FAQs
How do you ensure that the estimate you give me is truly honest and accurate?
Our estimators complete a thorough on-site inspection, including attic ventilation, decking condition, flashing integrity, and current code requirements. We document everything with photos that we email to you alongside a line-item proposal, so you can see exactly how each cost is calculated (labor, materials, disposal, permits, and contingencies). We also use current regional material price lists for the Elizabethton area and never inflate numbers to “pad” the bid. If material prices drop before the job starts, we revise your estimate downward and provide a credit on the final invoice.
What roofing materials do you recommend for homes in Elizabethton’s climate?
Most Elizabethton homeowners choose between architectural asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or synthetic shingles. Architectural asphalt shingles handle our frequent rain and occasional snow well, come with 30- to 50-year warranties, and are budget-friendly. Standing-seam metal roofs last 50+ years, resist high winds in our mountain valleys, and can lower cooling costs because they reflect UV. Premium synthetics (such as polymer slate or shake) weigh less than real slate, resist hail, and meet Class A fire ratings demanded by local insurance carriers. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your budget, curb-appeal goals, and HOA guidelines before recommending the best fit.
How long will my roof replacement take from start to finish?
A typical single-family asphalt shingle re-roof in Elizabethton takes 1–2 days once materials are on site, while a metal roof installation usually requires 2–4 days because panels are custom-fabricated. Before we begin, we give you a project calendar that includes delivery, tear-off, installation, clean-up, and final inspection. Weather delays are common in our region, so we pad the schedule by one extra day and keep you updated by text and email if rain pushes us back.
Are you licensed, insured, and bonded to work in Tennessee?
Yes. We hold a Tennessee Roofing & Sheet Metal Contractor license (#TN-7654321) and carry $2 million in general liability coverage plus full workers’ compensation for every crew member. Proof of insurance, bonding, and our license certificate are included in your estimate packet and available on request. This protects you from liability if any accident occurs on your property.
Can you help me file an insurance claim for storm or hail damage?
Absolutely. We use HAAG-certified inspectors who know how to recognize legitimate hail, wind, and impact damage. If we find qualifying damage, we prepare a photo report and meet your adjuster on-site to ensure all repairs are included in the scope. We understand Tennessee insurance pricing software (Xactimate) and negotiate supplements when required. Our goal is to make sure you only pay your deductible—no hidden upcharges.
What kind of maintenance do you recommend after the new roof is installed?
Even with a brand-new roof, simple upkeep extends its life: 1) Clear gutters and downspouts every spring and fall to prevent water backup under shingles. 2) Trim overhanging branches to reduce debris accumulation and limb impact during storms. 3) Schedule a free annual inspection with us—this allows us to spot loose flashing, seal exposed fasteners, and check attic ventilation before small issues turn costly. 4) Record all maintenance and warranty paperwork so your manufacturer warranty remains valid. Following these steps can add 5–10 years to the life of your new roof in Elizabethton’s variable weather.
