FAQs
What does “Manufacturer Specs Roofing – Roofing Done Right” mean for homeowners in Cowan?
It means every component of your new roof—from shingles and underlayment to flashing and ventilation—is installed exactly as the product manufacturer prescribes. Matching the manufacturer’s written specifications protects material warranties, ensures peak performance in Cowan’s hot summers and occasional severe storms, and complies with Tennessee building codes.
Why is following the manufacturer’s specifications so important for my roof warranty?
Major roofing brands (GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, etc.) make their coverage conditional on proper installation. If a contractor cuts corners—using too few nails, omitting starter strips, or mis-spacing fasteners—the warranty can be voided. By adhering to the published specs, we keep your full material warranty (often 25–50 years) intact and add our own workmanship guarantee on top.
How do you verify that my roof in Cowan is installed to spec?
Our crews use manufacturer-approved checklists at each stage of installation. A project manager photographs critical steps (deck inspection, underlayment, ice-and-water shield, nailing patterns, ridge vent installation) and files them in your job folder. Upon completion, you receive a digital report and the manufacturer’s registration confirming that the roof meets or exceeds spec.
Will a spec-compliant roof cost more than a standard installation?
Not necessarily. The biggest difference is quality control, not a big price jump. You might pay a small premium for upgraded components the manufacturer recommends (e.g., high-temperature ice shield or matching hip/ridge caps), but these usually add only 3–5 % to the project cost while extending roof life and preventing costly repairs down the road.
How long does a typical manufacturer-spec roof replacement take in Cowan?
Most single-family homes are completed in one to two days, weather permitting. Because we follow spec, we stage materials efficiently, use larger crews, and schedule final inspections the same day. Complex roofs with multiple valleys or specialty materials (metal, designer shingles) can take an extra day but still finish within the week.
Do you handle the paperwork with the shingle manufacturer and the City of Cowan?
Yes. We register your roof with the manufacturer for enhanced warranty coverage and file all required permits with Cowan’s building department. After the city inspection, we provide you a packet containing the permit sign-off, manufacturer registration, and our workmanship warranty—so everything is documented for future home sales or insurance claims.
