FAQs
What roofing materials perform best in Cookeville’s climate?
Cookeville experiences hot, humid summers, occasional hail, and fluctuating winter temperatures, so we recommend architectural asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and high-quality synthetic underlayments. Architectural shingles resist wind uplift up to 130 mph and provide excellent UV protection, while metal panels shed rain quickly and resist hail dents. We also offer impact-rated shingles (Class 4) for added storm resistance. During your on-site visit, we’ll assess roof pitch, ventilation, and budget to help you choose the most durable option.
How can I tell if my roof needs repair or a full replacement?
Warning signs include curled or missing shingles, granule loss visible in gutters, soft spots or sagging decking, interior ceiling stains, and consistently high energy bills due to poor ventilation. If your roof is 15–20 years old or has widespread hail damage, replacement is usually more cost-effective than patch repairs. We provide a free, no-obligation inspection using drone imagery and moisture meters, then explain whether targeted repairs, partial replacement, or a complete reroof is the smartest solution.
Are you licensed, insured, and familiar with Cookeville building codes?
Yes. We hold a Tennessee Contractor’s License (#XXXXXX) and carry $2 million in general liability and full workers’ compensation coverage. Our crews follow the 2024 International Residential Code as adopted by Cookeville’s Building Codes Department, including ice- and water-shield installation at all eaves and valleys. We pull all necessary permits and schedule final inspections with the city, so you never have to worry about code compliance or paperwork.
What does a new roof cost in Cookeville, and what factors affect price?
For a typical 2,000 sq ft home, architectural shingle roofs average $8,000–$12,000, while standing-seam metal ranges from $15,000–$22,000. Price varies with material choice, roof pitch, tear-off layers, decking repairs, and ventilation upgrades. We provide written estimates that list material costs, labor, permits, and sales tax, so you can compare apples to apples. Financing plans with 0% interest for 12 months are available to approved homeowners.
Can you assist with insurance claims for hail or storm damage?
Absolutely. Cookeville sees severe thunderstorms and occasional tornado activity, and navigating claims can be stressful. Our Haag-certified inspectors document damage with photos, thermal imaging, and Xactimate-formatted reports. We meet the adjuster on-site, advocate for all code-required line items, and keep you updated until the claim is settled. Most clients pay only their deductible for covered losses.
How long will the roofing project take, and what should I expect during installation?
Most asphalt shingle reroofs are completed in 1–2 days; metal or specialty systems may take 3–5 days. We deliver materials the evening before, protect landscaping with tarps and the Catch-All netting system, and use a magnetic roller to collect nails daily. A crew leader is on-site at all times to answer questions. Once finished, we register your manufacturer’s warranty and issue our 10-year workmanship guarantee. You’ll receive a close-out package with warranty certificates, final inspection results, and maintenance tips to maximize your roof’s lifespan.
