FAQs
What exactly is covered in your free roof inspection for Friendsville homeowners?
Our certified inspector will examine all visible roofing components at no cost to you. This includes shingles or metal panels, flashing, vents, chimney boots, gutters, attic ventilation, and the underlying decking (where accessible). We document storm or age-related damage with photos, check for moisture intrusion inside the attic, and provide a written report with recommendations—whether that’s a minor repair or a full roof replacement.
How can I tell if I need a repair or a complete roof replacement?
Several factors determine the best option: the roof’s age (most asphalt roofs last 18–25 years), the extent of shingle granule loss, visible sagging or soft decking, frequent leaks, and the percentage of damaged surface. During your free inspection we quantify these issues, estimate remaining service life, and explain cost comparisons so you can make an informed choice. If 25–30 % of the roof is compromised or the warranty has expired, replacement is usually the most economical long-term solution.
How long will a roof replacement in Friendsville typically take?
Most single-family homes in Friendsville can be completely reroofed in one to two days once materials are delivered, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs—multiple dormers, steep pitches, or intricate metal work—may take three to four days. We schedule projects to minimize disruption, protect landscaping, and perform a full site cleanup with magnetic nail sweep before we leave each day.
Will my homeowner’s insurance pay for the new roof?
If the roof has storm-related damage from hail or wind—a common occurrence in Blount County—your insurance policy may cover repair or replacement, minus your deductible. After our inspection we can help you file the claim, meet with the adjuster on-site to verify damage, and supply all documentation. Wear-and-tear or age-related deterioration generally is not covered, but we’ll clarify that before you decide.
What roofing materials do you recommend for the Friendsville climate?
For asphalt, we suggest architectural shingles rated for 130 mph wind uplift and Class 3 or Class 4 impact resistance to handle East Tennessee storms. Metal standing-seam roofs are also popular for their 40- to 60-year lifespan and energy efficiency. We present multiple options—shingle, metal, or composite—with color samples, manufacturer warranties, and price ranges so you can choose what fits your budget and style.
Do you handle permits and local code requirements in Friendsville?
Yes. The City of Friendsville follows Blount County’s building codes, which require a permit for any roof replacement exceeding one square (100 sq ft). Our team secures the permit, schedules any required inspections, and ensures all work meets current International Residential Code (IRC) standards, including proper underlayment, ice-and-water shield in valleys, and attic ventilation. You won’t have to navigate any paperwork—we take care of it from start to finish.
