FAQs
When is a full-section roof rebuild necessary instead of a standard repair?
A full-section rebuild is recommended when damage affects an entire plane of the roof—typically more than 25–30 % of that section—or when underlying components such as decking, underlayment, or trusses are compromised. Common causes in Farragut include widespread hail impact, long-term water intrusion, or improper installations on homes that are 15 + years old. A traditional surface repair may mask symptoms temporarily, but a rebuild restores structural integrity, prevents recurring leaks, and extends overall roof life.
How long does a full-section roof rebuild usually take in Farragut?
For a single-family home, most full-section rebuilds are completed in 1–3 days of on-site work. Day 1 involves tear-off and inspection of the decking; Day 2 covers repairs to the substrate, underlayment, and flashing; Day 3 is typically devoted to shingle or metal panel installation and cleanup. Severe decking or framing damage, special-order materials, or prolonged rain can extend the schedule. We provide a detailed timeline up front and keep you informed of any weather-related adjustments.
Do I need a permit for a roof-section rebuild in Farragut, and will you handle it?
Yes. The Town of Farragut and Knox County require a building permit for any roofing work that involves structural repairs, decking replacement, or more than one roofing square of material removal. We obtain all necessary permits, schedule any required inspections, and ensure the project adheres to local building codes, including Farragut’s wind-speed fastening requirements and ventilation guidelines.
What roofing materials perform best in Farragut’s climate for a rebuilt section?
Architectural asphalt shingles with Class 3 or 4 impact ratings are the most popular because they resist hail and high winds common to East Tennessee. Metal panels (standing seam or ribbed) offer superior longevity and energy efficiency but cost more upfront. For flat or low-slope sections, TPO or modified bitumen membranes are favored. We match the new section’s material to the existing roof when possible, or recommend an upgrade if the original product is nearing the end of its service life.
Will my homeowners insurance cover a full-section rebuild?
Coverage depends on the cause of damage and your policy terms. Storm-related events such as hail, wind, or fallen limbs are usually covered under dwelling protection. Age-related wear or neglected maintenance is not. After a free inspection, we provide photo documentation and a detailed scope of work to submit to your insurer. We can also meet your adjuster on site to ensure damage is assessed accurately and negotiate for code-required upgrades that might otherwise be overlooked.
What kind of warranty and maintenance can I expect after the rebuild?
Our full-section rebuilds include a manufacturer’s material warranty of 30–50 years (depending on product) and a 10-year transferable workmanship warranty that covers leaks arising from installation errors. To keep warranties valid, schedule a roof inspection every 2–3 years—or after severe storms—and clear gutters and debris each spring and fall. We offer a low-cost maintenance plan that documents condition, cleans flashing and sealants, and provides priority repair service if issues arise.
