FAQs
What types of minor roof repairs do you handle in Oak Ridge?
Our team specializes in fixing small-scale issues that, if left unattended, can lead to expensive damage. Common services include shingle replacement, sealing nail pops, resealing flashing around chimneys and skylights, repairing small membrane punctures on flat roofs, tightening loose drip edges, re-caulking vents, and correcting minor storm or wind damage. Because Oak Ridge experiences frequent spring storms and summer heat, we also address heat-related shingle blistering and storm-blown debris impacts.
How can I tell if my roof needs minor repairs instead of a full replacement?
Signs that a roof is a candidate for minor repair rather than full replacement include: (1) isolated leaks or stains on ceilings, (2) a few missing or cracked shingles, (3) small areas of lifted flashing, (4) granule loss that is limited to a specific slope, and (5) no widespread sagging or structural deterioration. If your roof is under 15–20 years old and the decking is sound, targeted repairs are usually adequate. We offer free inspections in Oak Ridge and will document the roof’s condition with photos so you can make an informed decision.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency roof leak in Oak Ridge?
We provide same-day emergency service for active leaks discovered before noon and next-day service for calls received later in the day. Our Oak Ridge-based crews keep stocked trucks within a 15-mile radius, allowing us to tackle most urgent issues—such as tarping, temporary patching, or replacing a few shingles—within 24 hours. Permanent repairs are typically completed within 2–3 business days once weather permits and materials arrive.
Are permits required for minor roof repairs in Oak Ridge, and will you handle them?
Oak Ridge city code generally does not require a building permit for repair work covering less than 100 square feet or that does not involve structural modifications. However, if repairs affect structural decking, involve reroofing over an entire slope, or occur in a historic district, the city may require a permit or inspection. We stay current with all local regulations, and if a permit is needed, we handle the paperwork and schedule inspections at no additional cost to you.
What roofing materials do you work with, and can you match my existing shingles?
We service asphalt shingles (3-tab and architectural), metal panels, flat roof membranes (EPDM/TPO), and low-slope modified bitumen. For shingle roofs, we maintain inventory from leading manufacturers such as GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, making it possible to color-match most roofs that are less than 10 years old. If the original shingle has been discontinued, we will provide the closest available match and blend repairs in less noticeable areas to maintain curb appeal.
Do you offer warranties on minor repair work, and what does it cover?
Yes. All minor repairs come with a 2-year workmanship warranty that covers any defect in our installation, plus any manufacturer warranty remaining on replacement shingles or flashing components. If the repaired area leaks or fails within that period, we will fix it at no cost. We also provide optional extended maintenance plans that include annual roof checkups and gutter cleaning to prolong the life of your roof in Oak Ridge’s humid climate.
