FAQs
Why should I choose factory-certified installers for my roofing and siding project in Kodak?
Factory-certified installers have been trained and tested by the manufacturers of the roofing and siding products we offer. This means every crew member understands the precise installation techniques, fastening patterns, and ventilation requirements that protect your home and preserve the product warranty. In Kodak’s mixed climate of hot, humid summers and occasional winter freezes, correct installation is crucial to prevent premature shingle failure, siding warping, and moisture intrusion. Choosing a certified team ensures your project meets or exceeds local building codes, passes manufacturer quality audits, and qualifies for the strongest material and workmanship warranties available.
What types of roofing systems can your certified crews install?
Our factory-certified roofing specialists work with asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal, stone-coated steel, low-slope TPO and EPDM membranes, and synthetic shake and slate. Because we hold certifications from leading brands such as GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, and Englert, we can offer you a broad range of colors, profiles, and energy-efficient options that match Kodak’s neighborhood styles and meet Tennessee wind-uplift standards. During your consultation, we’ll review your budget, architectural requirements, and ventilation needs to recommend the best system for longevity and curb appeal.
How does the siding installation process work from start to finish?
1. Free Consultation – A project manager inspects your existing siding, checks wall sheathing and insulation, and discusses design goals. 2. Detailed Proposal – You receive a written scope of work, material list, project timeline, and fixed price. 3. Custom Ordering – We order your chosen fiber-cement, insulated vinyl, engineered wood, or metal panels directly from the manufacturer to ensure correct factory color-match and accessory kits. 4. Preparation – On installation day our crew protects landscaping, removes old siding, repairs damaged sheathing, installs a moisture barrier, and flashes all openings. 5. Precision Installation – Factory-trained technicians follow manufacturer nailing patterns, expansion gaps, and trim details, then caulk and seal joints. 6. Final Walk-Through – We conduct a joint inspection, provide maintenance tips, and register your warranty before cleaning up the site thoroughly.
What warranties are available on your roofing and siding installations?
Because we are factory-certified, we can register enhanced warranties that non-certified contractors cannot. Roofing: Up to 50-year non-prorated material coverage and 25-year workmanship protection through the manufacturer’s "Golden Pledge" or "Platinum Protection" programs, plus our own 10-year labor guarantee. Siding: Up to lifetime material coverage against fading, cracking, and hail damage, as well as a 15-year workmanship warranty backed by the manufacturer. All warranties are transferable once if you sell your Kodak home within the coverage period, adding resale value.
What should I expect during the initial roof or siding inspection?
A certified inspector will arrive on time, introduce themselves, and wear safety gear. For roofing, they will photograph the shingles, flashing, decking, ventilation, and attic interior, noting granule loss, leaks, or structural issues. For siding, they’ll check for rot, loose panels, thermal expansion gaps, and insulation performance. You’ll receive a digital report with condition ratings, moisture-meter readings, and repair or replacement recommendations—usually within 24 hours. There is no obligation to proceed, and we’re happy to explain every line item so you can make an informed decision.
How long will a typical roof or siding replacement take for a home in Kodak?
Project length depends on home size, material choice, and weather, but most asphalt shingle roof replacements are completed in 1–2 days, while metal or specialty roofs take 3–4 days. Full siding replacement on a 2,000-square-foot home usually takes 4–6 days, including removal and wall prep. We schedule work around Kodak’s rainfall patterns and keep you updated via daily texts or emails. Our crews work efficiently yet safely, ensuring proper curing times for sealants and paint so your new exterior performs flawlessly for decades.
