FAQs
What qualifies as “storm-rated” roofing material and why is it important in Evensville?
A product is considered storm-rated when it meets or exceeds laboratory tests for high-wind uplift (ASTM D3161 or FM 4473), impact resistance (UL 2218 Class 3 or 4), and water-shedding performance. In Evensville, spring hail, straight-line winds, and the occasional tornado put conventional shingles at risk of cracking or blowing off. Storm-rated shingles, metal panels, and synthetic tiles are engineered to withstand winds up to 130–150 mph and resist 2-inch hail, reducing the chance you will need emergency repairs after every severe cell that rolls through the Sequatchie Valley.
How quickly can you respond after a storm hits my Evensville home?
We monitor National Weather Service alerts for Rhea County. When a warning is issued, our on-call crews are pre-staged with tarps, plywood, and fall-protection gear. In most cases we can be onsite within 2–4 hours of an all-clear to perform a free damage inspection, photograph affected areas for insurance documentation, and install temporary coverings to stop active leaks the same day.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm damage restoration, and how do you assist with the claim?
If the damage was caused by a named peril—wind, hail, or falling debris—most standard HO-3 and HO-5 policies cover the cost of restoring your roof to its pre-loss condition, minus your deductible. Our certified inspectors prepare a detailed Xactimate estimate, meet the adjuster onsite to point out hidden structural or decking issues, and handle any supplemental paperwork. More than 80 % of our Evensville customers see the full roof approved on the first inspection because the scope and pricing already align with insurer guidelines.
Can you match my existing roof style when installing storm-rated materials?
Yes. Storm-rated options now come in architectural laminate shingles, stone-coated steel that mimics wood shakes, standing-seam metal, and polymer slate tiles. During your consultation we bring full-size samples and drone imagery to show how each profile will look on the slope, letting you keep your home’s aesthetic while dramatically increasing impact and wind resistance.
How long does a typical storm damage roof replacement take in Evensville?
For a 25- to 35-square single-family residence, tear-off and installation of new underlayment, flashings, and storm-rated shingles generally takes one to two days, weather permitting. Metal and specialty systems may take three to four days because panels or accessories are custom-fabricated. We obtain any required Rhea County permits, schedule mid-roof and final inspections, and haul away all debris before we consider the job complete.
What warranties and maintenance requirements come with your storm-rated roofing systems?
Manufacturers back Class-4 asphalt shingles with 30- to 50-year limited lifetime warranties and wind guarantees up to 130 mph when installed by a certified contractor like us. Steel and aluminum systems carry 40- to 50-year finish warranties and transferable impact warranties. We add a 5-year workmanship warranty that covers installation-related leaks. Annual maintenance is simple: a visual check after major storms, removal of branches or moss, and re-sealing of exposed fasteners on metal roofs every 10–12 years.
