Asheville Metal Roof Installation Noise Levels: What to Expect
Planning a metal roof installation for your Asheville home? Understanding the noise levels involved during the process can help you prepare effectively. As your neighbors in Western North Carolina, we know that roof installations temporarily disrupt your daily routine. At Lane Roofing and Restoration, we believe in setting realistic expectations about the noise you’ll experience during your metal roofing project. This guide walks you through what to anticipate at each stage, helping you plan accordingly while we work to protect your home with durable, long-lasting metal roofing designed for our unique mountain climate.
Noise Levels During Different Phases of Metal Roof Installation
Preparation and Tear-Off Phase
The initial phase involves removing your existing roof materials, which creates significant noise. Expect hammering, scraping, and the sound of materials being removed and dropped into disposal containers. This is typically the loudest part of the installation process, with noise comparable to construction work. This phase usually lasts 1-2 days for an average Asheville home, depending on your roof size and complexity.
Installation Framework
Once the old roofing is removed, our team installs the framework and underlayment for your new metal roof. This phase involves moderate noise levels from hammering, drilling, and measuring. You’ll hear regular impact sounds as we secure the base structure that will support your metal roofing panels. This phase is less disruptive than the tear-off but still noticeable throughout your home.
Metal Panel Installation
During the metal panel installation, you’ll experience a unique type of noise. As panels are cut to size, you’ll hear the distinctive sound of metal cutting. When panels are secured, expect rhythmic fastening sounds as screws penetrate the metal and attach to the framework below. While not as jarring as demolition noise, this consistent metallic sound can last several days depending on your roof’s complexity and Western North Carolina’s weather conditions.
Finishing Work
The final phase involves installing flashing, ridge caps, and trim pieces. The noise level decreases significantly during this stage, with occasional drilling and fastening sounds. This phase focuses on ensuring your metal roof is properly sealed against Asheville’s variable mountain weather, with special attention to areas vulnerable to our region’s freeze-thaw cycles.
How We Minimize Disruption During Your Metal Roof Installation
At Lane Roofing, we understand that living through a roof installation can be challenging. We take several measures to reduce the impact on your daily life:
We maintain clear communication about our daily work schedule, allowing you to plan quiet activities away from home during the noisiest phases. Our team works efficiently within standard hours (7:00am – 7:00pm weekdays, 9:00am – 5:00pm Saturdays) to limit the duration of disruption. We clean up thoroughly at the end of each workday to minimize the overall inconvenience to your family.
For homes with pets or small children sensitive to noise, we can discuss scheduling options that work best for your family. As your neighbors in Asheville, we prioritize your peace of mind throughout the installation process while ensuring your new metal roof provides the quality protection your home deserves.
Preparing Your Home and Family for Installation Day
To make your metal roof installation as smooth as possible, consider these practical steps: secure loose items on walls as vibrations may cause them to shift, inform neighbors about the upcoming work, arrange alternative workspaces if you work from home, and create a quiet space for pets away from the most affected areas. Remember that while the noise is temporary, the protection your new metal roof provides against Western North Carolina’s harsh weather will benefit your home for decades to come.
