FAQs
How does your transparent estimate process work for roof replacement in Alcoa?
Our process starts with a free on-site inspection, during which we photograph problem areas and measure your roof with aerial and hand tools for accuracy. Within 24–48 hours you receive a digital estimate that itemizes every labor task, material type, quantity, and manufacturer price. We also list taxes, permit fees, disposal charges, and optional upgrades so you see exactly where every dollar goes. Nothing is bundled or hidden, and we encourage you to compare the line items with other bids or ask us to explain any detail before you sign.
What factors influence the cost of a roof replacement in Alcoa?
Several variables affect your final price: roof size and pitch, choice of shingle or metal profile, number of existing layers to remove, sheathing or deck repairs, flashing and ventilation upgrades, local permit fees set by the City of Alcoa, and current material market rates. Because we break these components out separately, you can see how each factor contributes to the total and decide where you might want to invest more (for example, in higher wind-rated shingles) or save (by reusing existing gutters if they are still in good shape).
Do you offer different roofing materials, and how do I choose the right one?
Yes. We install architectural asphalt shingles, designer shingles, standing-seam metal, TPO for low-slope sections, and specialty options like synthetic slate. During the consultation we review your home’s architecture, neighborhood HOA guidelines, energy-efficiency goals, and budget. We bring sample boards so you can see colors in natural light, and we run a quick life-cycle cost comparison that weighs upfront price against expected lifespan and maintenance needs. That way you can make a decision based on long-term value instead of first cost alone.
How long does a typical roof replacement take in Alcoa?
Most single-family homes are completed in one to two days. Day one covers tear-off and deck repairs; day two involves underlayment, shingle or metal installation, flashing, and cleanup. Larger or more complex roofs may require an additional day. Weather in Blount County can cause delays, but we monitor the forecast and schedule work during stable windows. Your estimate includes a projected start and finish date, and we update you immediately if bad weather pushes the timeline.
Are permits and municipal inspections included in the estimate?
Absolutely. The City of Alcoa requires a residential roofing permit and a final inspection. We pull the permit on your behalf, pay the associated fee, and schedule all inspections. These costs and tasks are line-itemed in your estimate so you know they are covered. We also provide the inspector’s approval documentation with your warranty packet once the job is complete.
What warranties and post-installation services do you provide?
You receive a 50-year manufacturer’s material warranty (non-prorated for the first 10 years) on GAF and Owens Corning shingles, a 25- to 40-year finish warranty on metal panels, and our own 10-year workmanship warranty. We perform a complimentary attic ventilation check at year one and a roof maintenance inspection at year five. If any workmanship-related leak occurs within the warranty period, we repair it at no cost and reimburse interior damages per our written guarantee.
