FAQs
How can I tell whether my Cookeville home needs a full roof replacement or just a repair?
Warning signs include shingles that are curling, cracked, or missing, frequent leaks after storms, granules collecting in gutters, soft or sagging decking, and visible daylight in the attic. In Cookeville’s hail- and wind-prone climate, a professional inspection every 1-2 years is the best way to decide. During our free assessment, Curb Appeal Roofing photographs trouble spots, checks ventilation and decking, and gives you an honest recommendation on repair versus replacement based on remaining shingle life, cost, and long-term protection.
Which roofing materials offer the best curb appeal and performance for Cookeville’s weather?
Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most popular because they come in rich, dimensional colors that boost curb appeal and are rated for 130 mph winds common in Middle Tennessee. Metal roofing (standing-seam steel or aluminum) delivers a sleek look, a 40-70-year lifespan, and excellent resistance to hail and wildfire embers. Designer composite shingles mimic slate or shake without the weight. For historic districts, synthetic cedar is HOA-friendly and resists moisture in our humid summers. During your consultation we show side-by-side samples, discuss energy-efficient options with cool-roof pigments, and help you choose a style that matches your home and budget.
How long will a roof replacement take and will I have to leave my house?
Most Cookeville single-family homes are finished in 1–2 days; large or complex roofs may take 3–4. We start by protecting landscaping and setting up dumpsters, then remove old shingles, inspect decking, install underlayment/ice-shield, flashings, and the new roof system. You can stay home throughout—power, water, and HVAC remain on—but expect some daytime noise and vibrations. We sweep for nails with magnets each evening and perform a final walk-through to ensure the jobsite is spotless.
Will a new roof actually raise my home’s resale value and lower energy bills?
Yes. National real-estate reports show that a quality roof replacement recoups 60-70 % of its cost at resale, and homes with fresh roofing sell faster because buyers avoid the risk of future leaks. In Cookeville’s hot summers, modern reflective shingles and proper attic ventilation can cut cooling costs by 10-15 %. A tight roofing system also prevents moisture buildup that strains HVAC equipment and insulation. Curb Appeal Roofing installs ridge vents, intake vents, and radiant-barrier underlayments to maximize efficiency and extend shingle warranties.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Cookeville, and who handles the paperwork?
Yes. The City of Cookeville Building Codes Department requires a residential reroof permit to ensure the work meets the 2018 International Residential Code. Curb Appeal Roofing pulls the permit for you, schedules required inspections, and provides you with the final approval paperwork for your records. Our crews follow all city guidelines on sheathing repairs, drip edge, flashing, and ventilation so you pass the inspection the first time.
How does the insurance claim process work for storm-damaged roofs, and can you help?
After a wind or hail event, you should (1) document damage with photos, (2) call your insurer to open a claim, and (3) schedule a professional inspection. Curb Appeal Roofing meets the adjuster on-site, points out hidden damage, and supplies a detailed Xactimate estimate so you receive a fair payout. Once approved, we replace the roof for the insurance scope amount (minus your deductible), handle any supplement requests for code upgrades, and submit completion paperwork to your carrier so you can receive depreciation hold-back funds promptly.
