James A.

Due to a miscommunication I need to apologize for a negative review I left. Hep didn't call codes, but I imagine that codes inspector is working himself to the bone, and instead of hearing "rough-in inspection" I heard "complaint" and I am so very sorry I was so reactive. It's been over a year since the work was done and we've had zero leaks! Job well done y'all!

FAQs

What roofing materials perform best in Chattanooga’s climate?

Chattanooga experiences hot, humid summers, moderate winters, and frequent thunderstorms. Because of this, asphalt architectural shingles and metal roofing are the most popular choices. Architectural shingles resist wind uplift up to 130 mph and have algae-resistant coatings for our humid conditions. Standing-seam metal roofs shed heavy rain quickly, tolerate large temperature swings, and can last 40–60 years with minimal maintenance. For flat or low-slope sections, TPO and modified bitumen membranes stand up well to the region’s UV exposure and high rainfall.

How long should my new roof last in Chattanooga?

Life span depends on material, installation quality, ventilation, and maintenance. Expect 20–25 years from 3-tab asphalt shingles, 30–35 years from architectural shingles, and 40–60 years from standing-seam metal. Tile and slate can exceed 75 years, but they’re less common locally due to higher cost and structural weight. Regular inspections after severe storms, cleaning gutters, and keeping attic ventilation unobstructed can add up to 5 extra years to any roof.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Chattanooga or Hamilton County?

Yes. The City of Chattanooga and Hamilton County require a building permit for complete roof replacement or structural repairs. A licensed roofing contractor will submit the permit application, which includes material specifications and proof of insurance. Simple repairs covering less than one square (100 sq ft) of roofing usually do not require a permit, but always verify with the local Building Inspection office at (423) 643-5800 to avoid fines.

How quickly can you respond to storm or hail damage?

We provide 24/7 emergency tarping and can usually be on-site within 2–4 hours of your call anywhere in the Greater Chattanooga area. After securing the roof, we perform a free damage assessment, document hail impacts or wind uplift with photos and drone footage, and prepare an itemized repair estimate within 24 hours so you can submit it to your insurance carrier promptly.

Will you work directly with my insurance company on a roof claim?

Absolutely. Once you file the claim, we meet the adjuster on-site, provide detailed inspection reports, and use the same Xactimate estimating software most insurers rely on. This ensures you receive full coverage for code-required items such as drip edge and ice-and-water shield, as well as local permitting fees. We can also handle supplemental claims if hidden damage is discovered during the project.

How much does a new roof cost in Chattanooga?

Costs vary by material, roof complexity, and labor. As a general guide in 2024: 3-tab asphalt shingle replacement runs $3.25–$3.75 per square foot, architectural shingles $4.25–$5.50, and standing-seam metal $7.50–$10.00. A typical 2,000 sq ft roof with architectural shingles would be $8,500–$11,000, including tear-off, disposal, permits, and a 10-year workmanship warranty. Exact pricing requires an on-site measurement and evaluation of decking, flashing, and ventilation needs, which we provide free of charge.
