FAQs
What makes a roofing material “storm-rated,” and how is that different from standard shingles?
Storm-rated products carry third-party certifications—such as UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance and ASTM D3161 Class F wind ratings—that prove they can withstand hail up to 2" in diameter and winds of 130 mph or higher. They are engineered with thicker asphalt bases, reinforced mats, or interlocking metal panels that resist tearing, puncturing, and blow-offs far better than conventional 3-tab or basic architectural shingles.
Why is a storm-rated replacement roof especially important for homes in Evensville?
Evensville sits in the Ohio River Valley, a zone that sees an average of 50–60 thunderstorm days per year plus frequent straight-line winds off the ridges. Hail events of 1" or larger occur roughly every 18 months, and the high humidity accelerates shingle aging. A storm-rated system protects against these localized hazards, reduces the need for emergency patching after each storm, and helps preserve your home’s resale value in our weather-aware real-estate market.
What storm-rated materials and brands do you offer for replacements?
We install: • Impact-resistant asphalt shingles (CertainTeed NorthGate®, GAF Timberline® ArmorShield) • Standing-seam metal panels rated to 150 mph winds • Stone-coated steel tiles that mimic shake or slate • Synthetic polymer shingles like DaVinci that carry Class 4 hail and Class A fire ratings • High-profile ridge caps, ice & water shields, and corrosion-resistant fasteners—all part of a complete storm-defense assembly.
How long does a roof replacement usually take in Evensville, and will weather delays be an issue?
An average 2,200 ft² single-family home can be fully removed and re-roofed in 1–2 days. Metal or specialty systems may take up to 4 days for custom flashing work. We schedule jobs around the National Weather Service’s 7-day outlook and use breathable synthetic underlayment so the deck is protected if an unexpected shower pops up. In the rare event severe weather halts work, your roof will be temporarily sealed and the crew will return at the next safe window.
Can installing a storm-rated roof lower my homeowners-insurance premiums?
Often yes. Many carriers serving Rhea County offer 5–25 % discounts for UL 2218 Class 4 impact-resistant roofs because they reduce claim frequency. After we complete your project, we supply a manufacturer’s certificate you can forward to your agent. Some policies also feature higher cosmetic-damage waivers for metal roofs, so we recommend speaking with your insurer before choosing a material to maximize savings.
What warranties and ongoing maintenance come with your storm-rated roofing systems?
Our manufacturer-authorized installations qualify for 30- to 50-year non-prorated material warranties and up to 25 years of workmanship coverage. Metal roofs additionally carry a 30-year paint-fade guarantee. Maintenance is minimal: an annual inspection, clearing debris from valleys and gutters, and resealing exposed fasteners every 8–10 years on metal systems. We offer a low-cost annual service plan that documents each inspection to keep your warranty in force and catch small issues before they become claims.
