FAQs
Why should I choose metal roofing for my home or business in Jonesborough?
Metal roofing offers unmatched longevity (40–70 years), high wind and hail resistance, and excellent protection against the hot, humid summers and occasional winter ice we see in Jonesborough. Unlike asphalt shingles, metal panels will not crack, curl, or deteriorate under UV exposure, so you’ll spend less on repairs and replacements over the life of the roof.
How long will a properly installed metal roof last compared to other roofing materials?
In our region, an architectural-grade asphalt shingle roof typically lasts 15–20 years. A standing-seam or high-quality metal shingle roof, by contrast, can last 50 years or more. Most manufacturers back their steel or aluminum panels with 30- to 50-year warranties, and many coatings carry separate fade and chalk warranties as well. With routine inspections, it’s not unusual for metal roofs to remain watertight for 70 years.
Will a metal roof make my house hotter in the summer or louder when it rains?
No. Modern metal roofing systems are installed over solid decking with underlayment, which dampens sound to levels comparable to (and often quieter than) asphalt shingles. For heat, most metal panels feature high-reflectivity coatings that bounce away solar radiation. When paired with proper attic ventilation, a metal roof can actually lower attic temperatures by up to 30 °F, helping reduce cooling costs during Jonesborough’s warm summers.
Is a metal roof energy-efficient and environmentally friendly?
Yes. Metal roofing can reflect 25–40 % of solar energy and re-emit most of the heat it does absorb, which can trim summer energy bills by 10–25 %. Metal panels are also 100 % recyclable at the end of their life, and many products contain 25–35 % recycled content to begin with. Because you won’t replace the roof as often, metal significantly reduces landfill waste compared to asphalt shingles.
What maintenance does a metal roof require in the Jonesborough climate?
Maintenance is minimal: (1) rinse or gently wash the surface once or twice a year to remove pollen and debris, (2) keep gutters clear so water can drain freely, (3) inspect exposed fasteners (on screw-down panels) every 10–15 years for re-tightening or replacement, and (4) check sealant around penetrations such as vents every five years. No periodic re-roofing, algae cleaning, or shingle sealing is needed, saving thousands in upkeep over time.
How much does a metal roof cost, and do you offer financing or help with insurance claims?
Installed costs in Jonesborough generally range from $8 to $14 per square foot, depending on panel profile (standing seam vs. exposed fastener), gauge, and roof complexity. While that is higher up front than asphalt shingles, the life-cycle cost is lower because you avoid at least one complete re-roof. We provide free on-site estimates, flexible financing plans with low monthly payments, and expert assistance in documenting storm damage for insurance claims to make the upgrade as affordable as possible.
