FAQs
What exactly is a “no-pressure roof inspection,” and is it really free?
Yes. Our no-pressure roof inspection means one of our certified technicians will examine your roof in Monteagle at no cost, photograph any trouble spots, and explain what we’ve found in plain English—without the hard sell. You’ll receive a written report outlining the roof’s current condition, estimated remaining lifespan, and honest repair or maintenance options. Whether you decide to move forward immediately, wait, or seek a second opinion is entirely up to you. We believe an informed homeowner makes the best long-term decision, so the visit is 100 % obligation-free.
How can I tell if my Monteagle roof needs repair or full replacement?
Several indicators suggest repair versus replacement. Minor issues—such as a handful of missing shingles, small flashing gaps, or isolated leaks—can usually be repaired quickly and economically. Extensive granule loss, widespread curling or cracked shingles, multiple active leaks, or sagging roof decking often point toward full replacement. During your inspection we’ll measure shingle life expectancy, check attic ventilation and insulation, and use moisture meters to detect hidden water damage. You’ll receive side-by-side cost estimates for both repair and replacement so you can weigh budget, longevity, and resale value before deciding.
How fast can you respond to storm or wind damage in the Monteagle area?
Because Monteagle frequently sees high winds on the Cumberland Plateau, we keep emergency crews on standby. For urgent leaks, fallen tree limbs, or missing shingles, we can usually arrive within 24 hours—and often the same day. Temporary tarping is installed immediately to stop interior damage, and a full repair plan follows within 48 hours. Our team also documents damage with photos and moisture readings that you can forward to your insurance carrier, helping speed up claim approval.
What roofing materials and systems do you service or install?
We service and install asphalt shingles, architectural/dimensional shingles, standing-seam metal, screw-down metal panels, wood shakes, and most low-slope membranes (EPDM and TPO). For historic Monteagle homes, we offer specialty shingle patterns that preserve original aesthetics while meeting today’s wind and fire codes. All repairs use manufacturer-approved components—matching shingles, proper underlayment, ice-and-water shield along eaves, and new flashing—so your roof’s warranty stays intact.
Will a repair affect my existing manufacturer or workmanship warranties, and do you offer your own?
No. We follow each manufacturer’s repair guidelines, use approved fasteners and sealants, and document the process, so your original warranty remains valid. For roofs we’ve installed, you retain your full workmanship coverage after any repair. If we service a roof installed by someone else, we provide a separate 2-year workmanship warranty on our repair area and register any replaced components with the shingle or metal manufacturer when possible.
Can you help me navigate the insurance claim process for roof damage?
Absolutely. After our inspection, we create a detailed damage report with photos, measurements, and repair estimates in Xactimate—the software most insurance adjusters use. We’ll meet the adjuster on-site if requested, clarify building code requirements specific to Monteagle and Marion/Grundy counties, and review the insurance scope to ensure all necessary items are covered. Once the claim is approved, we’ll schedule repairs around your availability and handle any supplemental documentation your carrier may need.
