FAQs
How do I know if my Hixson home needs a full roof replacement instead of repairs?
A complete replacement is usually recommended when your roof is 20–25 years old, has widespread shingle curling or loss, multiple active leaks, or structural decking damage. Because Hixson experiences significant humidity and seasonal storms, hidden moisture damage can accelerate wear. Our inspection includes attic moisture readings, shingle core sampling, and drone imagery to confirm whether spot repairs or a full tear-off is the most cost-effective option.
What roofing materials are best suited for the Hixson climate?
Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most popular because they balance affordability, wind resistance up to 130 mph, and a 30–50 year lifespan. Metal roofing (standing-seam steel or aluminum) offers superior longevity—50+ years—and excellent energy efficiency by reflecting solar heat, which is useful in Hixson’s hot summers. We also install synthetic slate and designer shingles for premium curb appeal. Each option is evaluated for wind uplift, algae resistance, and local building codes.
How much does a full roof replacement typically cost in Hixson?
Prices generally range from $6,500 to $14,000 for an average 2,000 sq ft roof with architectural shingles. Costs vary based on material choice, roof pitch, number of layers to remove, required decking repairs, and disposal fees. Metal roofs start around $10 per square foot installed. We provide a detailed, written estimate outlining labor, materials, permits, and any contingencies so there are no surprises.
What is the roof replacement process and how long will it take?
1) Free on-site inspection and estimate. 2) Material selection and contract signing. 3) Permit acquisition with the City of Chattanooga/Hamilton County if required. 4) Delivery of materials and protective tarping of landscaping. 5) Complete tear-off down to the decking, replacing any rotten wood. 6) Installation of underlayment, drip edge, flashing, shingles or panels, and ridge ventilation. 7) Magnetic nail sweep and debris haul-off. Most asphalt shingle replacements in Hixson are finished in 1–2 days, while metal or complex roofs may take 3–4 days.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover my roof replacement?
Insurance may pay for a full replacement if storm damage—such as wind or hail—is the primary cause and the damage is recent. We provide photo documentation, a detailed inspection report, and can meet with your adjuster to advocate on your behalf. Keep in mind that insurance usually pays actual cash value or replacement cost minus your deductible, and pre-existing wear or neglect is not covered.
What warranties and post-installation support do you offer?
All shingle manufacturers we use provide a 25- to 50-year limited lifetime material warranty. As a certified installer, we can upgrade you to an enhanced warranty that covers labor and non-prorated materials for up to 25 years. Our workmanship warranty is 10 years, meaning we handle any installation-related leaks or defects at no cost. Annual roof health checkups and free storm-response inspections are included for local Hixson customers.
