FAQs
How long can I expect a metal roof to last in Jonesborough’s climate?
Properly installed, high-quality steel or aluminum panels routinely last 40–70 years in Jonesborough. Our warm, humid summers, occasional snow, and spring storms do little to shorten that life, because metal resists rot, mildew, and insect damage. Paint or granular coatings carry 25–40-year finish warranties, and the underlying metal often has a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty. With minimal maintenance—periodic debris removal and an inspection every few years—many Jonesborough homeowners never need to replace their metal roof again.
Will a metal roof make my home hotter—or cooler—during East Tennessee summers?
Most modern metal roofing is ENERGY STAR® rated and comes with high-reflectivity pigments that bounce a significant amount of solar radiation away from the roof. Independent studies show a metal roof can reduce peak cooling demand by up to 25 %. In winter, the same panels paired with proper attic insulation retain heat just as well as any other roofing. That means lower utility bills year-round for Jonesborough homeowners.
Are metal roofs noisy when it rains or hails?
Noise is one of the biggest misconceptions. When installed over a solid roof deck with underlayment—and often over your existing shingles—metal roofs are only about 6 dB louder than asphalt, a difference most people cannot detect indoors. Attic insulation further muffles sound. In fact, many clients in Jonesborough report their new metal roof is quieter than their old shingle roof because fasteners eliminate shingle flapping in high winds.
How much more does a metal roof cost compared with traditional asphalt shingles in Jonesborough?
Up-front, a standing-seam or high-quality metal roof typically costs 2–3 × more than a standard architectural shingle roof. The exact price depends on panel profile, gauge, coatings, roof complexity, and removal of old materials. However, because metal lasts two to three times longer, resists storm damage, and can cut energy bills, its lifetime cost is usually lower. Many Jonesborough homeowners also see a 1–6 % increase in resale value and may qualify for insurance discounts due to the roof’s fire and wind resistance.
Can a metal roof handle the high winds, hail, and snow we sometimes get in Washington County?
Yes. Our panels are engineered to meet or exceed the International Residential Code and carry wind-uplift ratings of 120–150 mph, well above the typical gusts recorded in Jonesborough. The interlocking panels shed snow quickly, reducing ice-dam risk, and Class 4 impact-resistant ratings mean the roof can withstand most hailstorms with little to no denting. We also use concealed fasteners and high-strength clips that allow for thermal movement without loosening in severe weather.
Do I have to tear off my existing shingles before installing a metal roof?
In many cases, no. Local code allows a metal roof to be installed over one layer of asphalt shingles, provided the deck is sound and we use the proper synthetic underlayment or purlin system. This saves disposal fees, shortens installation time, and adds another layer of insulation. If you already have two layers of shingles or the decking shows rot, we’ll recommend a full tear-off and deck repair to ensure the new roof’s long-term performance.
