FAQs
What roofing materials do you recommend for Ducktown’s climate?
Ducktown experiences hot, humid summers, heavy rainfall, and the occasional winter cold snap, so we typically recommend architectural asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and fiber-cement or engineered wood siding. Architectural shingles resist wind uplift to 130 mph, metal roofs reflect radiant heat to lower attic temperatures, and fiber-cement siding resists moisture, insects, and rot. All three materials stand up well to the region’s temperature swings and high humidity while offering long-term curb appeal.
How long can I expect your roofs and sidings to last?
With proper installation and routine maintenance, our architectural asphalt shingle roofs last 25–30 years, standing-seam metal roofs 40–70 years, and premium metal roofs even longer. For siding, fiber-cement averages 30–50 years, while engineered wood siding lasts 20–30 years. Periodic inspections and timely minor repairs can extend service life at the lower end of each range.
Are your products energy-efficient and will they help lower utility bills?
Yes. Our Cool-Rated metal panels feature reflective pigments that reduce roof surface temperatures by up to 50 °F, cutting cooling loads by 10–15 %. We also install radiant-barrier underlayments beneath shingles and continuous insulation behind siding to minimize heat gain and air leakage. Homeowners in Ducktown typically report 8–20 % lower annual HVAC costs after a full roof and siding upgrade.
What warranties do you provide on roofing and siding installations?
Manufacturer warranties cover material defects for 25–50 years for shingles, 40–limited-lifetime for metal panels, and 30 years for fiber-cement siding. In addition, we back every installation with a 10-year workmanship warranty that covers labor, flashing, fasteners, and any manufacturer-approved repairs needed due to installation errors. All warranties are transferable once should you sell your home.
How quickly can you complete a typical roof and siding replacement in Ducktown?
For an average 2,400 sq ft home, complete roof replacement takes 2–3 days for asphalt shingles or 3–4 days for metal panels. Siding replacement usually requires 4–6 additional days, depending on wall complexity and trim details. Weather permitting, most full roof-and-siding combos are finished in under two weeks, including debris removal and final inspections.
Do you offer financing or assistance with insurance claims?
Absolutely. We partner with local lenders to provide 0 % short-term and low-interest long-term financing options, typically with approvals in 24 hours or less. If your roof or siding sustained storm damage, our staff will document the loss, meet with the adjuster, and help file the paperwork to maximize your insurance payout and minimize out-of-pocket costs.
