FAQs
How do I know if my New Tazewell home needs a full roof replacement or just a repair?
Our free inspection looks for widespread shingle loss, curling or blistering, granule buildup in gutters, soft or rotted decking, multiple active leaks, and storm or hail damage. If more than 25-30 % of the roof surface is compromised, or if the shingles are near the end of their 20-25-year life span, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective and provides better long-term protection than piecemeal repairs.
What roofing materials do you recommend for New Tazewell’s climate, and why?
Most homeowners choose architectural asphalt shingles for their balance of affordability, wind resistance up to 130 mph, and Class A fire rating. If you want maximum longevity, a standing-seam metal roof resists the region’s frequent freeze-thaw cycles, sheds snow quickly, and can last 40-60 years with minimal maintenance. We also install impact-rated shingles (Class 4) that stand up to the hail common in the Cumberland Gap area.
How long does a typical Stubborn Leak Roofing replacement project take?
After your inspection, you’ll receive a detailed quote within 24-48 hours. Once you approve it, we schedule the job, pull any Claiborne County permits, and order materials. On installation day the old roof is removed, deck repairs are made, and underlayment, flashing, and shingles/metal panels are installed. Most asphalt shingle roofs (up to 3,000 sq ft) are completed in 1–2 days, while complex metal or steep-slope installs may take 3–4 days. Final cleanup and magnetic nail sweep are always included.
Will my homeowners insurance cover the cost of roof replacement?
Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of damage. Storm-related issues (hail, wind, fallen limbs) are often covered if reported promptly. Age-related wear typically is not. We document damage with photos, meet with the adjuster on-site, and provide the detailed scope of work they need. If the claim is approved you pay only the deductible; if it isn’t, we can still offer financing options with low monthly payments.
How much should I budget for a roof replacement in New Tazewell?
Pricing depends on roof size, pitch, material, and decking condition. As a ballpark, architectural asphalt shingles run $4.50–$7.50 per square foot, so a 2,000 sq ft roof (20 squares) might range from $9,000 to $15,000. Standing-seam metal is $8–$13 per square foot ($16,000–$26,000 for the same roof). We provide written, itemized estimates, and offer multiple material tiers so you can choose what fits your budget.
What warranties and post-installation support do you provide?
You receive a 10-year Stubborn Leak Roofing workmanship warranty covering installation-related issues plus the manufacturer’s material warranty—typically 30 years for high-definition shingles and up to 40–50 years (or lifetime limited) for metal panels. We conduct a free annual inspection during the first three years to ensure flashing, sealants, and ventilation remain in top shape, and we are on call 24/7 for any emergency leak concerns.
