FAQs
Why should I schedule a professional roof assessment in Helenwood, TN?
Helenwood’s mix of hot, humid summers, heavy rainfall, and the occasional winter ice event can quietly damage shingles, flashing, and decking. A professional assessment spots hidden leaks, storm damage, and ventilation issues before they become expensive structural repairs, helping you preserve home value and maintain insurance coverage.
What does your “Roofing Done Right” assessment include?
Our certified inspectors examine the roof surface, flashing, penetrations, gutters, and attic space. We use moisture meters, thermal imaging, and, when appropriate, drone photography to document every detail. You receive a written report with photos, a condition grade, life-expectancy estimate, and prioritized repair or replacement recommendations tailored to your budget.
How much does a roof assessment cost, and is it credited toward repairs or replacement?
For most Helenwood homeowners, the assessment is complimentary. When a detailed real-estate or insurance report is required, the fee ranges from $99–$199. If you hire us to perform any recommended work within 90 days, we credit 100 % of the assessment fee toward your final invoice.
How long will the assessment and follow-up work take?
A typical single-family roof assessment takes 45–60 minutes; larger or steep-slope roofs may take up to 90 minutes. Minor repairs (sealing flashing, replacing a few shingles) are often completed the same day. Full reroofs in Helenwood usually take 1–2 days for asphalt shingles and 2–3 days for standing-seam metal, weather permitting.
What roofing materials do you recommend for Helenwood’s climate, and why?
Architectural asphalt shingles with algae-resistant granules offer an excellent balance of cost, durability (25–30 years), and curb appeal. For homeowners seeking superior longevity and energy efficiency, 24-gauge standing-seam metal roofs perform exceptionally well against Tennessee’s temperature swings and can last 50+ years. We also install synthetic underlayment and ridge ventilation to combat humidity.
Are you licensed, insured, and do you offer warranties?
Yes. We hold a Tennessee Home Improvement license, carry $2 million general liability and full workers’ compensation coverage, and are Owens Corning Preferred and GAF Certified installers. Labor is backed by our 10-year workmanship warranty, and manufacturer warranties of up to 50 years are available on qualifying shingle and metal systems.
