FAQs
How can I tell if my New Tazewell home needs a full roof replacement instead of a repair?
Several signs suggest a complete replacement is the smarter, longer-term solution: (1) Age—most asphalt shingle roofs last 18–22 years in East Tennessee’s mix of hot summers and freeze-thaw winters; (2) Widespread granule loss or curled/broken shingles visible from the ground; (3) Multiple active leaks or water stains in different areas of the attic or ceilings; (4) Hail or high-wind storm damage affecting more than 30 % of the roof surface; (5) Sagging decking or soft spots that indicate structural deterioration. During our free inspection we document all problem areas with photos and moisture readings so you can clearly see why a replacement may be recommended.
Which roofing materials perform best in the New Tazewell climate?
We install several options tested for our region’s heavy rain, occasional hail, and significant temperature swings: • Architectural asphalt shingles (Class 3 or Class 4 impact-rated) — the most popular, budget-friendly, and now available with "cool roof" granules to reflect UV. • Standing-seam metal — lasts 40–60 years, sheds snow quickly on steeper pitches, and resists algae growth in our humid summers. • Designer synthetic slate or shake — gives a premium look at half the weight of natural slate, with a 50-year limited warranty. We help you weigh initial cost, energy efficiency, curb appeal, and resale value before making a final choice.
How long will my roof replacement take and what steps do you take to protect my property?
A typical 1,500–2,500 sq ft shingle roof in New Tazewell takes 1–2 days to tear off and replace; complex roofs or metal systems may require up to 4 days. We begin each morning at 7:30 a.m. and perform a strict end-of-day cleanup. To safeguard landscaping, windows, and siding we: • Lay breathable tarps from the gutter line to the ground. • Use plywood barricades around delicate shrubs. • Employ a magnetic sweep twice daily to pick up stray nails. • Assign one crew member to constant ground watch so debris never piles up.
Do I need a permit for roof replacement in New Tazewell and will you handle inspections?
Yes. The City of New Tazewell follows Claiborne County’s adoption of the 2018 International Residential Code. A building permit is required any time more than 25 % of a roof is replaced. Our office secures the permit, schedules both the in-progress nailing inspection (if requested) and the final inspection, and provides you with the signed approval card for your records. All fees are included in our proposal—no surprise add-ons.
What does a roof replacement cost locally and do you offer financing or insurance-claim help?
For a straightforward 1,800 sq ft asphalt shingle roof you can expect $6,500–$9,500 depending on shingle grade and ventilation upgrades. Premium architectural or Class 4 impact shingles range $8,500–$12,000, while standing-seam metal usually falls between $14,000–$22,000. We partner with lenders offering 0 % interest for 12 months or low-fixed-rate terms up to 120 months. If your roof was damaged by wind or hail, we provide free storm reports, meet the adjuster on-site, and use the same Xactimate software insurers rely on to ensure you receive full replacement value.
What warranties do you provide and how do I maintain my new roof?
Because we are a certified installer with GAF and CertainTeed, you receive a 30- to 50-year manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty plus our own 10-year workmanship guarantee that covers labor, flashings, and leak-related interior repairs. To keep the warranty valid: (1) Schedule a professional roof and attic ventilation check every 2–3 years; (2) Keep gutters clear so water can drain properly; (3) Trim back overhanging branches to reduce debris buildup; (4) After severe storms, call us for a complimentary inspection—small issues addressed quickly prevent costly surprises later.
