FAQs
What premium roofing materials do you offer in Greenback?
We specialize in high-performance architectural asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal panels, synthetic slate, and natural cedar shakes. Every product line we carry is UL-Class A fire-rated, meets or exceeds ASTM wind‐uplift standards for East Tennessee’s severe storms, and is backed by manufacturer warranties of 30 years to limited lifetime.
How does your “Roofing Done Right” process ensure quality workmanship?
Our crews are factory-trained and OSHA-certified. We follow a 42-point installation checklist that covers decking inspection, underlayment selection, proper flashing and ventilation, and post-install cleanup. Each project is supervised by a dedicated site manager who conducts daily photo documentation, and the final roof is inspected by both our in-house quality team and the material manufacturer, so you receive dual certification of compliance.
What warranty protection comes with a premium materials roof?
You receive a two-tiered warranty: (1) a manufacturer’s non-prorated material warranty of 30–50 years (depending on the product) that covers defects, and (2) our 15-year transferable workmanship warranty that protects against installation-related leaks. Registering the warranty is handled by our office, and you’ll get documentation within 10 business days of project completion.
How long will my roof replacement take and what can affect the schedule?
Most residential projects in Greenback are completed in 1–3 days. Larger homes, complex rooflines, or specialty materials like synthetic slate can extend the timeline to 4–5 days. Weather delays, unexpected deck repairs, or custom metal fabrication may also add time, but we provide daily updates and a revised completion estimate whenever conditions change.
Will premium roofing materials improve energy efficiency and comfort?
Yes. Our metal panels feature Kynar® 500 reflective coatings that can lower attic temperatures by up to 25 °F in summer, while laminated shingles with Cool Roof granules reflect UV rays and meet ENERGY STAR® requirements. Improved attic ventilation systems installed with every roof further reduce heat buildup and moisture, leading to lower HVAC loads and potential energy savings of 10–15 % annually.
How much more do premium roofs cost, and do they add resale value?
Premium materials typically cost 20–50 % more than standard three-tab shingles, averaging $6–$12 per square foot installed. However, they also last 1.5–3 times longer and can boost curb appeal and appraised home value. National Association of Realtors studies show homeowners recoup 60–70 % of a premium roof’s cost at resale, and listings with upgraded roofs in Blount County often sell faster than comparable homes with basic shingles.
