FAQs
What does a “full roof rebuild” involve after storm damage?
A full roof rebuild means we remove every component down to the decking—shingles, underlayment, flashing, vents, drip-edge, and sometimes damaged decking itself—and then install an entirely new system. This allows us to fix hidden structural issues caused by high winds or hail, restore the roof’s water-shedding integrity, and bring your Tullahoma home up to current building codes. The project ends with a complete cleanup and final inspection to verify that your new roof is storm-ready and warrantied.
How can I tell if my Tullahoma home needs a complete replacement rather than spot repairs?
Warning signs include missing shingles in multiple areas, bruised or fractured shingles from hail, widespread granule loss exposing asphalt, leaks in several rooms, sagging roof planes, or daylight showing in the attic. Because our region often experiences tornado-grade wind gusts, even minor exterior damage can mask serious deck or fastener failure underneath. A free, professional inspection with moisture-meter readings and attic assessment is the safest way to know whether repairs will suffice or a rebuild is the more cost-effective long-term solution.
Will my homeowner’s insurance pay for the roof rebuild?
Most policies sold in Tennessee cover “sudden and accidental” damage from wind, hail, or fallen trees. If we confirm storm damage, we document it with photos, measurement reports, and a written scope of work that matches industry estimating software (Xactimate) used by carriers. You pay only your deductible once the claim is approved. We meet the adjuster on-site, help with supplemental paperwork, and bill the insurer directly, so you’re never stuck in the middle of negotiations.
How long does a storm-damage roof rebuild usually take in Tullahoma?
Once materials are on hand and the permit is issued, most single-family homes take 1–3 working days for tear-off, deck repair, installation, and final magnetic cleanup. Larger or more complex roofs, or those needing structural decking replacement, can run 4–6 days. Weather delays are always possible in Middle Tennessee’s spring and fall storm seasons, but we monitor the forecast closely and secure your roof each evening to remain watertight.
What roofing materials hold up best against future storms in the Tullahoma climate?
Architectural asphalt shingles rated for 130-mph wind uplift and Class 3 or 4 impact resistance are the most popular upgrade, providing excellent value and potential insurance discounts. Metal standing-seam roofs offer superior wind resistance and a 40–50-year lifespan. We also install synthetic underlayments, ice-and-water shields in valleys, and high-profile ridge vents to increase ventilation and durability. During your consultation we’ll compare costs, warranties, and performance so you can choose the system that best balances budget and protection.
How should I prepare my property and family for the roof reconstruction process?
Move vehicles, patio furniture, and fragile lawn décor away from the work zone the morning of the project. Remove wall hangings or delicate items in the attic and upper rooms because vibrations from tear-off can shift them. Keep pets indoors or at a neighbor’s to reduce stress and prevent accidents. We’ll place tarps to protect landscaping and magnetic rollers to pick up nails, but trimming bushes back a few inches before we arrive speeds cleanup. Finally, make sure an adult decision-maker is available by phone in case we uncover hidden decking or fascia issues that need your approval.
