FAQs
How can I tell if my asphalt shingles in Apison need repair rather than full replacement?
Warning signs include curled or cracked shingle tabs, missing granules that expose the black asphalt layer, isolated leaks in the attic after rain, or a few loose or missing shingles after a storm. If the roof is under 15–20 years old and the damage is confined to specific areas, repair is usually sufficient. A free on-site inspection by our Apison roofing team can confirm whether a targeted repair will restore full protection.
Can you match the color and style of my existing shingles?
Yes. We carry most major manufacturers’ 3-tab and architectural shingles stocked by local Chattanooga-area distributors. During the inspection we take a sample of your existing material, locate the closest match, and order from the same production batch whenever possible to minimize color variation. For discontinued colors, we recommend replacing shingles along a natural break (ridge, hip, or valley) so the new section blends in seamlessly.
What does a typical shingle repair service include for Apison homeowners?
1) Thorough roof and attic inspection, with photos. 2) Removal of damaged shingles and underlayment. 3) Decking check for rot; small plywood patches if needed. 4) Installation of ice- & water-shield or synthetic underlayment. 5) Installation of matching shingles with six-nail fastening, meeting Tennessee wind-zone specs. 6) Resealing of flashing and exposed nail heads. 7) Debris cleanup and magnet sweep for stray nails. 8) Final walk-through and written workmanship warranty.
How long will the repair take and will I need to leave my home?
Most shingle repairs involving fewer than 100 square feet are completed in one day. Larger sections or steep/complex roofs may require an additional day, but you can stay in your home throughout the process. We schedule work between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., keep driveways clear after hours, and perform a full cleanup each evening so you have safe access.
Are permits or inspections required for shingle repairs in Apison, TN?
For minor repairs that do not alter the roof’s structural components, the Hamilton County Building Inspection Department does not require a permit. If more than 25 percent of the roof surface is replaced within a 12-month period or if new decking is installed, a reroof permit and final inspection are mandatory. Our office handles all permitting and provides you with copies for your records.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of shingle repair?
If the damage is the result of a sudden, covered peril—such as wind, hail, or falling limbs—most policies pay for repair minus your deductible. Age-related wear, poor maintenance, or gradual leaks are typically excluded. We can provide photo documentation and meet your adjuster on site to streamline the claim. If the claim is denied, we offer affordable financing plans to spread the cost over manageable monthly payments.
