FAQs
What are the most common reasons shingles go missing on roofs in Dandridge?
High winds coming off Douglas Lake, sudden thunderstorms, and occasional hail are the leading weather-related causes. Age-weakened shingles can also detach during the temperature swings we see in East Tennessee. Improper installation—such as nails driven too high or too few fasteners—often shows up years later as loose or missing tabs.
How quickly should I address a missing shingle problem?
Immediately. Even a single missing shingle exposes the underlayment and decking to moisture. In our humid climate, that can translate into wood rot, mold growth, and interior leaks within weeks. A prompt repair is far less expensive than replacing decking or dealing with ceiling stains later.
Will my homeowners insurance cover the cost of replacing missing shingles?
Most Dandridge homeowners policies cover sudden, storm-related damage. If wind or hail caused the loss, you can usually file a claim—subject to your deductible. Wear-and-tear or age-related failures are typically excluded. We provide photo documentation and assist with adjuster meetings to help streamline the claims process.
Can you match replacement shingles to my existing roof?
Yes. We maintain relationships with local supply yards in Jefferson County and can usually source the exact brand, color, and profile—especially for roofs under 15 years old. If the original shingle is discontinued, we’ll locate the closest match or suggest a hidden repair option to keep curb appeal intact.
How does Dandridge’s climate affect the lifespan of repaired areas?
Our mix of hot, sunny summers and freeze-thaw winters can stress roofing materials. A properly installed replacement shingle, however, will perform just as long as the surrounding roof section—often 10–15 more years—because we seal, nail, and align it to manufacturer specs and local wind-uplift codes.
What is your process and typical cost for fixing missing shingles?
We start with a free on-site inspection, including attic moisture checks. For one to five missing shingles, most repairs run $175–$350, covering materials, labor, and a workmanship warranty. Larger sections require a square-rate estimate. We photograph each step and leave you with a written report for your records.
