FAQs
What are the most common causes of roof leaks in Farragut and how do you determine the source?
In our area, leaks are usually caused by wind-blown shingle damage, aging or cracked pipe boots, loose flashing around chimneys and walls, nail pops, and clogged gutters that back water under the shingles. Our technicians start with a visual inspection inside the attic to spot water trails, then move to the roof to check problem zones with moisture meters and infrared cameras when needed. By tracing the water path from the stain to the entry point, we can pinpoint and fix the exact defect rather than guessing or recommending a full roof replacement you may not need.
How can I tell if my gutters need replacement instead of a simple repair or cleaning?
Signs that a full gutter replacement is in order include persistent leaks at the seams, sections pulling away from the fascia, visible rust or pin-hole corrosion, sagging due to inadequate pitch, and fascia or soffit rot caused by chronic overflow. If your gutters are more than 20–25 years old, are the old 4" or 5" size, or lack modern hangers and oversized downspouts, upgrading can prevent roof edge leaks and foundation erosion. We inspect the entire system, flush it with water, and provide photos so you can decide whether a spot repair, a thorough cleaning, or a complete seamless 6" aluminum replacement is the smartest long-term solution.
What is the typical process and timeline for roof leak repairs and gutter replacements?
Most small roof-leak repairs (shingle replacement, flashing reseal, vent boot swap) are completed in one visit lasting 1–3 hours. For larger areas that require partial redecking, we schedule a full-day crew. A seamless gutter replacement on an average 2,500-sq-ft home takes 4–6 hours because the gutters are custom-formed on site and installed section-by-section with new hidden hangers and downspouts. We start with a written estimate, pull permits if needed, protect landscaping with tarps, perform the work, then do a magnetic nail sweep and final water test before walking the homeowner through the results.
How much should I budget for roof leak repair or gutter replacement in Farragut?
Small roof repairs such as sealing a pipe boot or replacing a few shingles usually range from $250–$600. Medium repairs involving flashing or partial decking typically fall between $600–$1,500. Complete seamless aluminum gutter replacement averages $8–$12 per linear foot installed, so a home with 200 feet of gutter would be about $1,600–$2,400. Costs vary based on roof pitch, accessibility, story height, material upgrades (copper, gutter guards), and any underlying wood rot discovered once the old system is removed. All estimates are free, itemized, and honored for 30 days.
Do you offer warranties or ongoing maintenance after the work is completed?
Yes. Roof leak repairs come with a minimum 2-year workmanship warranty, and full gutter replacements include a 5-year workmanship warranty plus a 20- to 30-year material warranty depending on the product chosen. We also offer an optional annual maintenance plan that covers a spring gutter cleaning, a fall roof inspection, priority scheduling, and discounted rates for any additional repairs detected during those visits.
Can you assist with insurance claims for storm-related roof or gutter damage?
Absolutely. If wind, hail, or falling debris caused the roof leak or damaged your gutter system, we can perform a free storm assessment, document the damage with photos and a written report, and meet with your insurance adjuster on site. We understand the line-by-line Xactimate pricing your carrier uses and will ensure all necessary components—drip edge, flashing, gutter guards, fascia replacement—are included in the scope. Once your claim is approved, we schedule the work, handle any supplemental paperwork, and bill your insurer directly for the covered amount; you’re only responsible for your deductible and any elective upgrades.
