FAQs
What is a magnetic nail sweep and why is it included with every roof replacement?
After we remove your old shingles, thousands of nails can end up in your grass, flowerbeds, and driveway. Our crew performs a thorough magnetic sweep using industrial-strength rolling magnets to pick up any metal debris. This keeps children, pets, and car tires safe and prevents lawn-mower damage. We perform the sweep at multiple stages of the job—after tear-off, after installation, and during the final walk-through—so your property is as clean as when we arrived.
How long does a roof and gutter replacement project usually take in Collegedale?
Most single-family homes in Collegedale can be completed in one to two days for the roof itself, with gutters added on the same or following day. Larger or more complex roofs, weather delays, or special-order materials can extend the timeline to three to five days. We give you a detailed schedule in advance and provide daily progress updates so you always know what to expect.
What gutter options do you offer, and how do I choose the right one?
We install 5" and 6" seamless aluminum K-style gutters in more than 20 baked-on colors, premium copper gutters, and half-round or box profiles for historic or custom homes. Our consultant measures your roofline, calculates water-flow requirements, and considers tree coverage to recommend the correct size and downspout placement. Optional upgrades include leaf-guard screens and oversized downspouts to handle Collegedale’s heavy spring rains.
Do I need a permit for roof or gutter replacement in Collegedale, and who handles inspections?
Yes. The City of Collegedale requires a building permit for all roof replacements and may require a final inspection. Our office pulls the permit on your behalf, schedules any required city inspections, and provides you with copies for your records. This ensures the work meets local building codes and can speed up insurance approvals if you ever file a claim.
What does a roof and gutter replacement cost, and what factors affect the price?
In Collegedale, a typical asphalt-shingle roof replacement ranges from $4 to $6 per square foot, while metal roofs start around $7 per square foot. Seamless aluminum gutters average $8–$10 per linear foot installed. Costs vary based on roof size and pitch, material selection (architectural shingles vs. metal or specialty shingles), wood-deck repairs, gutter size, and optional upgrades like leaf guards. We provide a free, written estimate that breaks down every line item so there are no surprises.
What warranties and post-installation services do you provide?
You’ll receive a 50-year manufacturer’s warranty on architectural shingles (or 40-year on metal) plus our own 10-year workmanship warranty that covers leaks due to installation errors. Seamless aluminum gutters carry a 20-year material warranty and a 5-year labor warranty. We include a complimentary annual inspection for the first two years, during which we check shingle condition, sealant points, and gutter alignment, and we re-clean your gutters if needed.
