FAQs

What makes architectural asphalt shingles a good choice for roofs in Elizabethton?

Architectural asphalt shingles are thicker and more dimensional than traditional three-tab shingles, giving them superior wind resistance (up to 130 mph), longer life spans (25–40 years), and a more attractive appearance that complements both historic and modern homes common in Elizabethton. Their heavier construction also helps them resist the high humidity, seasonal temperature swings, and occasional hail common to northeast Tennessee.

How long does it take to install a new architectural asphalt roof and siding on a typical Elizabethton home?

For an average 2,000 sq ft residence with minimal decking repairs, a full tear-off and replacement of the roof usually takes 1–2 days. Vinyl or fiber-cement siding replacement can add 2–4 additional days, depending on house size, architectural details, and weather. If structural repairs, custom trim, or gutter replacements are required, allow another 1–2 days. We schedule projects back-to-back to minimize disruption, and every job includes a thorough daily cleanup.

Are special permits or inspections required for roofing or siding work in Elizabethton or Carter County?

Yes. The City of Elizabethton requires a residential building permit for any roof replacement or siding job that involves structural changes or material upgrades. We obtain all necessary permits, schedule required mid-project and final inspections, and ensure compliance with the 2018 International Residential Code adopted by the city and county. Homeowners are not expected to handle paperwork—we provide copies of permits and inspection sign-offs upon completion.

What kind of warranty do you offer on architectural shingles and siding installations?

Material warranties vary by manufacturer; most architectural shingle lines include a limited lifetime warranty and 10-year non-prorated coverage against manufacturing defects. For siding, vinyl panels typically carry a limited lifetime warranty, while fiber cement may have 30–50 year coverage. In addition, we provide a 10-year workmanship warranty covering leaks, improper fastening, and flashing defects. If any issue arises within that period, labor and materials are covered at no cost to you.

How energy-efficient are architectural shingles and insulated siding?

Architectural shingles with ‘cool roof’ granules reflect more infrared radiation, lowering roof surface temperatures by up to 20 °F during summer. When paired with proper attic ventilation, this can reduce cooling costs by 7–15 %. Insulated vinyl or foam-backed fiber-cement siding adds an R-value of 2–3.5 to wall assemblies, helping maintain indoor comfort during Elizabethton’s hot, humid summers and chilly winters. Together, these upgrades may qualify for local utility rebates or federal tax credits.

What routine maintenance is recommended to extend the life of a new roof and siding?

1) Schedule a professional roof inspection each spring and after major storms to catch minor issues early. 2) Keep gutters clear so water cannot back up under shingles or behind siding panels. 3) Trim tree branches at least 6 ft from the roof to reduce abrasion and moss growth. 4) Wash vinyl siding annually with a mild detergent; fiber cement should be rinsed with a garden hose. 5) Avoid using pressure washers above 1,300 psi to prevent finish damage. Following these steps can add years to the service life of your investment.
