FAQs
What roofing problems are most common on Lookout Mountain?
Because of our elevation and exposure, homes on Lookout Mountain often face high winds, sudden hailstorms, driving rain, and stronger UV rays than properties in the valley. These conditions can loosen shingles, cause granular loss, crack flashing, and accelerate overall wear. We tailor every inspection to spot wind-lifted shingles, hail bruising, ridge cap damage, and flashing separation—issues we see here every week.
How fast can you inspect and repair my roof after a storm?
In most cases we can perform an on-site inspection within 24 hours of your call—often the same day if the storm was severe. Emergency tarping is available immediately to prevent further water intrusion. Typical minor repairs are completed within 1–3 business days, while larger structural or decking jobs are scheduled within 5–7 days, pending material availability and weather.
Do you handle insurance claims for storm or tree damage?
Yes. Our team is experienced in documenting damage according to industry and carrier guidelines. We provide photo evidence, written assessments, and a detailed line-item estimate (Xactimate format) to streamline your claim. We’ll also meet your adjuster on-site to make sure nothing is missed, then bill your insurer directly for covered work so you only pay your deductible.
Which roofing materials hold up best in Lookout Mountain’s climate?
Impact-rated architectural shingles (Class 4) and standing-seam metal roofs perform exceptionally here. Both resist hail and 100+ mph wind gusts common on the ridge. We also install synthetic underlayment with high temperature ratings to handle intense summer sun and ice-&-water shield in all valleys to combat wind-driven rain. During your consultation we explain the pros, cons, and budget ranges for each option.
Our roof is steep—how do you ensure safety and protect landscaping?
We use OSHA-approved rope & harness systems, ladder stabilizers, and anchored staging planks designed for 10/12 pitches and higher. Ground crews set up debris nets and plywood shields over shrubs, gutters, and decks. Magnetic rollers sweep for nails daily, and we haul away all old material—leaving your property just as we found it.
What will a repair cost and what kind of warranty do you offer?
Small shingle or flashing repairs typically run $325–$750, valley or ridge repairs $750–$1,800, and partial re-decking or structural fixes start around $2,000. Every repair includes a written quote up front, no surprises. We warranty workmanship for 5 years on repairs and register manufacturer warranties (up to 50 years) on any new shingles or metal panels we install.
