FAQs
How do I know my Decherd home needs a full roof replacement instead of a repair?
Several signs point toward a full replacement: shingles that are curling, cracking, or missing in multiple areas; widespread granule loss that makes shingles look bald; visible sagging or soft spots in the decking; frequent interior leaks or water stains; and roofs that are 20+ years old. Because Decherd sees high summer heat, heavy spring rains, and the occasional hailstorm, localized repairs often only delay the inevitable. Our local roofing specialist will perform a free inspection, photograph problem areas, and give you an honest recommendation—repair if it’s truly viable or replacement if it will save money and headaches long-term.
What roofing materials do you recommend for Decherd’s climate, and how long do they last?
Most Decherd homeowners choose architectural asphalt shingles or metal panels. Architectural shingles are affordable, handle Tennessee’s UV and rain well, and carry 30–50-year manufacturer warranties when installed correctly. Metal roofing—typically standing-seam steel or aluminum—reflects heat, shrugs off rot and insects, and is warranted 40–70 years. We also install designer shingles and synthetic slate if you want a higher-end look without the weight of real slate. During your consultation we’ll discuss budget, curb appeal, HOA requirements, and energy efficiency so you can compare life-cycle costs before deciding.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Decherd, and what factors influence the price?
The average 2,000-sq-ft home in Franklin County spends $8,000–$14,000 for an architectural shingle roof and $16,000–$28,000 for metal. Your actual investment depends on: • Roof size and pitch (steeper or more complex roofs need extra labor and safety gear). • Choice of material and underlayment. • The condition of the decking—if sheets need changing, material and labor increase. • Disposal fees (we recycle shingles when possible). • Ventilation upgrades or code-required ice & water shield. We supply a line-item estimate so you can see where every dollar goes and options to fit your budget.
Will I need a permit for a roof replacement in Decherd, and do you handle the paperwork?
Yes. Franklin County requires a residential building permit for any roof replacement that involves removing existing roofing materials. Permits ensure the project meets current code for fastening, flashing, ventilation, and fire safety. Our office applies for the permit on your behalf, schedules any necessary inspections, and posts the permit visibly on-site. You won’t have to navigate county offices; we roll the permitting fee into your written proposal so there are no surprises.
Can you work with my homeowner’s insurance if the roof was damaged by hail or wind?
Absolutely. Our storm-response team is trained to identify hail bruising, wind lift, and impact damage. We document issues with photos, mark the roof for the adjuster, and help you file the claim. We meet the adjuster on-site to advocate for all legitimate repairs or full replacement. Once the claim is approved, we handle the roof replacement for the amount allowed by your policy (minus your deductible) and submit completion paperwork so the carrier releases any remaining depreciation.
How long will the roof replacement take, and what should I expect during the project?
Most Decherd homes are completed in one to two days for shingles and two to four days for metal. We start by protecting landscaping with tarps and moving breakables away from the work zone. Old roofing is stripped down to the decking, which we inspect and repair as needed. We install underlayment, flashings, shingles or panels, and ridge ventilation to code. A magnetic sweep collects nails daily, and our crew leader performs a final walk-through with you. You’ll receive a workmanship warranty certificate plus manufacturer registration before we leave.
