FAQs
What does the free initial roof inspection include?
Our complimentary inspection covers a full exterior and interior evaluation of your roofing system. We look for missing or damaged shingles, flashing issues, soft spots in decking, attic ventilation problems, signs of moisture or mold, and gutter or fascia damage. We document everything with photos and written notes, explain our findings on-site, and provide a no-obligation estimate if repairs or replacement are needed.
How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced or just repaired?
During the inspection we assess the age of the roof, extent of shingle granule loss, number and severity of leaks, and underlying deck integrity. If damage is localized and the roof is relatively young, a repair is often sufficient. However, if your roof is 15–20 years old, has widespread granule loss, multiple leaks, or structural decking issues, replacement is usually more cost-effective and carries longer warranties.
How long does a typical roof replacement take in Monteagle?
Most single-family homes in Monteagle can be reroofed in one to two days once materials are on-site. Larger or more complex roofs, slate or metal conversions, and weather delays can push the timeline to three to four days. We schedule work around Monteagle’s frequent summer showers, keep you updated daily, and perform a full cleanup—including magnet sweep for nails—before final walkthrough.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of a roof replacement?
Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of damage. Insurance generally pays for replacement when wind, hail, or falling debris has compromised the roof. Wear-and-tear or age-related failure is usually excluded. We provide detailed inspection reports, photos, and Xactimate estimates to help you file a claim, and we can meet with the adjuster on-site to ensure all storm-related damage is documented accurately.
What roofing materials do you recommend for homes in Monteagle’s climate?
Monteagle’s mix of hot summers, heavy rain, and occasional ice storms requires durable, well-ventilated systems. We often recommend impact-rated architectural asphalt shingles for affordability and hail resistance, standing-seam metal for longevity (40–70 years), or synthetic slate for upscale looks with lower weight. All options include proper underlayment, ice-and-water shield in valleys, and ridge ventilation to handle our region’s moisture and temperature swings.
How do I schedule a free inspection and what happens next?
Call us, submit the online form, or stop by our Monteagle office. We’ll set a convenient time, usually within 48 hours. After the inspection we email you a detailed report and estimate within one business day. If you decide to proceed, we finalize material choices, pull any necessary permits, schedule the work, and keep you informed from start to finish. If you’re not ready, the inspection and report are still yours at no charge.
