Metal Roofing, Brookhaven & Jackson, MS

A common misconception is that metal roofs are loud during storms. In reality, when installed over a solid deck with proper insulation—as T-Rob Roofing and Painting always does—metal roofs are no noisier than traditional shingles. The underlayment and attic insulation absorb most of the sound. In fact, many homeowners report that the noise is barely noticeable. If you're upgrading from an older roof with poor insulation, the difference might be more noticeable, but it can always be mitigated during installation.

Actually, metal roofs reflect solar radiant heat, reducing cooling costs by 10–25%. This is especially beneficial in the hot Mississippi climate. T-Rob Roofing uses coatings and finishes that further improve reflectivity, helping keep attic temperatures lower than with asphalt shingles. It’s a smart investment for long-term energy efficiency. Plus, metal roofs cool down faster after sunset, unlike asphalt which retains heat into the night.

While asphalt shingles typically last 15–20 years, metal roofs can last 40–70 years depending on the material and maintenance. With T-Rob Roofing's expert installation and use of quality materials, your roof will resist rust, corrosion, and harsh Mississippi weather. Longevity is one of the biggest benefits of metal roofing, often justifying the higher initial investment by eliminating the need for frequent replacement.

Metal roofs are extremely low-maintenance. You should inspect them annually and after major storms, but they generally require less upkeep than shingle roofs. T-Rob Roofing offers guidance on what to look for, such as loose fasteners, debris accumulation, or sealant wear. We also offer maintenance plans for peace of mind. Regular checks ensure your roof performs optimally for decades.

In many cases, yes. Installing metal roofing over shingles can reduce tear-off costs and shorten installation time. However, T-Rob Roofing first evaluates your existing roof’s condition, structure, and ventilation. If there's rot, sagging, or multiple layers of shingles, a full tear-off may be recommended. We prioritize safety, long-term performance, and compliance with local building codes.

Yes. Metal roofs do not increase the risk of a lightning strike. If lightning does strike, the metal safely disperses the energy through the structure to the ground. Unlike flammable materials, metal won't ignite, making it actually safer. T-Rob Roofing ensures all installations are grounded where necessary and comply with safety regulations—perfect for Mississippi’s storm-prone seasons.

Absolutely. A professionally installed metal roof can boost your home’s resale value due to its longevity, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. In areas like Brookhaven and Jackson, MS, where weather resistance is crucial, buyers appreciate the durability. Many real estate agents note metal roofs as a selling feature. T-Rob Roofing’s installations are not only functional but visually appealing, which adds significant value.

Modern metal roofs are engineered to resist rust and corrosion, especially when coated properly. T-Rob Roofing uses high-quality, galvanized or Galvalume-coated panels, often finished with baked-on paint that protects against humidity, salt, and acidic rain. As long as the roof is maintained and scratches are addressed, rust is highly unlikely. Our materials come with long-term warranties for added assurance.

Yes, properly installed metal roofing can withstand wind speeds up to 140 mph or more—ideal for the storms common in Mississippi. T-Rob Roofing uses concealed fasteners and secure installation techniques to ensure your roof is wind-resistant. We follow or exceed local wind code requirements, giving homeowners peace of mind even in hurricane-prone conditions.

Unlike wood shingles or tiles, metal roofs do not attract termites, carpenter ants, or rodents. They provide no food source or nesting space, making them naturally pest-resistant. At T-Rob Roofing, we ensure all seams and gaps are tightly sealed to eliminate entry points, further deterring critters. This benefit isn’t always obvious to homeowners but contributes to long-term peace of mind.
