FAQs
What sets your premium shingles apart from standard roofing shingles?
Our premium shingles are engineered with multiple layers of fiberglass reinforcement and high-grade asphalt, giving them superior durability, wind resistance up to 130 mph, and enhanced impact protection. They feature deeper shadow lines and richer color blends for a dimensional, architectural look that boosts curb appeal. Additionally, the surface granules contain UV inhibitors and algae-resistant copper to maintain color vibrancy and prevent streaking in Kodakâs humid climate.
Why is it important to hire a Kodak-based roofing company for my shingle installation?
A local contractor understands the specific weather patterns, building codes, and permit requirements in Sevier County. We know how Kodakâs hot summers, heavy rains, and occasional high winds affect roofing systems, and we source materials rated for those conditions. Being minutes away also allows us to perform prompt site inspections, respond quickly to emergencies, and stand behind our workmanship long after the job is done.
How long can I expect a premium shingle roof to last in Kodak, TN?
With proper installation and routine maintenance, premium architectural shingles typically last 25-35 years, and some designer lines can reach 40 years. Their thicker construction and reinforced nailing zones resist wind uplift and thermal cracking better than 3-tab shingles. Annual inspections, good attic ventilation, and timely debris removal will maximize the roofâs lifespan in our local climate.
What kind of warranty do you provide on premium shingle installations?
We are certified by the major shingle manufacturers, so every full-roof replacement comes with a lifetime limited manufacturerâs warranty on the shingles (non-prorated for the first 10-15 years) plus our own 10-year workmanship guarantee. This means any leak caused by installation error will be repaired at no cost, and manufacturer defects such as premature granule loss are covered according to their terms.

Are premium shingles energy efficient and environmentally friendly?
Yes. Many premium shingle lines carry Cool Roof or ENERGY STAR ratings, reflecting more solar heat to lower attic temperatures and reduce HVAC loads during Kodakâs hot summer months. They also use reflective, algae-resistant granules that extend the roofâs service life. The shingles contain a significant proportion of recycled content, and at the end of their life, the material can be reclaimed for use in asphalt paving, reducing landfill waste.
