FAQs
What are the benefits of choosing metal roofing for my home in Tellico Plains?
Metal roofing offers several benefits including durability, longevity, and energy efficiency. It's resistant to extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, strong winds, snow, and hail, which is ideal for the weather in Tellico Plains. Additionally, metal roofs are environmentally friendly and can be made from recycled materials. They also reflect solar radiant heat, which can reduce cooling costs.
How long does a metal roof typically last?
A properly installed and maintained metal roof can last between 40 to 70 years, depending on the material. In comparison, traditional asphalt shingles typically last 15 to 20 years. The longevity of metal roofing makes it a cost-effective solution in the long run.
Is metal roofing noisy during rain or hail?
Contrary to popular belief, a metal roof installed with solid sheathing and proper insulation is no noisier than any other type of roofing. When properly installed, metal roofs can actually insulate against noise, and the sound of rain or hail is not noticeably louder than that on asphalt shingles.
Can metal roofing be installed over my existing roof?
Yes, in many cases metal roofing can be installed over an existing roof without removing the old shingles, provided the structure can support the additional weight. This can save time and labor costs. However, local building codes should be checked to ensure compliance.
Are metal roofs safe in lightning-prone areas?
Yes, metal roofs are safe during lightning storms. Metal is a non-combustible material with the highest Class A fire-resistance rating available. It does not increase the likelihood of a lightning strike, but if lightning does strike a metal roof, the energy is safely dispersed throughout the structure.
How much does metal roofing cost compared to other roofing types?
While the initial cost of metal roofing is higher than asphalt shingles, it is generally less expensive than slate or tile roofing. Metal roofing's long lifespan, low maintenance requirements, and energy efficiency can lead to cost savings over time. On average, metal roofing can range from $5.00 to $12.00 per square foot, while asphalt shingles range from $3.00 to $5.00 per square foot.
