FAQs
What makes your master-level craftsmanship roofing service in Ooltewah different from other contractors?
Our crews are led by roofers who hold manufacturer-approved master certifications and have a minimum of 10 years of hands-on experience. Every project receives a dedicated project manager who performs a 47-point pre- and post-installation inspection, uses drone imaging to verify nailing patterns, and provides you with a digital photo report. Because we live and work in Ooltewah, we understand the local building codes, HOA requirements, and the weather stresses roofs face here, allowing us to build systems that routinely outlast the industry standard by 5–7 years.
Which roofing materials do you recommend for homes in Ooltewah’s climate, and why?
Ooltewah sits in a humid subtropical zone that sees heavy rain, high humidity, and the occasional hail or high-wind event. For most residences we suggest: • Architectural asphalt shingles with Class 3 or 4 impact ratings for cost-effective hail resistance. • Stone-coated steel for homeowners who want the look of tile or shake with a 50-year life span and excellent wind uplift resistance. • Standing-seam aluminum or Galvalume metal for low-slope porches and modern designs—these shed water quickly and reflect solar heat, reducing attic temperatures. We evaluate your roof pitch, ventilation, and budget at the consultation and provide side-by-side life-cycle cost comparisons so you can make an informed choice.
How long will my roof replacement take, and what does the installation process look like?
A typical single-family reroof in Ooltewah (2,000–3,000 sq ft) takes one to two days from tear-off to final inspection, weather permitting. The process: 1. Pre-job meeting to review access points, power sources, and landscaping protection. 2. Tear-off and magnetic sweep to remove all existing roofing and fasteners. 3. Deck inspection; any damaged sheathing is replaced to meet the Tennessee Residential Code. 4. Installation of ice-and-water shield along eaves and valleys, followed by synthetic underlayment over the entire deck. 5. Starter strips, shingles or metal panels, flashing, ridge vents, and accessories installed to manufacturer specs. 6. Drone and on-roof inspection, gutter cleaning, and a second magnetic sweep before you sign the completion certificate.
Are you licensed, insured, and do you back your work with warranties?
Yes. We hold a Tennessee Home Improvement Contractor license, carry $2 million in general liability coverage, and maintain full workers’ compensation on every employee—no subs. Because we are certified by GAF and CertainTeed at the Master level, we can register 50-year non-prorated material warranties and 25-year workmanship warranties that stay with the home even if it is sold. Metal systems include a 40- to 50-year manufacturer finish warranty and our own 15-year leak-free workmanship guarantee.
How do you protect my property and ensure job-site safety?
We set up landscape tarps and plywood shields around flowerbeds, HVAC units, and entryways; erect OSHA-compliant fall-protection harnesses and guardrails; and assign a ground crew to collect debris continuously. Dump trailers are placed on protective driveway boards to prevent cracking. At day’s end we perform a triple magnetic sweep and provide you with a safety checklist signed by the crew leader. Our EMR (Experience Modification Rate) is 0.79, well below the national average, indicating an excellent safety record.
What factors affect the cost of a new roof in Ooltewah, and how can I get an accurate quote?
Price is determined by roof size and pitch, material selection, deck condition, the number of penetrations (chimneys, skylights, vents), and whether code upgrades such as additional ventilation are required. Architectural shingles generally range from $4.50–$6.50 per square foot installed, while stone-coated steel or standing-seam metal runs $9–$14 per square foot. We offer free, no-pressure consultations that include a detailed written proposal, 3-D roof model, and financing options as low as 0% for 12 months.
