FAQs
How can I tell if my asphalt shingles in La Follette need repair or full replacement?
Look for curling or missing tabs, granule loss that exposes the black mat, soft spots in the roof decking, and water stains in the attic or ceilings. In La Follette's humid summers and occasional winter freezes, localized damage (under 25–30 % of the roof surface) is usually a candidate for spot repair, whereas widespread deterioration, sagging, or leaks in multiple areas signal that replacement will likely be more cost-effective and durable.
What is the typical cost to repair a small section of shingles in the La Follette area?
Minor shingle repairs typically range from $250 to $650, depending on the roof’s pitch, shingle style, and accessibility. Costs rise if decking or underlayment is compromised or if steep slopes require extra safety equipment. We always provide a free on-site assessment and written estimate so you know the exact price before any work begins.
How quickly can you respond to storm or wind damage on my roof?
Because La Follette can experience sudden windstorms off Norris Lake, we offer 24/7 emergency service. A crew can usually be on-site within 2–4 hours to tarp exposed areas and prevent further water intrusion. Permanent shingle repairs are typically scheduled within 1–3 business days, pending weather and material availability.
Will new shingles match the color of my existing roof?
We stock and can special-order most major brands carried in Tennessee, including Owens Corning, GAF, and CertainTeed. During the inspection we identify your current shingle style and color blend, then source the closest possible match. Slight shade variations may occur due to sun fading on the existing roof, but careful placement and feathering help the repair blend in seamlessly.
Does my homeowners insurance cover shingle repair?
If the damage is sudden and accidental—such as wind, hail, or fallen branches—most standard policies do cover repair costs, minus your deductible. Wear-and-tear or neglect is usually excluded. We document the damage with photos, provide a detailed report, and can meet with your adjuster on-site to streamline the claim process.
What kind of warranty do you provide on shingle repairs?
Our labor is backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty, in addition to the manufacturer’s remaining shingle warranty (often 20–30 years). If the repaired area leaks or shingles come loose due to installation error within five years, we fix it at no cost to you. Routine maintenance inspections are free during the warranty period to catch issues early.
