FAQs
How do I know if my Gatlinburg home needs a full roof replacement instead of just repairs?
Several signs point toward a total replacement: shingles that are curling, cracking, or missing in multiple areas; widespread granule loss that leaves bald spots; sagging roof decking; repeated leaks in different parts of the attic; and roofs that are 20–25 years old. Because Gatlinburg’s heavy rains, high winds, and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate wear, what might be a minor issue elsewhere can quickly become a systemic problem here. We provide a free on-site inspection, complete with photos and a written condition report, so you can make an informed decision.
What roofing materials work best for Gatlinburg’s mountain climate?
Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most popular because they’re cost-effective and rated for 110–130 mph winds. Metal standing-seam roofs are an excellent upgrade for cabins and chalets: they shed snow quickly, resist wildfire embers, and often qualify for insurance discounts. Synthetic slate or shake can deliver the rustic look local HOAs love while offering Class A fire resistance and long warranties. We evaluate snow load, pitch, and budget to recommend the best option for your specific property.
How long does a full roof replacement take, start to finish?
For an average 2,000-sq-ft Gatlinburg home, tear-off and installation typically take 1–2 days for asphalt shingles and 2–3 days for metal. Complex designs, steep slopes, or weather delays can add time. Before the crew arrives, we spend one day staging materials and setting up safety rails. After installation, we perform a magnet sweep and final inspection the same day. In most cases, the entire process—from first phone call to final walkthrough—wraps up within two weeks.
Do I need a permit for roof replacement in Gatlinburg, and will you handle it?
Yes. Sevier County and the City of Gatlinburg both require a building permit for any roof replacement that involves structural decking or changes in material type. HOA architectural approvals may also apply in Chalet Village, Cobbly Nob, and similar communities. Our staff pulls all necessary permits, schedules required inspections, and provides you with copies for your records, so you stay 100 % code-compliant without the paperwork hassle.
What does a new roof cost in Gatlinburg, and what factors affect the price?
Current averages run $4.50–$6.50 per square foot for architectural asphalt and $8–$13 for standing-seam metal, installed. Key cost drivers include roof size, pitch, number of layers to remove, decking repairs, underlayment upgrades (ice & water shield is vital in Gatlinburg), ventilation improvements, and material choice. We give a detailed, line-item estimate up front, so you know exactly where every dollar goes—no surprise add-ons later.
Can you help me work with my homeowner’s insurance if my roof was damaged by a storm or wildfire smoke?
Absolutely. We provide emergency tarping to stop active leaks, then document all damage with photos, moisture readings, and written notes that match insurance adjuster guidelines. We’ll meet the adjuster on site, review the scope of loss, and use Xactimate pricing so your claim is processed smoothly. Once approved, we handle all repair or replacement work and bill your insurer directly for covered items—you’re only responsible for the deductible.
