventing buildup that can stress roof structures. Proper installation with snow guards can help control how snow slides off, increasing safety for the surrounding area and buildings.
What maintenance is required for a metal roof?
Metal roofs are relatively low-maintenance. Occasionally removing debris, checking for any loose fasteners, and ensuring gutters remain clear are the most common tasks. It’s also a good idea to have a professional inspection every few years to confirm that seals, flashing, and fittings remain tight and secure.
