FAQs
How do I know if my Kodak home needs a full roof replacement instead of a repair?
Several warning signs point to the need for a complete replacement: shingles that are curling, blistering, or missing in multiple areas; widespread granule loss that exposes the asphalt mat; frequent interior leaks or water stains; sagging roof decking; and roofs that are 20–25 years old or more. Because East Tennessee experiences high humidity, heavy summer storms, and occasional winter ice, these issues can accelerate wear. A free, on-site inspection by our certified roofing specialists will verify whether a repair can extend the life of your roof or if a full replacement is the safer, longer-term solution.
What roofing materials perform best in East Tennessee’s climate?
In Kodak and the broader East Tennessee area, architectural asphalt shingles remain the most popular because they balance cost, durability, and curb appeal. Metal roofing—especially standing-seam steel or aluminum—offers superior longevity (40–70 years), excellent resistance to wind uplift, and reflects solar heat, lowering cooling costs. For homeowners seeking a premium look, synthetic cedar shake or slate alternatives provide weather resistance without the weight of natural stone. We will review your budget, aesthetic goals, HOA guidelines, and energy-efficiency priorities to recommend the ideal material for your property.
How long will my roof replacement take from start to finish?
Most single-family homes in Kodak with average roof complexity can be completed in one to two working days. Large homes, very steep pitches, or specialty materials (e.g., metal panels) may require three to five days. The overall timeline breaks down into: (1) material delivery (usually the afternoon before), (2) tear-off and decking inspection, (3) installation of underlayment, flashing, and ventilation, (4) shingle or panel installation, and (5) thorough clean-up and magnetic nail sweep. Weather delays can add time, but we monitor the forecast closely to keep your project on schedule.
Will my homeowner’s insurance pay for a new roof?
Insurance typically covers roof replacement when damage results from a sudden, accidental event such as hail, high winds, falling limbs, or fire—provided you file a claim within the time limits of your policy. Age-related wear or neglect is not covered. Our team can perform a storm-damage assessment, document findings with photos, and guide you through the claims process. We can also meet with your adjuster on-site to ensure all damage is noted. If the claim is approved, you are responsible only for your deductible; the insurer pays the remaining covered amount.
What does a roof replacement cost in Kodak, Tennessee?
Pricing depends on roof size (square footage), pitch, number of layers to remove, choice of material, and any decking or structural repairs needed. As a guideline, architectural asphalt shingle replacements in Kodak generally run $4.00–$6.50 per square foot, which translates to roughly $8,000–$16,000 for a 2,000-square-foot roof. Metal roofing starts around $9.00 per square foot and can exceed $15.00 for premium profiles. We provide a detailed, written estimate after an on-site measurement and evaluation so you have no surprises.
How do you protect my property and landscaping during the project?
We treat your home as if it were our own. Before tear-off begins, we lay down breathable tarps and plywood over shrubs, flower beds, and AC units. We use an Equipter or catch-all netting system to direct debris into a dump trailer instead of onto your lawn. Gutters are shielded with protective covers, and we place plywood over windows, patios, and driveways where needed. Daily clean-ups include magnetic rakes to capture stray nails. At final walk-through, we verify that your yard, gutters, and surrounding areas are spotless and undamaged.
