FAQs
What signs indicate that my steep-slope shingle roof in Loudon needs replacement?
Common red flags include curling or missing shingles, cracked or brittle tabs, widespread granule loss (visible in gutters or downspouts), dark streaks from algae, persistent roof leaks, and roofs older than 20–25 years. In Loudon’s mixed climate—hot summers, heavy rains, and occasional winter freezes—these issues accelerate, making timely replacement essential to protect your home’s structure and energy efficiency.
How long does a typical steep-slope shingle roof replacement take in Loudon?
For an average single-family home, most replacements are completed within 1–3 days, depending on roof size, pitch, existing layers to remove, weather conditions, and any decking repairs required. Our “Roofing Done Right” team provides a detailed timeline before work begins and monitors local forecasts to minimize weather-related delays.
Which types of shingles are best for Loudon’s climate and building codes?
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most popular due to their durability, wind resistance up to 130 mph, and affordability. We also offer upgraded impact-resistant Class 4 shingles for hail protection and algae-resistant shingles to reduce staining in the humid Tennessee climate. All products we install meet or exceed Loudon County building codes and come with manufacturer warranties backed by our own workmanship guarantee.
Will a shingle roof replacement improve my home’s energy efficiency?
Yes. Modern shingles feature reflective granules and better underlayment systems that reduce heat absorption. We pair them with proper attic ventilation (ridge vents, soffit vents, or fan systems) to lower attic temperatures, cutting cooling costs by up to 15 %. Additionally, sealing and flashing upgrades help eliminate air leaks, enhancing overall insulation performance.

How should I prepare my property before the roofing crew arrives?
Clear driveways and move vehicles to the street for material delivery. Remove fragile items from walls and shelves in attic-adjacent rooms (hammering can cause vibrations). Cover items in the attic to protect from dust. Trim lawn for easier cleanup of nails. Notify neighbors of the scheduled work dates to minimize disruptions. We’ll handle the rest, including property protection tarps, landscaping safeguards, and daily site cleanup.
