FAQs
How can I tell if my Knoxville roof needs repair or full replacement?
Look for warning signs such as curled or missing shingles, granule loss in gutters, leaks or water stains on ceilings, sagging roof decking, and daylight showing through the attic. Because Knoxville experiences heavy rain, high humidity, and occasional hail, small problems can worsen quickly. A professional inspection every 12–18 months—or after any major storm—will reveal whether targeted repairs are sufficient or if age and widespread damage justify a full replacement.
What roofing materials perform best in Knoxville’s climate?
Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most popular because they balance cost, curb appeal, and durability against heavy rain and moderate hail. For homeowners seeking longer life spans, metal roofing (standing-seam steel or aluminum) resists wind uplift, reflects heat, and can last 40–60 years with minimal maintenance. Synthetic slate and composite shake are attractive premium options that handle humidity without rotting. We discuss budget, desired aesthetics, HOA rules, and energy goals to recommend the best fit for each property.
Are your Knoxville roofing specialists licensed and insured?
Yes. We hold a Tennessee contractor’s license (# provided upon request) and maintain $1 million in general liability insurance plus full workers’-comp coverage. Proper licensing ensures our adherence to state building codes, while insurance protects homeowners from liability should an accident occur on-site.
How long does a roof replacement typically take in Knoxville?
Most asphalt-shingle replacements on homes under 3,000 sq ft require one to two days, weather permitting. Metal, tile, or complex steep-slope roofs may take three to five days. We schedule materials in advance, obtain any City of Knoxville permits, and provide daily progress updates. Our crews protect landscaping, magnets-sweep for nails, and perform final inspections before leaving your property.
Do you help with insurance claims for storm or hail damage?
Absolutely. We offer free storm-damage inspections, photo documentation, and detailed reports. If damage merits a claim, we meet with your adjuster to verify all affected areas are included. Once the claim is approved, we handle repairs or replacement per the insurer’s scope, bill your carrier directly for covered work, and only collect your deductible from you.
What warranties do you provide on roofing work?
Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year labor warranty. Because we are certified installers for GAF and CertainTeed, we can also register enhanced manufacturer warranties that extend material coverage to 50 years and include non-prorated protection against defects. Metal and specialty roofs come with 20–40-year manufacturer warranties, and we issue written certificates for all warranties at project completion.
