FAQs
What roofing materials work best for homes in the East Tennessee climate?
In Alcoa and the wider East Tennessee region, we recommend architectural asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal, and impact-rated composite shingles. Architectural asphalt shingles resist high winds, heavy rain, and moderate hail while offering good affordability. Standing-seam metal roofs shed snow quickly, reflect radiant heat, and can last 40–70 years with minimal upkeep—ideal for our humid summers and occasional winter storms. Impact-rated composite shingles cost more up front but provide superior hail and wind resistance. Our team will review your budget, aesthetic goals, and local weather exposures to help you pick the best match.
How can I tell whether I need a roof repair or a full replacement?
Start with a visual check from the ground and attic. Missing, curling, or cracked shingles, widespread granule loss, water stains on interior ceilings, or daylight peeking through roof boards suggest problems. If damage is confined to one or two areas, a repair may be enough. However, if 25–30 % of shingles are compromised, leaks are recurring, or the roof is 15–20 years old, replacement is usually more cost-effective long-term. We offer free roof inspections in Alcoa, use drones for hard-to-see areas, and provide a detailed photo report so you can make an informed decision.
Do you assist with insurance claims for storm damage in Alcoa?
Yes. East Tennessee is no stranger to hail, straight-line winds, and the occasional tornado. Our certified inspectors document damage with high-resolution photos and industry-standard Xactimate estimates. We meet with your adjuster on-site, clarify code requirements, and advocate for full, fair coverage of both roofing and siding. While we cannot negotiate your policy, our documentation and expertise typically speed up approvals and minimize out-of-pocket expenses for our customers.
What siding options are best for Alcoa homes, and how durable are they?
Vinyl, insulated vinyl, and fiber-cement siding are the most popular choices in Alcoa. Standard vinyl is budget-friendly, resists fading, and carries 0.040- to 0.046-inch panel thicknesses rated for 110-mph winds. Insulated vinyl adds a foam backing that increases R-value up to 3.0 and improves impact resistance—perfect for moderate hail. Fiber-cement, such as James Hardie, resembles real wood, withstands 150-mph winds, is non-combustible, and resists moisture-driven expansion and contraction. All options come in a wide array of colors and profiles, and we back them with manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
What warranties do you provide on roofing and siding installations?
Most architectural asphalt shingle manufacturers offer limited lifetime coverage (defined as 40–50 years) against manufacturing defects, plus enhanced wind warranties up to 130 mph when installed with a full system of matching components. Metal roofing panels carry 40- to 45-year finish warranties and 30-year substrate warranties. Vinyl siding is typically covered for life against fading, warping, and cracking; fiber-cement carries 30-year product and 15-year finish warranties. Our workmanship warranty is 10 years on full roof replacements and 5 years on siding installations, ensuring you are protected against installation-related issues.
How much will a new roof or siding project cost, and do you offer financing?
Pricing varies by material, roof pitch, house size, and trim details. In Alcoa, asphalt shingle roofs average $4.00–$6.50 per square foot installed, while standing-seam metal ranges from $8.00–$12.00. Vinyl siding typically runs $6.00–$8.00 per square foot, insulated vinyl $8.00–$11.00, and fiber-cement $10.00–$14.00. We provide a precise written quote after an on-site assessment. For budgeting convenience, we partner with local lenders to offer 12-month same-as-cash plans, low-interest loans up to 120 months, and staged payment schedules that align with project milestones.
