FAQs
What are architectural shingles and why are they a smart choice for homes in Tullahoma?
Architectural, or dimensional, shingles are a high-grade asphalt roofing product made of multiple laminated layers that create a thicker profile than traditional 3-tab shingles. For Tullahoma homeowners, they offer three big advantages: (1) Enhanced durability—multiple layers mean better resistance to the high winds and heavy rains that roll through Middle Tennessee; (2) Improved curb appeal—their varied shapes and shadow lines mimic the look of slate or cedar shakes, boosting home value; and (3) Longer life—most architectural shingles carry 30- to 50-year life expectancies versus 20-25 years for 3-tab alternatives.
How long will an architectural shingle roof last, and what warranties do you provide?
Installed correctly, architectural shingles typically perform for 30 years and often up to 50 years. We are certified by the leading manufacturers, so we can offer their enhanced “System” or “Lifetime” warranties—commonly 30 years on materials and up to 15 years on labor. Because we inspect the roof deck, underlayment, ventilation, and flashing during installation, your manufacturer warranty remains fully intact and is transferable should you sell your Tullahoma home within the warranty period.
Can architectural shingles handle Tullahoma’s weather, including strong winds and hail?
Yes. Quality architectural shingles are tested to withstand winds of 110–130 mph—well above the highest gusts historically recorded in Coffee County. Their heavier weight and interlocking design prevent uplift during the spring storm season. Many shingle lines also carry Class 3 or Class 4 impact ratings, giving them proven resistance to quarter-size hail. When paired with proper roof deck fastening and starter strips, the system meets or exceeds the building codes enforced by the City of Tullahoma.
What does the roof and siding replacement process look like, start to finish?
1. Inspection & Estimate – We perform a no-cost attic and exterior inspection, measure with aerial imaging, and provide a written proposal the same day. 2. Product Selection – You choose shingle style, color, and siding profile (vinyl, fiber-cement, or engineered wood) using full-size samples and digital renderings of your home. 3. Scheduling & Permits – We pull the required Tullahoma building permit and schedule material delivery; most projects begin within two weeks of contract signing. 4. Tear-Off & Prep – Old roofing and siding are removed down to the sheathing; any damaged decking or wall sheathing is replaced. 5. Installation – A typical roof is completed in one day; siding runs 2–4 more days depending on house size. 6. Cleanup & Final Walk-Through – We magnet-sweep the property, remove debris, and review workmanship with you before final payment.
Which siding materials do you install, and how do I choose the best one for my Middle Tennessee home?
We regularly install three siding families: (1) Premium Vinyl—low maintenance, budget-friendly, and available in fade-resistant colors; (2) Fiber-Cement—James Hardie® or equivalent boards that offer exceptional fire and impact resistance along with authentic woodgrain textures; and (3) Engineered Wood—LP® SmartSide® panels and lap siding that combine real-wood appearance with advanced moisture protection. We help you decide by weighing your budget, desired look, HOA requirements, and thermal performance goals. For example, vinyl with insulated backer can reduce heating and cooling costs, while fiber-cement is ideal for high-sun exposures along Highway 55 or Highway 41A.
What will a new architectural shingle roof and siding package cost, and do you offer financing?
Pricing varies with roof square footage, pitch, tear-off layers, siding type, and trim details. In Tullahoma, a typical 2,000-sq-ft home sees roofing costs ranging from $8,500 to $13,000 and siding from $10,000 to $20,000 when using mid-grade products. We provide firm quotes—not estimates—so there are no surprises. For budgeting convenience, we partner with regional lenders to offer low-interest and zero-interest promotional financing, plus deferred-payment plans up to 144 months. All financing can be completed online, and most homeowners receive instant credit decisions.
