FAQs
What does your free roof inspection in Vonore include?
Our complimentary inspection is a no-obligation visit by a certified roofing specialist. We start with a thorough exterior walk-around, looking for missing shingles, damaged flashing, storm or hail impact, gutter problems, chimney leaks, and signs of age-related wear. We then inspect the attic (if accessible) to check ventilation, insulation levels, and hidden moisture. You receive a written report with photos, our professional assessment, and clear next-step recommendations—whether that’s simple maintenance, repairs, or a full replacement.
How do I know if I need a roof replacement instead of just repairs?
Several factors help us determine the best course of action. If your roof is 15–25 years old, has widespread shingle granule loss, sagging decking, recurring leaks, or storm damage that covers more than 30% of the surface, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective and reliable than patchwork repairs. During your free inspection we’ll measure the extent of damage, evaluate structural integrity, and outline the comparative long-term costs of repair vs. replacement so you can make an informed decision.
How long does a typical roof replacement take in the Vonore area?
Most single-family homes can be fully replaced in one to two days, assuming weather cooperation and average roof complexity. Larger homes or those with intricate designs, multiple layers of old roofing, or special materials (such as metal panels) may take three to four days. We provide a detailed project timeline before work begins and keep you updated if weather delays arise, which is particularly important in East Tennessee’s variable climate.
What roofing materials do you offer and which is best for my home?
We install architectural asphalt shingles, designer shingles, standing-seam metal, and specialty impact-resistant products. Asphalt architectural shingles remain the most popular in Vonore for their balance of cost, durability (25–30 years), and a wide color palette. Standing-seam metal lasts 40–60 years, offers exceptional energy efficiency, and handles high winds well. Impact-resistant shingles are ideal if your neighborhood sees frequent hail. During the inspection we review your budget, aesthetic preferences, HOA guidelines, and energy-saving goals to recommend the best fit.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of a roof replacement?
If your roof suffered sudden damage from hail, high winds, fallen limbs, or other covered perils, your insurance policy may pay for part or all of the replacement cost (minus your deductible). Normal wear and tear or age-related deterioration is typically excluded. We assist you through the claims process by documenting damage with photos, providing a detailed estimate in Xactimate format (the software used by most insurers), and meeting with the adjuster on-site to ensure nothing is overlooked.
How do you protect my property during the roof replacement process?
Before work begins, we lay out heavy-duty tarps to shield landscaping, flower beds, and outdoor furniture. We use plywood sheets along walls and windows to prevent accidental damage when removing old shingles. A magnetic nail roller is run over your yard, driveway, and flower beds at the end of each workday to capture loose nails or metal debris. Our crew also performs a final walk-through with you to confirm cleanliness and address any concerns before we leave the site.
