What our customers say
FAQs
What roofing materials perform best in Cookeville’s climate?
Cookeville experiences hot, humid summers, occasional severe storms, and mild to cold winters, so durability and heat reflection are key. Architectural asphalt shingles are the most popular because they withstand wind gusts up to 130 mph and have algae-resistant granules for our humid conditions. Metal roofing—usually standing-seam steel or aluminum—has excellent hail impact ratings and reflects solar heat, lowering cooling costs. For a premium option, synthetic slate or shake also handles temperature swings well while offering a high-end look. We’ll review your budget, aesthetic goals, and energy-efficiency needs to recommend the ideal material.
How long does a typical roof replacement take in Cookeville?
Most single-family homes require 1–3 working days once materials are on-site, weather permitting. Day 1 covers tear-off and decking inspection. Day 2 is usually underlayment, flashing, and the bulk of shingle or panel installation. Larger or more complex roofs, extensive decking repairs, or metal systems may extend to a third day. We schedule projects during stable weather windows and provide daily progress updates so you know exactly where we stand.
Do I need a permit to replace or repair my roof in Cookeville?
Yes. The City of Cookeville Building Codes Department requires a permit for roof replacements and for repairs exceeding 100 sq ft or involving structural changes. As a licensed roofing contractor, we pull the necessary permits, coordinate required inspections, and ensure your project complies with the current International Residential Code (IRC) adopted by the city. You don’t have to handle any paperwork—just sign the permit application we prepare.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm damage to my roof?
If your roof sustains damage from a covered peril—such as wind, hail, or falling debris—your policy typically pays to repair or replace the affected sections minus your deductible. After any major storm we offer a free, no-obligation inspection. If we document damage, we’ll help you file the claim, meet with the adjuster on-site, and provide the detailed estimate the insurer needs. Remember that insurance usually does not cover maintenance-related issues or wear and tear, so prompt inspections are essential.
How much does a new roof cost in Cookeville?
Pricing depends on roof size, pitch, material, and any decking or ventilation upgrades. As a 2024 benchmark, architectural shingles average $4.25–$6.00 per square foot installed, while standing-seam metal runs $7.50–$10.50. A 2,000 sq ft roof could range from about $8,500 for basic shingles to $20,000+ for premium metal or synthetic products. We provide a written, line-item estimate after an on-site measurement so you know exactly what’s included—materials, labor, permits, and debris removal—with no hidden fees.
How can I extend the life of my new roof?
Routine maintenance is the key. Schedule a professional inspection every spring and fall to catch minor issues before they escalate. Keep gutters clean so water can drain properly and trim overhanging branches to prevent abrasion and moss growth. After severe weather, have us perform a quick check for lifted shingles or punctures. Finally, ensure attic ventilation and insulation are adequate; balanced airflow prevents heat and moisture buildup, which can prematurely age shingles and decking.
