FAQs
What kind of background checks and training do your roof-repair technicians undergo?
Every technician we send to a Cookeville home passes a multi-state criminal background check, a motor-vehicle record review, and a pre-employment drug test. Once hired, they complete OSHA 10-hour safety certification, manufacturer-specific installation courses (GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning), and annual refreshers on fall protection and ladder safety. You can feel confident that the person on your roof is fully vetted, insured, and up to date on best practices.
What are the most common signs my Cookeville roof needs repair and how quickly should I act?
Key warning signs include water stains on ceilings or walls, missing or curled shingles, granules in gutters, daylight visible in the attic, sagging roof decking, and sudden spikes in energy bills. In our humid Middle Tennessee climate, these issues can escalate fast, so we recommend scheduling an inspection within 24–48 hours of noticing a problem to prevent additional water damage or mold growth.
What is your step-by-step repair process once I request service?
1) Free on-site inspection: A technician photographs damage and explains findings. 2) Written estimate: You receive a clear scope of work, material list, and fixed price. 3) Schedule & permits: We pull any required city permits and set a repair date that fits your calendar—often within 72 hours. 4) Repair day: Crews protect landscaping, remove damaged materials, install new components, and seal all penetrations. 5) Final inspection & cleanup: A supervisor verifies workmanship, nails are magnet-swept from the yard, and debris is hauled away. 6) Documentation: You receive before-and-after photos and all warranty paperwork.
Can you match my existing shingles or repair specialty roofing materials?
Yes. We stock a wide range of asphalt shingle colors used throughout Putnam County and have supplier partnerships that allow next-day delivery of metal panels, cedar shakes, and low-slope membranes. If an exact color match isn’t available (common with older shingles), we blend new shingles in a pattern that minimizes visual differences. Our technicians are factory-trained to work on asphalt, standing-seam metal, TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen roofs.
Do you assist with insurance claims for storm or wind damage?
Absolutely. We offer free storm-damage inspections and provide a detailed report with photos you can submit to your carrier. If requested, our insurance liaison will meet the adjuster on-site to ensure all damage is documented. We use Xactimate estimating software—the same system most insurers use—to speed approval and keep your out-of-pocket costs to a minimum.
What warranties and guarantees come with your roof repairs?
All repair work includes a 2-year labor warranty covering workmanship issues such as leaks around flashing or improperly sealed shingles. Materials carry the manufacturer’s warranty, which ranges from 10 years on basic shingles to lifetime on premium products. Because we are a GAF Certified™ contractor, qualifying repairs that incorporate GAF components can be upgraded to a 50-year transferable warranty for a small fee. In addition, we provide a 100% satisfaction guarantee—if you’re not happy with the repair, we’ll return and make it right at no additional cost.
