FAQs
How do I know my Chattanooga home really needs a full roof replacement instead of just repairs?
Several signs point toward a full replacement: shingles that are curling, cracked, or missing across large roof sections; widespread granule loss that exposes the fiberglass mat; visible daylight in the attic; sagging roof decking; and recurring leaks even after spot repairs. In the Chattanooga area, hail and wind damage from spring storms can accelerate deterioration. If more than 25–30 % of the roof surface is compromised or the roof is 15–20 years old (10–15 for low-budget 3-tab shingles), replacement is the most cost-effective long-term solution.
What is the average cost of a roof replacement in Chattanooga?
For a typical 2,000 sq ft home, an asphalt shingle roof replacement usually runs $8,000–$14,000, while upgraded architectural or designer shingles range from $12,000–$18,000. Metal standing-seam roofs start around $18,000 and can exceed $30,000 depending on panel profile and roof complexity. Factors that affect price include roof pitch, the number of layers to tear off, decking repairs, ventilation upgrades, and disposal fees. We provide a detailed, itemized quote after an on-site inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
How long will the roof replacement process take?
Most asphalt shingle replacements on average-sized Chattanooga homes are completed in one to two days, weather permitting. Metal or specialty roofs may take three to five days. The timeline includes delivery of materials, tear-off, deck inspection, installation of underlayment and flashing, shingle or panel installation, and a full cleanup with magnetic nail sweep. Permitting and material ordering are handled beforehand so your project is not delayed.
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in Chattanooga?
Yes. The City of Chattanooga requires a Residential Roofing Permit any time the roofing material is removed down to the decking or when new decking is installed. As your contractor, we obtain the permit from the Land Development Office, schedule any required inspections, and post documentation on-site. Permit fees are included in our proposal, and final inspection confirmation is provided for your records and insurance company.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of a new roof?
Insurance may cover a replacement if the roof was damaged by a covered peril such as wind, hail, or falling debris. Normal aging or lack of maintenance is not covered. After a severe storm, we can perform a free inspection, document damage with photos, and guide you through filing a claim. We meet with the adjuster on-site to ensure all storm-related items are included. Once the claim is approved, you are typically responsible only for your deductible.
What warranties come with a new roof?
You receive two layers of protection. First, a manufacturer’s material warranty (usually 30 years to lifetime on asphalt shingles and 40–50 years on metal) covers defects in the roofing products. Because we are certified installers with major manufacturers, we can offer upgraded "System" or "Enhanced" warranties that include labor and are non-prorated for 20–50 years. Second, our own workmanship warranty guarantees installation quality for 5–10 years. If any leak is caused by our workmanship within that period, we repair it at no cost.
