FAQs
How can I tell if my Ooltewah home needs a full roof replacement instead of a repair?
Several warning signs point to replacement: (1) shingles that are curling, cupping, cracked, or missing in multiple areas; (2) widespread granule loss that leaves the mat exposed; (3) roof leaks that appear in different rooms or after every heavy rain; (4) visible sagging in the decking; and (5) a roof age of 18–25 years for asphalt shingles or 35–40 years for metal. Because Ooltewah experiences strong summer storms and the occasional hail event, deterioration can accelerate. Our technicians will perform a free, no-obligation inspection and provide photos so you can see whether repairs are still feasible or if replacement will be the more cost-effective, longer-term solution.
Which roofing materials do you recommend for curb appeal in Ooltewah’s climate?
For most homes we suggest three options: (1) Architectural asphalt shingles—economical, attractive, and rated to withstand 130 mph winds. They come in designer colors that complement brick, stone, and siding common in Ooltewah neighborhoods. (2) Metal roofing—standing-seam aluminum or steel lasts 40–70 years, reflects heat, and resists mildew in our humid summers. (3) Synthetic slate or shake—lightweight products that mimic high-end natural materials without the weight or maintenance. All three carry Class A fire ratings and limited lifetime manufacturer warranties. During our consultation we show large samples against your exterior so you can visualize the curb-appeal upgrade before you decide.
How long will the roof replacement take and what is your installation process?
A typical single-family roof in Ooltewah (2,000–3,000 sq ft) takes 1–2 days from tear-off to final cleanup. Larger or more complex roofs may take up to three days. Our process: 1) Schedule & permit—We pull any required Hamilton County permits and call in utility locates. 2) Property protection—We set up tarps, plywood, and a covered dump trailer to shield landscaping and siding. 3) Tear-off—Old shingles and underlayment are removed down to the decking. 4) Decking inspection—We replace any rotten or delaminated boards. 5) Weatherproofing—Ice- & water-shield is installed in valleys and along eaves; synthetic underlayment covers the remainder. 6) New roofing—Shingles or panels are installed following manufacturer specs for wind warranty. 7) Ventilation & flashing—We add ridge vents, pipe boots, and metal flashings. 8) Cleanup & magnet sweep—All nails and debris are removed. 9) Final walkthrough—You receive a workmanship warranty certificate and photos for your records.
Will a new roof actually improve my home’s curb appeal and resale value?
Yes. A 2023 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report shows that an asphalt shingle roof replacement in the South recoups about 61 % of its cost at resale, while metal roofing recoups over 80 %. More importantly, Realtors say a new roof is one of the top exterior features that attracts buyers online and in person. Fresh, color-blended shingles or sleek standing-seam panels instantly modernize your façade, and prospective buyers gain confidence knowing they won’t face major roof expenses for decades. Even if you’re not selling soon, enhanced curb appeal boosts neighborhood aesthetics and can lead to lower homeowners-insurance premiums due to reduced risk.
How much does roof replacement cost in Ooltewah, and do you offer financing?
Costs vary based on roof size, pitch, and material. For 2024, most architectural shingle replacements run $4.25–$6.00 per square foot, while metal ranges from $8.00–$12.00 per square foot. The exact figure includes tear-off, disposal, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and our 10-year workmanship warranty—no hidden fees. We provide a detailed written quote the same day as the inspection. To make the project affordable, we partner with local banks and national lenders to offer 0 % interest plans for 12–18 months or low-fixed-rate terms up to 144 months. We also guide homeowners through insurance claims when storm damage is involved, helping maximize coverage and minimize out-of-pocket costs.
Are you licensed and insured, and do you handle permits, warranties, and cleanup?
Absolutely. Curb Appeal Roofing holds a Tennessee Home Improvement license (#HI-XXXX) and carries $2 million in general liability plus full workers’ compensation coverages—proof provided with every estimate. We secure all Hamilton County building permits, schedule required inspections, and follow the 2018 IRC codes adopted locally. After completion you receive: (1) a manufacturer’s limited lifetime material warranty (transferable once within 10 years), (2) our 10-year labor warranty covering installation-related defects, and (3) a notarized lien waiver showing all suppliers have been paid. A final magnetic sweep of your lawn, driveway, and flowerbeds is included, and we guarantee you won’t find stray nails—if you do, we return within 24 hours to remove them.
