FAQs
How do I know if my Elizabethton home needs a full roof replacement instead of a repair?
Several signs point to a full replacement: shingles that are curling, missing, or shedding excessive granules; widespread leaks or water stains in the attic; sagging roof decking; and roofs older than 20–25 years (or 15–20 years if subjected to frequent hail or high-wind events common in northeast Tennessee). Our free inspection will determine whether damage is structural and extensive enough to warrant full replacement.
What is the typical cost of a roof replacement in Elizabethton?
Costs vary by size, pitch, and material. For a standard 2,000-square-foot home using architectural asphalt shingles, prices usually fall between $8,000 and $15,000 ($4–$7.50 per square foot). Premium options like metal, synthetic slate, or standing-seam panels start around $9–$14 per square foot. We provide a line-item estimate, explain financing options, and help you explore insurance coverage if storm damage is involved.
How long does the replacement process take from start to finish?
After the initial inspection and signed contract, obtaining permits from Carter County or the City of Elizabethton takes 1–3 business days. Once materials arrive, most single-family homes are completely stripped, decked, and re-shingled in 1–2 days; larger or steeper roofs may take 3–4. Final cleanup, magnetic nail sweep, and inspection add another half day. Weather delays are factored into our schedule, and we keep you updated via text or email.
Do I need a permit for a new roof and will you handle it?
Yes. Elizabethton and Carter County require a building permit for any full roof replacement. As your contractor we file the permit application, pay the associated fees, and arrange all required inspections. You receive copies of permit receipts and the final sign-off for your records, ensuring the roof meets current International Residential Code (IRC) standards and local amendments.
What types of roofing materials work best in Elizabethton’s climate?
Architectural asphalt shingles are popular for their balance of cost, durability, and wind resistance (up to 130 mph when properly installed). Metal roofing—especially standing-seam or high-rib panels—handles our region’s heavy rain and occasional snow loads, reflecting heat in summer and shedding ice quickly in winter. We also install impact-rated shingles (Class 4) for added protection against hail, which is not uncommon in the Tri-Cities area.
What warranties and maintenance should I expect after installation?
You receive a manufacturer’s limited lifetime material warranty (typically 30–50 years) plus our 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation-related issues. To keep warranties valid, we recommend an annual inspection, routine gutter cleaning, and debris removal after severe storms. We provide a written maintenance checklist and offer affordable maintenance plans that include minor repairs and documentation for insurance purposes.
