On-site Consultation
On-site Consultation | Metal Roofing | Roofing | Hixson
Imagine a knowledgeable HEP roofing specialist pulling into your Hixson driveway, ladder in tow, ready to climb up and give you straight-talk answers about the strength, style, and energy savings of metal roofing. During our free on-site consultation, we inspect every ridge and valley of your current roof, take precise measurements, and show you color samples that gleam in the Tennessee sun. Whether you want a modern standing-seam silhouette or a traditional metal shake look, we translate your goals into a clear, no-pressure action plan—complete with transparent pricing and timeline details before we ever leave your property.
Because we’re local, we know how Hixson’s summer heat, sudden storms, and winter cold can test a roof, so we recommend panel profiles and coatings designed to last decades longer than asphalt. You’ll learn about energy-saving reflectivity, low-maintenance finishes, and the impressive wind ratings that come standard with HEP installations. When you’re ready, we even handle financing and HOA paperwork for you. Schedule your on-site consultation today and see how effortlessly upgrading to metal roofing can protect your home and boost its curb appeal.
FAQs
What happens during an on-site metal roofing consultation in Hixson?
A certified roofing specialist visits your property, inspects the existing roof, attic ventilation, decking, and structural components, and measures all roof facets with professional tools. We discuss your goals, aesthetic preferences, and budget, then explain metal panel profiles, coatings, colors, and fastening systems that best suit Hixson’s climate. You’ll receive a written condition report, material options, preliminary design sketches, and an itemized estimate.
Is there a fee for the consultation, and will it be applied to my project if I move forward?
In most Hixson zip codes our on-site consultation is free. For properties outside our standard service radius or with difficult access (steep terrain, multi-story lift requirements) we charge a modest travel fee that is credited 100 % toward your contract if you choose us for the installation. You will know any potential charge before we schedule the visit.
How long does the visit take and do I need to be present?
A typical single-family home consultation lasts 60–90 minutes. Complex roofs or add-on structures can extend that time. We prefer at least one decision-maker on site so we can review findings, show material samples, and answer questions in real time, but if that isn’t possible we can conduct the inspection, then hold a virtual meeting afterward.
Are metal roofs a good choice for Hixson’s weather conditions?
Yes. High-quality steel or aluminum panels with Kynar 500®/PVDF coatings resist the Tennessee Valley’s UV exposure, humidity, and occasional hail. Properly installed standing-seam or screw-down systems can withstand wind speeds up to 140 mph, well above local code requirements, and shed heavy rain quickly on the steep pitches common in Hixson neighborhoods.
Will you help me choose the right panel profile, color, and underlayment?
Absolutely. During the consultation we bring full-size panel samples, color chips, and photos of completed projects in Hixson and Chattanooga. We explain the pros and cons of standing-seam vs. exposed-fastener systems, energy-saving cool-roof finishes, and synthetic vs. high-temp peel-and-stick underlayments. Our goal is to match durability, curb appeal, and budget so you can make a confident decision.
What is the timeline after the consultation if I decide to proceed?
Once you approve the proposal, we handle HOA submissions (if required), pull Hamilton County permits, and order your custom-cut metal panels. Lead times for fabrication average 2–3 weeks. Installation on an average 2,000 sq ft roof takes 3–5 days, weather permitting. You’ll receive a detailed schedule, daily progress updates, and a final walk-through before we provide warranty paperwork and maintenance tips.
