FAQs
What types of storm damage do roofs in La Follette most often experience, and how can East Tennessee Storm Roofing help?
In Campbell County we frequently see high-wind uplift, missing or creased shingles, hail bruising, falling limb punctures, and water intrusion around flashing. Our Haag-certified inspectors perform a free, no-obligation assessment that documents every impact with photos and a written report. We then recommend the most cost-effective solution—targeted shingle replacement, flashing repair, or a complete reroof—using materials rated for 130-mph winds and Class 4 hail resistance.
How soon can you respond to an emergency roof repair after a storm?
We maintain 24/7 on-call crews in La Follette and arrive at most properties within 2–4 hours of your call. The first priority is to install a durable tarp or shrink-wrap to stop active leaks and protect the interior. Permanent repairs are typically scheduled within 24–72 hours, subject to material availability and weather conditions.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm-related roof repairs, and do you help with the claims process?
Most policies in Tennessee cover sudden, accidental damage caused by wind, hail, or falling objects, minus your deductible. Once we complete our inspection, we supply a detailed scope of damage, photos, and an Xactimate estimate that meets insurer formatting standards. If requested, we meet the adjuster on-site to advocate for full and fair coverage and handle all paperwork until the claim is settled.
How do you decide whether my roof needs repair or a full replacement after hail or wind damage?
Our inspectors follow FEMA and NRCA guidelines: if more than 25–30 percent of a slope has functional damage (broken seals, missing granules exposing asphalt, or mat fractures), or if code upgrades like ice-and-water shield are required, replacement is more economical and code-compliant. For isolated issues such as a few torn shingles or a small flashing leak, a localized repair will restore integrity and preserve your existing warranty.
What roofing materials perform best in East Tennessee’s climate?
For steep-slope homes, we recommend Class 3 or Class 4 impact-rated architectural shingles like CertainTeed Landmark IR or Owens Corning Duration Storm, which withstand 130-mph wind gusts and large hail. Metal standing-seam (24-gauge steel with Kynar coating) is another excellent option, offering a 40- to 50-year lifespan and superior shed of heavy snow common in the Cumberland Mountains. Low-slope sections benefit from TPO or modified bitumen with reinforced seams to resist ponding water.
Are you licensed, insured, and locally experienced, and what warranties do you provide?
Yes. East Tennessee Storm Roofing holds a Tennessee Home Improvement Contractor license (#HI-XXXX) and $2 million in general liability plus full workers’ compensation coverage. Our owners were born and raised in Campbell County and have repaired or replaced more than 1,200 roofs in the greater La Follette area. We offer a 5-year workmanship warranty on repairs, a 10-year workmanship warranty on complete reroofs, and up to a lifetime manufacturer’s material warranty when you choose an upgraded shingle system.
