FAQs
What should I expect on installation day for my roof replacement in Duff?
Our crew typically arrives between 7:00–7:30 a.m. We’ll start by protecting landscaping and exterior walls with tarps, then remove the old roofing down to the decking. Any damaged sheathing is replaced, followed by underlayment, flashing, shingles, ventilation components, and a magnetic sweep of the property. A site supervisor is on-site all day to answer questions and ensure local Duff building codes are met.
How long does a roof replacement usually take?
Most single-family homes in Duff are completed in one day. Larger or more complex roofs, or those requiring extensive deck repairs, may take up to two days. Severe weather can extend the timeline, but we monitor forecasts closely and will reschedule rather than risk an incomplete, exposed roof.
How should I prepare my home and yard before installation day?
Move vehicles out of the driveway and garage, bring patio furniture and grills at least 20 ft away from the house, and secure loose décor on walls or shelves inside (hammering can cause vibrations). Keep pets indoors or off-site, and let neighbors know about the project so they’re prepared for noise and extra traffic.
What roofing materials do you install and which are best for Duff’s climate?
We offer architectural asphalt shingles, impact-resistant shingles, metal panels, and designer composites. For Duff’s mix of hot summers, occasional hail, and heavy winter snow loads, architectural or impact-resistant asphalt shingles are the most popular choice, balancing durability, energy efficiency, and cost. All materials we use carry Class A fire ratings and meet Tennessee wind-uplift requirements.
Will the roof replacement be noisy and can I stay in my home during the process?
Yes, there is significant hammering, compressor noise, and crew traffic from start to finish. While you can stay home, we recommend planning errands or remote work elsewhere if possible, especially for young children, night-shift workers, or anyone sensitive to loud sounds. We finish major tear-off work by early afternoon to minimize the noise window.
What warranties and post-installation support do you provide?
All new roofs come with a manufacturer’s material warranty of 30–50 years (depending on shingle line) and our 10-year workmanship warranty. After installation we register your warranty on your behalf, provide a written inspection report, and offer a free one-year check-up to ensure ventilation, flashing, and sealants are performing properly.
