FAQs
What makes storm-tested roofing materials different from standard shingles?
Storm-tested products are engineered to withstand the high-wind, hail, and driving rain events common in Jellico. They carry impact-resistance ratings (Class 3 or 4 under UL 2218), enhanced wind warranties up to 130–150 mph, and reinforced nailing zones that resist shingle lift. Many lines also feature SBS-modified asphalt or woven fiberglass mats that flex instead of cracking during a hail hit. In short, they perform better and last longer when severe weather strikes.
How can I tell if my Jellico home needs a full roof replacement after a storm?
Look for missing or creased shingles, granule piles in gutters, interior ceiling stains, daylight showing in the attic, or multiple leak points—these signs usually indicate system-wide damage. Because hail bruising and wind uplift are not always visible from the ground, we offer free post-storm inspections. Our HAAG-certified inspectors document damage with photos and a written report you can share with your insurance carrier. If repairs won’t restore full protection, we recommend replacement and explain the reasoning line by line.
Are storm-rated roofs more expensive, and what is the return on investment?
Up-front, impact-resistant shingles cost about 10–20 % more than entry-level architectural shingles. However, they deliver a longer service life, reduce the likelihood of emergency repairs, and may qualify for premium discounts with many Tennessee insurers—often 5–15 %. Add the boost to resale value from an upgraded wind/hail rating, and most homeowners recover the price difference within 3–5 years while enjoying extra peace of mind.
How long does a typical roof replacement take in Jellico, and will weather delays affect the schedule?
A standard single-family home (2,000–3,000 sq ft) can usually be stripped, deck-inspected, and re-roofed with storm-tested materials in one to two days. We monitor local forecasts and stage crews accordingly; if rain or high winds are predicted, we seal exposed areas with synthetic underlayment or shrink-wrap to keep your home watertight. Weather delays rarely extend a project more than an additional day or two.
Can storm-tested roofing materials lower my homeowners-insurance premiums in Tennessee?
Yes. Many carriers—including Farm Bureau, State Farm, and Nationwide—offer credits for UL 2218 Class 3 or Class 4 impact-resistant roofs. After installation, we provide the manufacturer’s certification letter you’ll need to submit to your agent. Savings vary, but Jellico clients report annual reductions of $80–$250, which adds up over the life of the roof.
What warranties come with your storm-tested roof replacements, and how do I register them?
All replacements include our 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation-related leaks. The shingle manufacturer adds a 30- to 50-year limited lifetime material warranty plus enhanced wind/hail coverage when we install their full system (shingles, underlayment, starter, ridge, and ventilation). We register both warranties for you online and email copies for your records, so coverage starts the day the last nail is driven.
