FAQs
What makes your Watertight Roofing System ideal for homes in Oliver Springs?
Oliver Springs sits in the Tennessee Valley, an area that sees heavy spring downpours, high summer humidity, and freeze-thaw cycles in winter. Our Watertight Roofing System is engineered for this exact climate. We install Ice-&-Water shield in all valleys and along the eaves, use Class 3 or Class 4 impact-rated shingles or 26-gauge standing-seam metal, and finish every roof with a breathable synthetic underlayment that sheds moisture while allowing trapped vapor to escape. Paired with seamless, properly sized gutters, the system moves water off your roof and away from your foundation even during the heaviest mountain storms.
How do I know if my gutters need replacement rather than a simple repair?
Signs that point toward full gutter replacement include: 1) frequent overflow even after cleaning, 2) visible seams that have separated or pulled away from the fascia, 3) rust or pin-holes letting water leak behind the gutter, 4) sagging or back-pitched sections, and 5) fascia rot or mold on siding caused by chronic leaks. During your free inspection we run water through every section, use a thermal camera to spot hidden moisture, and give you a written recommendation—repair if the system is structurally sound, replacement if more than 30 % of the linear footage is compromised.
What materials do you use for new gutters, and how long will they last?
We install 6-inch K-style seamless aluminum gutters, fabricated on-site to the exact length of each run, with baked-on polyester paint that resists chalking and fading for 25+ years. For customers in wooded areas prone to clogging, we add stainless-steel micro-mesh guards that block debris down to pine needles. If you prefer an upgrade, we also offer 24-gauge galvanized or copper half-round systems. Life expectancy is 25–30 years for aluminum, 35–40 for steel, and 50+ for copper when cleaned twice a year.
Will a new gutter system really protect my foundation and landscaping?
Yes. A properly sized and pitched gutter system channels more than a thousand gallons of rainwater away from your home during a typical Oliver Springs thunderstorm. By directing that flow into downspouts that empty at least 3–4 ft from the foundation—preferably into buried drain lines—you prevent hydrostatic pressure that causes basement seepage, slab cracking, and soil erosion. Our crews also install optional splash blocks or pop-up emitters to disperse water gently so newly planted shrubs and mulch beds aren’t washed out.
How long does a complete roof and gutter replacement take, and do I need to be home?
For an average 2,000 sq ft single-story home, roof tear-off and installation take 1–2 days for asphalt shingles or 2–3 days for standing-seam metal. Seamless gutters are hung the next morning, so most full projects wrap up within 3 working days. You do not have to stay home; many clients work or travel while we send daily photo updates and keep the site secured each evening. We only need interior attic access at the start for ventilation checks and at the end for a final leak inspection.
What warranties and financing options are available?
All shingle roofs include a 30-year manufacturer’s warranty and our 15-year leak-free workmanship guarantee. Metal roofs carry a 40-year color-fast warranty and lifetime workmanship coverage. Seamless aluminum gutters are warranted for 25 years against rust and 5 years against installation defects. We partner with regional credit unions to offer 0 % interest for 12 months or low-fixed 5-, 10-, and 15-year terms, with approvals typically in under 15 minutes. Military, first-responder, and senior discounts are also available.
