FAQ on Metal Siding & Roof Repair
How long does a metal roof last?
A properly installed metal roofing system from METALLICUM ROOFING can last 40-70 years, depending on the material and environment. It is a permanent steel roof solution with a lifespan two to three times longer than traditional asphalt shingles.
Is metal roofing noisier during rain or hail?
No. When installed correctly over solid decking and proper insulation, a metal roof is no noisier than any other roofing material. Our roofing install process includes sound-deadening techniques to ensure a quiet interior.
Can you install a metal roof over my existing shingles?
In many cases, yes. We can often install new roof panels over an existing layer, saving on tear-off costs. However, we always conduct a thorough inspection first to ensure the underlying structure is sound and suitable for this method as part of our roofing service.
Do you offer repair services for existing metal roofs?
Absolutely. Our comprehensive roof repair services specialize in fixing leaks, repairing damaged steel sheets, re-sealing seams, and replacing individual roof panels on existing metal roofing systems to restore their integrity and longevity.
What is the difference between metal siding and metal cladding?
While often used interchangeably, metal siding typically refers to wall panels used for residential or light commercial exteriors. Metal cladding is a broader term that can include siding but also encompasses sophisticated rain-screen and architectural panel systems for commercial exterior systems, often offering enhanced thermal and moisture management.
