FAQs
What exactly are impact-rated shingles and why are they recommended for homes in Halls?
Impact-rated shingles are asphalt shingles that carry a UL 2218 Class 3 or Class 4 rating, meaning they have been laboratory-tested to withstand hailstones and wind-blown debris without cracking or losing granules. Halls and the greater Knox County area see periodic hail, heavy rains, and high winds; impact-rated shingles provide a tougher outer layer that reduces roof damage, lowers the chance of leaks, and helps the roof last longer under our local weather conditions.
Will installing impact-rated shingles lower my homeowner’s insurance costs?
Many insurers that serve Halls offer premium discounts—typically 5–20 %—when you upgrade to Class 3 or Class 4 impact-rated roofing. After installation we give you the manufacturer’s certification letter and photos that your insurance carrier may request. Each policy is different, so we always recommend contacting your agent beforehand to confirm the exact discount and any documentation requirements.
Can you replace my gutters during the same project, and why is that a good idea?
Yes. Coordinating gutter replacement with a new impact-rated roof saves you time and labor costs because we only need one mobilization and one set of disposal fees. More importantly, gutters are flashed directly into the roof edge; installing them together ensures the drip edge, flashing, and gutter hangers are perfectly integrated, preventing water from backing up under the new shingles and maximizing the roof’s storm performance.
How long does a full impact-rated shingle roof and gutter replacement take in Halls?
Most single-family homes (2,000–3,000 sq ft) are completed in 1–2 days for the roof and a half-day for the gutters, with all work usually wrapped up within the same week. Larger or more complex roofs may extend to 3–4 days. We schedule inspections and material deliveries in advance so that weather delays are minimized, and we always leave the property fully protected overnight if work spans multiple days.
What maintenance is required after I have impact-rated shingles and new gutters installed?
Impact-rated shingles require the same general upkeep as standard architectural shingles: remove debris after storms, check for lifted tabs, and have a professional inspection every 2–3 years. Your new seamless aluminum or steel gutters should be cleaned at least twice a year (or fitted with guards) to prevent clogging. Because the gutters and roof edge flashing are installed together, keeping the gutters clear also protects the lower shingle courses and fascia from moisture damage.
Do you offer warranties or financing for impact-rated shingles and gutter replacements?
Absolutely. Our preferred manufacturers back Class 4 shingles with lifetime limited material warranties and 10- to 15-year algae-resistance guarantees. We supplement this with a 10-year workmanship warranty that covers installation-related issues for both the roof and gutters. For budgeting, we partner with local lenders to provide 0 % interest promotional plans for 12–18 months or extended terms up to 120 months with fixed low APRs. Approval often takes less than 15 minutes.
