FAQs
What premium roofing materials do you offer for homes in Cumberland Gap?
We specialize in high-performance architectural asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal panels, synthetic slate and shake, and true quarried slate. All materials are sourced from top-tier manufacturers such as GAF, CertainTeed, Drexel Metals, and DaVinci. Each option is chosen for its proven durability against the regionâs heavy rains, occasional snow, and intense summer heat.
How does your âRoofing Done Rightâ installation process differ from a standard roof replacement?
Beyond simply nailing on shingles, our process is a complete roofing system approach. We start with a thorough attic and deck inspection, install synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield in all vulnerable areas, use six-nail or screw fastening patterns to exceed 130 mph wind ratings, and custom-fabricate flashing and drip edge on site. Every roof is finished with proper ridge venting and a detailed 40-point quality checklist that is signed off by both the crew leader and the homeowner.
How long can I expect a premium roof to last in the Cumberland Gap climate?
Architectural shingles typically last 25â35 years, premium metal roofs 40â70 years, and synthetic or natural slate 50+ years. Cumberland Gapâs moderate humidity and wide temperature swings can shorten the life of economy-grade roofs, but our premium products combined with correct ventilation help them achieve their full rated lifespan.
Will a premium roof improve my homeâs energy efficiency?
Yes. Cool-pigmented metal panels and reflective shingles reduce heat absorption, while our installation includes continuous ridge ventilation and soffit intake to eliminate trapped attic heat. Homeowners often report a 10â20 % reduction in summer cooling costs after upgrading to a properly vented premium roof.
What warranties do you provide on materials and workmanship?
Manufacturer material warranties range from 30 years to lifetime, depending on the product. Because we are certified installers (GAF Master Elite and Drexel Metals DM-ARM), you receive enhanced non-prorated coverage plus transferable protection. We also back every project with a 10-year workmanship warranty that covers leaks related to our installation at no cost to you.
How quickly can you start my roof, and how long will the project take?
After the initial on-site consultation, most projects are scheduled within 2â3 weeks, depending on material availability. A typical single-family residence takes 1â3 days for asphalt shingles, 3â5 days for metal, and up to a week for slate. We protect landscaping, perform daily clean-ups, and conduct a final magnetic sweep so your property looks better than we found it.
