FAQs
What makes your “Premium Materials Roofing – Roofing Done Right” service different from standard roofing options in Karns?
Our premium roofing service uses top-tier materials such as Class 4 impact-rated shingles, standing-seam metal panels, and synthetic underlayments that outperform conventional asphalt shingles in durability, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. In addition, every roof is installed by manufacturer-certified crews who follow Karns’ local building codes and our own 25-point quality checklist, ensuring longer life, fewer repairs, and better protection for your home.
How long can I expect a premium materials roof to last in the Karns climate?
With proper installation and routine maintenance, our premium shingle roofs typically last 30–40 years, while our standing-seam metal systems can exceed 50 years. The high-quality coatings and UV stabilizers in these materials resist the intense summer sun, while Class 4 impact ratings protect against hail and wind-borne debris common in East Tennessee storms.
What warranties come with your premium roofing systems?
You receive two layers of protection: (1) a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty covering defects in the shingles or metal panels, and (2) our own 15-year workmanship warranty that guarantees the roof was installed correctly. Should any leak or installation-related issue arise within that period, we will repair it at no cost to you.
Do premium materials add value or lower energy costs for my Karns home?
Yes. Reflective metal coatings and cool-roof asphalt shingles can reduce attic temperatures by up to 15 °F, lowering summer HVAC usage by 10–15 %. Real estate studies show that high-end roofing recoups 60–70 % of its cost at resale and boosts curb appeal, making your home more attractive to buyers.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover part of the upgrade to premium materials?
Insurance policies usually cover roof replacement only when it is storm-related or due to sudden damage. If you are replacing a damaged roof with premium materials, many carriers will pay the Actual Cash Value (ACV) of your existing roof and you can pay the difference for the upgrade. We provide detailed estimates and meet with adjusters to help maximize your claim.
How long does the installation process take and what should I expect during the project?
Most premium asphalt shingle roofs are completed in 1–2 days, while metal roofs take 3–4 days, depending on complexity. We start with a pre-installation walkthrough, protect landscaping with tarps, remove old roofing, inspect decking, install underlayment and flashings, lay new premium materials, and finish with a magnetic nail sweep and full cleanup. A final inspection with you ensures everything meets our “Roofing Done Right” standards.
