FAQs
What are weather-rated roofing and siding materials, and why are they important in Lenoir City?
Weather-rated products are roofing shingles, metal panels, and siding boards that have been laboratory-tested for wind uplift, impact, water penetration, and thermal cycling. Because Lenoir City sees humid summers, occasional hail, and sharp winter temperature swings, these certified materials resist cracking, swelling, and blow-off far better than conventional options. The result is fewer repairs, lower insurance claims, and longer service life.
How well do your roofs handle the high winds and hail that strike East Tennessee?
Our preferred asphalt shingles carry a 130-mph wind warranty and a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest in the industry—while our standing-seam metal panels are mechanically seamed to withstand gusts over 150 mph. In field tests and real storms, these systems resist shingle loss, punctures, and ridge lift, protecting the roof deck and attic from water intrusion even after repeated hail hits.
Will weather-rated siding and roofing improve my home’s energy efficiency?
Yes. Reflective metal roofing coatings bounce away up to 70 % of solar heat, reducing attic temperatures and cutting summer cooling costs. Insulated vinyl or fiber-cement siding adds an R-value boost that plugs thermal gaps in wall cavities. Together with proper attic ventilation, homeowners typically see 10–25 % lower annual HVAC expenses.
How long does installation take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A typical single-family reroof averages two to three days, while a full siding replacement takes five to seven. Our crews arrive after 8 a.m., use landscape-protecting tarps, and perform a magnetic nail sweep each evening so you can safely access driveways and entry doors. Power and water remain on, and you can stay in the home throughout the project.
What warranties and maintenance requirements come with these products?
Manufacturer warranties run 30 years to lifetime on shingles, 40–50 years on metal roofing finishes, and up to 30 years on premium vinyl or fiber-cement siding color. We add a 5-year workmanship guarantee that covers installation-related leaks. Maintenance is minimal: an annual roof inspection, gutter cleaning, and an occasional low-pressure wash for siding are all that’s needed to keep the warranties valid.
Do you offer help with financing or insurance claims for weather-rated upgrades?
Yes. We partner with local lenders to provide zero-down, low-interest financing plans ranging from 12 to 120 months. If your roof or siding was storm-damaged, our in-house claims specialist will document the loss, meet the adjuster onsite, and handle paperwork at no extra charge, ensuring you receive the full benefit you’re entitled to.
