FAQs

How can I tell whether my Hixson home needs a full roof replacement or just repairs?

Common warning signs include curled or missing shingles, granule loss that exposes the shingle mat, frequent interior leaks or stains, sagging roof decking, and mold or moss growth. In Hixson’s climate—hot, humid summers and occasional severe storms—roofs often deteriorate faster than the national average. If your asphalt-shingle roof is 15–20 years old, has widespread damage, or shows multiple signs of failure after a storm, a complete replacement is usually more cost-effective than patch repairs. Our inspectors provide a free, no-obligation assessment so you know exactly which option makes the most sense.

Which roofing materials perform best in Hixson’s weather conditions?

Dimensional asphalt shingles remain the most popular because they balance cost and durability, with 30- to 50-year warranties available. Metal roofing (standing-seam steel or aluminum) is increasingly chosen for its high reflectivity, wind resistance up to 140 mph, and 50+-year life span—ideal for the hail and high winds we sometimes see off Chickamauga Lake. Architectural shingles with algae-resistant copper granules are also smart for our humid environment, helping prevent black streaks. We carry impact-rated shingles (Class 4) that can reduce hail damage and sometimes lower your homeowner’s insurance premiums.

What does a roof replacement typically cost in Hixson and what factors affect the price?

On average, Hixson homeowners pay between $9,000 and $16,000 for a standard 2,000-square-foot asphalt-shingle roof. Price varies with: (1) Material choice—architectural shingles cost more than 3-tab, and metal or designer shingles run higher still; (2) Roof size and pitch—steeper or more complex roofs require extra labor and safety gear; (3) Tear-off and disposal fees—multiple old layers or heavy cedar shakes increase landfill costs; (4) Decking repairs—replacing rotten plywood adds $45–$70 per sheet; (5) Ventilation upgrades—ridge vents or solar fans improve roof life but add to the bid; (6) Permits and code requirements per Hamilton County. We provide a detailed, line-item estimate so you see exactly where your investment goes.

Will my homeowner’s insurance cover a roof replacement in Hixson?

Most policies cover sudden, accidental damage—such as wind, hail, or falling tree limbs—if the roof was in good condition prior to the event. Age-related wear, improper maintenance, or gradual leaks are generally excluded. After a storm, document damage with photos and call your insurer to file a claim quickly; Tennessee law gives you one year in most cases. Our Haag-certified inspectors meet your adjuster on-site, supply a scope of loss, and advocate for all code-required upgrades (ice & water shield, drip edge, etc.). If you only need a partial replacement, we match shingle color as closely as possible to maintain curb appeal.

How long does a roof replacement take and what should I expect during the project?

Most asphalt-shingle roofs in Hixson are completed in one to two days, while metal or specialty roofs may take three to five. We start by protecting landscaping and setting up debris catch tarps. The crew removes old shingles, repairs any damaged decking, installs underlayment and flashing, then lays new shingles or panels. Daily cleanup with magnetic nail sweepers keeps your yard safe. A final walkthrough ensures workmanship meets manufacturer specifications, and you receive a written 10-year labor warranty plus the manufacturer’s material warranty registered in your name.

Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in Hixson, and will you handle the paperwork?

Yes. Hamilton County Building Inspection Department requires a residential re-roof permit to verify that materials and installation meet current codes (2018 IRC with local amendments). Permit fees generally run $50–$150 depending on roof size. Our office pulls the permit, schedules any required mid-roof or final inspections, and posts it on-site so you never have to visit City Hall. When the job is complete, we provide a copy of the passed inspection for your records—useful if you sell your home or need to prove compliance to your insurance carrier.
