FAQs
What is a “no-pressure” roof inspection and how does it work?
A no-pressure inspection means we evaluate your roof without using high-pressure sales tactics or pushing you toward an immediate purchase. One of our certified metal roofing specialists will arrive at your Chattanooga property at the scheduled time, review your roof’s condition inside and out, and document any concerns with photos and notes. When we’re done, we provide you with a clear written report, recommendations, and price options—then leave the decision entirely up to you. Whether you choose to move forward right away, get additional quotes, or wait, you’ll never experience hard-selling from us.
What do you check during a metal roof inspection in Chattanooga?
Our technicians perform a 20-point inspection that includes: • Panel integrity—looking for corrosion, loose fasteners, uplifted seams, or oil-canning. • Flashings and penetrations—examining chimney, vent, and skylight flashings for gaps or sealant failure. • Underlayment condition—verifying that the moisture barrier is intact where accessible. • Gutters and drainage—ensuring water is moving away properly to prevent backup or ice dams. • Attic ventilation—checking intake and exhaust vents for proper airflow and moisture control. • Structural components—assessing decking, trusses, and connection points for signs of rot or movement. • Weather-related damage—identifying hail dents, wind uplift, or tree limb impact that might void warranties.
How much does a metal roof inspection cost, and am I obligated to buy anything?
Standard residential inspections within 35 miles of downtown Chattanooga are free. For commercial buildings or homes outside that radius, we provide a flat travel fee upfront. There is zero obligation to purchase repairs or a new roof. Many customers simply use the report for budgeting or insurance purposes. If you do request a repair or replacement quote, we’ll honor that price for 90 days so you have plenty of time to decide.
Why is metal roofing a smart choice for homes and businesses in the Chattanooga area?
Metal roofs excel in Chattanooga’s hot, humid summers and occasional severe storms. Key benefits include: • Longevity: 40–70-year life expectancy—2-3 times longer than asphalt shingles. • Energy efficiency: Cool-roof coatings reflect radiant heat, reducing attic temperatures and lowering A/C costs up to 25%. • Storm resistance: Interlocking panels withstand winds up to 140 mph and are Class 4 impact-rated for hail. • Fire safety: Metal is non-combustible, an advantage in wooded or wildfire-prone zones around Hamilton County. • Sustainability: Panels are 100% recyclable at end of life and often made with 25–35% recycled content.
If I decide on a new metal roof, how long will installation take?
Most residential installations in the Chattanooga metro area are completed in 2–4 days, depending on roof size, pitch, and any decking repairs required. Commercial or custom architectural projects can take one to two weeks. Our crew removes the old roofing, inspects and repairs decking, installs high-temperature underlayment, and then secures the new standing-seam or metal shingle system. We schedule work around weather forecasts and keep you updated daily.
What warranties or maintenance plans do you offer for metal roofing?
You’ll receive two layers of protection: 1. Manufacturer warranty—35–50 years covering material defects and finish performance (fade and chalk). 2. Our workmanship warranty—15 years covering installation-related issues such as leaks or panel misalignment. After installation, we offer an optional annual maintenance program that includes gutter cleaning, fastener re-torque, sealant touch-ups, and a written condition report. Enrollment in the maintenance plan can extend our workmanship coverage five additional years.
