FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my roof in Dandridge, TN?
Most asphalt shingle roofs in East Tennessee last 20–25 years, but the harsh sun, high humidity, and occasional hail can shorten that lifespan. Warning signs include curled or missing shingles, granules in the gutters, moss or dark streaks, daylight showing in the attic, and repeated leaks after repairs. If your roof is over 15 years old and showing several of these symptoms, a professional inspection is the safest way to determine whether repair or full replacement is the wiser investment.
What roofing materials do you recommend for homes in the Dandridge climate, and why?
For most Dandridge homeowners we recommend architectural asphalt shingles because they balance cost, durability (30-year rating), and wide color options for curb appeal. Metal roofing is another strong choice in our area—standing-seam panels resist high winds, shed snow easily in winter, and can last 50+ years. If you live near Douglas Lake or in a historic district, we also install designer shingles or synthetic slate to match local aesthetics while providing modern performance. We’ll evaluate your budget, HOA requirements, and energy-efficiency goals to help you choose the best fit.
How long does a typical roof replacement take, and what should I expect during the process?
Most standard single-family roofs in Dandridge are completed in 1–2 days, weather permitting. Day 1 involves material delivery, protective tarping of landscaping, tear-off of the old roofing, inspection of the decking, and installation of underlayment and flashing. Day 2 is usually dedicated to laying shingles or panels, followed by ventilation upgrades and a thorough magnetic nail sweep. We provide daily site clean-up, keep driveways clear in the evenings, and perform a final walk-through with you to ensure satisfaction.
Will a new roof really improve my home’s curb appeal and resale value?
Absolutely. According to the latest Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report for the South Atlantic region, a mid-range asphalt roof replacement recoups roughly 60–70% of its cost at resale, while metal roofing can exceed 70%. Fresh, well-coordinated shingle colors, new ridge vents, and upgraded drip edge give your home a crisp, finished look that appraisers notice. In a lake-centric market like Dandridge, where many buyers are relocating for vacation or retirement homes, that first impression can shorten listing times and boost offers.
Do I need a permit for roof replacement in Dandridge, and do you handle the paperwork?
Yes. Jefferson County Building & Zoning requires a residential roof replacement permit to verify that decking, underlayment, and ventilation meet current code. As a licensed and insured contractor, Curb Appeal Roofing secures the permit, schedules inspections, and provides you with all documentation for your records. You won’t need to visit the county office or pay separate fees—everything is bundled into our proposal.
Can you work with my insurance company or offer financing for my roof replacement?
We do both. If your roof was damaged by wind, hail, or fallen limbs, we’ll document the damage, meet the adjuster on-site, and submit any supplemental paperwork to help maximize your claim. For out-of-pocket projects, we partner with reputable lenders that offer low-interest and zero-interest promotional plans, typically allowing you to spread payments over 12–120 months. Our team can pre-qualify you in minutes with no impact on your credit score, so you can choose the payment option that best fits your budget.
