FAQs
What information is covered in your detailed roofing estimate?
Our written estimate breaks down every line item so you know exactly what you are paying for. It lists the scope of work (tear-off, decking repairs, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and cleanup), the square footage and number of roofing squares, the specific manufacturer, product line, and color being installed, labor hours, disposal fees, permit costs, and applicable taxes. We also include an estimated project timeline, warranty terms, and a section for any optional upgrades you may want to consider.
How long does it take to receive an estimate after the roof inspection?
In most cases you will have a digital and printed estimate within 24 hours of the on-site inspection. Because we create a fully itemized proposal, we use measurement software and photographs from your roof to double-check quantities before sending the final numbers. If your project is complex or you request multiple material options, we may need up to 48 hours, but we will let you know before we leave the property.
Are there any hidden costs I should worry about?
No. Everything we foresee is spelled out in the estimate, and the price you sign off on is the price you pay. The only scenario that could change the cost is the discovery of concealed structural damage (such as rotten decking) once the old roof is removed. If that happens, we stop work, document the problem with photos, and give you a signed change order before proceeding. You are never surprised with a bill at the end of the job.
What roofing materials do you recommend for homes in Monteagle’s climate?
Because Monteagle sees significant UV exposure, high winds on the plateau, and the occasional heavy snowfall, we generally recommend Class 3 or Class 4 impact-rated architectural shingles or standing-seam metal. Both options offer excellent wind resistance and carry longer manufacturer warranties (up to 50 years on metal). During your estimate we show side-by-side cost comparisons and energy-efficiency data so you can choose the material that best matches your budget and performance goals.
How do you make sure the roof is installed "Done Right" the first time?
Our crews are manufacturer-trained and certified, and we follow or exceed the current International Residential Code and shingle manufacturer guidelines. We install full-coverage synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield in valleys, upgraded metal drip edge, and proper ridge ventilation. A dedicated project manager stays on-site to monitor workmanship, take progress photos, and answer your questions. At completion we perform a 40-point quality checklist and register your manufacturer warranty.
Can you help with insurance claims and local permitting?
Absolutely. We are licensed, bonded, and insured to work in Monteagle and Franklin County. If your roof damage is storm-related, we provide documentation, photos, and the Xactimate estimate format preferred by most carriers and will meet your adjuster on-site if requested. We also pull all necessary city or county permits and include the associated fees in your estimate, so the paperwork is handled for you from start to finish.
