Metal roofing in Chattanooga, TN —
put it on once.

The math changes if you are staying.

A shingle roof around here is a 20 to 30 year decision. Metal is a different bracket entirely, with paint warranties running 30 to 50 years. If you plan to be in the house a long time, you are often buying one metal roof instead of two shingle roofs, and that is where the numbers turn.

It also sheds weather better. Rain and hail come off metal rather than working into it, and there is nothing for wind to get under the way it gets under a lifted shingle tab. On the ridges and exposed lots around Chattanooga that matters more than it does down in a sheltered neighbourhood.

• B
  Exposed fastenerScrewed through the panel. Lower cost, very common on outbuildings, shops and barns, and a solid roof when it is installed right.
• C
  Any colour you wantPanels come in the full colour range with long paint warranties, so it can match the house rather than fight it.
