Metal Roofing & Architectural Sheet Metal FAQ

Have questions about metal roofs or custom sheet metal work? These answers will help you make informed decisions about your project.

FAQs

Will an aluminum roof hold up in coastal regions? 

Yes. Aluminum is the ideal roofing substrate for coastal environments since it is naturally rust-proof and can handle the strong salt sprays. 

Will a metal roof protect my home from wildfires and Santa Ana winds? 

Yes. As a non-combustible material, metal is ideal for fire protection. Class A fire-rated roof assemblies are designed to resist ignition from airborne embers. Interlocking panels and robust fastening methods give our roofs an extremely high wind-uplift rating. 

Do your metal roofs come with a warranty? 

Yes. Alpha Metal Systems offers a dual-layer metal roof warranty: the manufacturer covers material and finish quality, while our in-house warranty ensures expert installation and long-term performance.

Is a metal roof noisy when it rains? 

No. This is a common myth based on outdated tin roof installations. Modern metal roofs are installed over a solid deck with underlayment and attic insulation, making them no louder in the rain than a typical asphalt roof.

What type of architectural sheet metal work do you specialize in?

We specialize in custom residential architectural sheet metal, including metal fascia wraps, chimney caps, wall coping, metal wall paneling, and decorative cladding.
