FAQs
How do I know if my Decherd home needs a full roof replacement rather than a repair?
Several warning signs point to the need for a complete replacement: shingles that are curling, cupping, missing, or have lost most of their granules; widespread leaks or water stains inside the attic; sagging roof decking; mold or rot around roof penetrations; and roofs that are 20-25 years old (or 15-20 years if installed over an existing layer). In Franklin County, strong summer storms and the occasional winter ice event accelerate aging, so we start with a free inspection and moisture scan to determine whether a repair or full replacement is the most cost-effective solution.
What roofing materials do you recommend for homes in Franklin County's climate?
Asphalt architectural shingles remain the most popular because they balance cost, durability (25–30 years), and a wide color range. Metal roofing—especially standing-seam steel or aluminum—offers 40-plus years of service life, excellent hail resistance, and lower cooling bills by reflecting solar heat, which is useful in Decherd’s hot, humid summers. For historic homes, designer synthetic slate or shake can provide the classic look with less weight and maintenance. We walk you through wind-resistance ratings, fire classifications, and energy-efficiency data during the estimate.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Decherd, and what factors affect the price?
Most asphalt shingle replacements in the Decherd area range from $7,500 to $14,000 for an average 2,000-square-foot roof. Metal starts around $15,000 and can exceed $25,000 depending on profile and gauge. Key cost drivers include roof size and pitch, number of layers to remove, decking repairs, material type, ventilation upgrades, and disposal fees. We provide a line-item proposal so you can see exactly where each dollar goes, and we never invoice more than the agreed quote unless hidden structural issues arise and you approve the change in writing.
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in Franklin County, and will you handle the paperwork?
Yes. Franklin County’s Building Codes Department requires a roofing permit for complete tear-offs or any work that alters the roof decking. Homes inside Decherd city limits must also comply with municipal zoning and inspection rules. Our office secures all permits, schedules the required mid-project and final inspections, and supplies you with a copy of the permit and inspection approvals for your records. Permit fees are included in your proposal—no surprise add-ons.
How long will my roof replacement take, and what can I expect during the project?
For an average-sized asphalt shingle roof, we typically complete the job in one to two days; metal roofs may take three to four days due to panel fabrication and trim work. Crews arrive between 7–8 a.m., protect landscaping with tarps, remove old materials, make decking repairs, install synthetic underlayment and flashings, then place the new roofing. A magnetic sweep collects nails, and we perform a final walkthrough with you. Rain delays are rare because we monitor local forecasts and never begin tear-off without 48-hour clear weather windows.
Are there financing options, warranties, or insurance claim assistance available for my new roof?
Absolutely. We offer 0% short-term and low-interest long-term financing through our lending partners, with approvals often in minutes. Manufacturer lifetime limited warranties come standard on architectural shingles, and our company adds a 10-year workmanship warranty covering leaks caused by installation defects. If your roof was damaged by storm-related wind or hail, we can meet with your adjuster, document damage, and handle the supplemental paperwork to maximize your claim under Tennessee insurance guidelines.
