FAQs
What does “impact-resistant roofing” mean and how is it different from standard shingles?
Impact-resistant roofing products are engineered, tested, and certified (Class 3 or Class 4 under UL 2218) to withstand the force of hailstones, falling branches, and wind-blown debris without cracking or losing granules. Standard asphalt shingles can fracture or shed granules when struck, which shortens their life and can void warranties. Impact-rated shingles use thicker asphalt mats, reinforced fiberglass, or rubber-modified asphalts that absorb energy instead of breaking. The result is a roof that lasts longer, resists leaks, and keeps its manufacturer warranty even after a hail event—an important benefit in Greenback where summer storms and spring hail are common.
How will impact-resistant roofing and siding protect my Greenback, TN home from local weather hazards?
Greenback sees everything from high-speed straight-line winds off Tellico Lake to hailstorms rolling out of the Cumberland Plateau. Impact-resistant shingles are designed to resist hail up to 2" in diameter and wind speeds of 130 mph or higher, reducing the chance of punctures and shingle blow-offs. Fiber-cement or engineered polymer siding options provide a similar shield for your walls, resisting wind-borne debris and preventing moisture infiltration. Together, these systems help prevent costly interior water damage, lower the likelihood of emergency repairs, and preserve your home’s curb appeal after severe East Tennessee weather events.
Can installing impact-resistant products lower my homeowners-insurance premiums in Greenback?
Often yes. Many insurers operating in Tennessee— including Farm Bureau, State Farm, and Travelers—offer 5 % to 25 % premium credits if you install UL 2218 Class 3 or Class 4 impact-resistant roofing. Some carriers extend smaller discounts for approved impact-resistant siding. Before the project starts, call your agent with the manufacturer and product line; they’ll confirm the eligible discount and any paperwork needed (such as a completion certificate from our company). Over time, the insurance savings can offset part of the installation cost while giving you better protection.
What styles, colors, and materials are available for impact-resistant roofing and siding?
You are not limited to a commercial or utilitarian look. Impact-resistant roofing comes in textured architectural asphalt shingles, designer slate-look composites, metal panels, and even concrete or synthetic shake tiles, all in dozens of color blends that complement Greenback’s mix of farmhouses and lakefront properties. For siding, we install fiber-cement boards, LP® SmartSide® engineered wood, and insulated polymer panels, each with multiple lap, shake, or board-and-batten profiles. We bring full sample boards to your home so you can see how the colors read in natural light and match existing trim.
How long does installation take, and will it disrupt my day-to-day routine?
Most single-family roofs in Greenback take 1–2 days for tear-off and installation; complex roofs or metal systems may take 3–4 days. Siding replacement typically runs 3–6 days depending on house size and trim details. We schedule deliveries outside of school bus hours, use landscape protection nets, and magnet-sweep daily to keep your driveway and yard usable. Power tools run only during city-allowed hours (8 a.m.–6 p.m.), so you can plan work-from-home calls accordingly. Our project manager gives you a daily progress text and is on-site for any questions.
What kind of warranty and maintenance should I expect after installation?
You receive three layers of protection: (1) the manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty (or 30–50 years for metal/composite), which covers material defects; (2) our 10-year workmanship warranty that covers any installation-related leaks or siding issues; and (3) an optional no-deductible extended warranty we can register on your behalf for full coverage of labor and materials against manufacturing defects for up to 25 years. Maintenance is minimal: keep gutters clean, trim back overhanging limbs, and schedule a free roof & siding inspection after major storms or every two years. No special chemical cleaners are needed—just a low-pressure garden hose rinse for siding and a visual shingle check from the ground.
