FAQs
What does “manufacturer-certified workmanship” mean for my roof repair or replacement?
When a contractor is manufacturer-certified, it means the roofing material manufacturer has vetted our training, installation practices, insurance, and reputation. We have completed factory training for brands such as GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, and we follow their exact installation specifications. This protects your warranty because materials and labor are installed precisely as the manufacturer requires. You receive longer, transferable warranty coverage—often 25 years on workmanship instead of the typical 1- to 5-year labor warranty offered by non-certified roofers.
How quickly can you respond to storm damage in Gruetli-Laager?
We maintain a 24/7 emergency line for Sequatchie and Grundy County homeowners. For active leaks or severe structural damage, our crews can usually arrive within 2–4 hours to install temporary tarps and perform a safety assessment. Permanent repairs or full roof replacement can typically begin within 1–5 days, depending on material availability and your insurance carrier’s inspection schedule. Fast action helps prevent secondary problems such as mold, soaked insulation, and interior drywall damage.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of storm damage restoration?
Most standard homeowner policies in Tennessee cover sudden, accidental damage caused by wind, hail, fallen limbs, and driving rain. Coverage generally includes the roof, gutters, decking, and any interior water damage that results. You are responsible for your policy’s deductible, but we work directly with your adjuster to document damage, provide a detailed estimate, and ensure all covered repairs are included in the claim. If certain items are excluded or depreciated, we explain your options so you know your out-of-pocket costs before any work begins.
What kinds of storm damage do you repair?
• Hail bruising and punctures that compromise shingle granules and underlayment. • Wind-lifted shingles, ridge caps, and loose flashing that cause leaks. • Impact damage from falling trees, branches, or flying debris. • Roof deck saturation and mold caused by prolonged moisture intrusion. • Gutter, fascia, and soffit damage that affects drainage. • Skylight and vent boot failures triggered by high wind or hail. Whether you need a small section repaired or a complete roof replacement, we match the material—architectural asphalt, metal, or specialty shingles—to restore your roof’s warranty and curb appeal.
How do you help homeowners navigate the insurance claim process?
1. Free Inspection: We perform a photo-documented assessment of all storm-related damage. 2. Claim Filing Assistance: If damage is found, we help you initiate the claim and submit our inspection report. 3. Adjuster Meeting: One of our certified project managers meets the insurance adjuster on site to point out every area of damage. 4. Detailed Estimate: We create an itemized Xactimate® estimate that aligns with insurer pricing guidelines. 5. Scope Review: We compare the adjuster’s summary with our estimate to ensure nothing is missed. 6. Paperwork & Scheduling: Once the claim is approved, we handle material ordering, permits, and project scheduling so you have one less headache during an already stressful time.
How long will the restoration take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
Emergency tarping is completed the same day. A typical asphalt-shingle roof replacement on a 2,000-sq-ft home in Gruetli-Laager is finished in 1–2 working days; larger or complex roofs can take 3–4 days. Metal roofing may require an additional day for custom panel fabrication. During installation you can remain in your home, though you will hear hammering and experience vibration. We protect landscaping, HVAC units, and driveways with tarps and plywood. Daily clean-up includes magnetic nail sweeps, and a final walk-through ensures your property is as clean—or cleaner—than we found it.
