FAQs
What makes your storm-rated roofing materials different from standard shingles?
Our storm-rated systems are engineered and independently tested to withstand high winds, hail impact, driving rain, and sudden temperature swings common in the Petros area. Thicker asphalt mats, reinforced nailing zones, Class 4 impact-resistant surfacing, and specially designed starter and ridge components give the roof up to a 130-mph wind warranty and superior hail protection compared with traditional 3-tab or architectural shingles.
How soon after a storm should I schedule an inspection?
Ideally within 24-72 hours. Damage that looks minor—such as loose granules or lifted edges—can let water penetrate under the shingle and cause decking rot or attic leaks. A prompt, professional inspection documents the condition for insurance purposes and allows us to install temporary mitigation (tarps, sealant) if a full replacement can’t be done immediately.
Will you work with my insurance company during the storm-damage claim?
Yes. Once we complete a free on-site assessment, we generate a detailed report with photographs, measurements, and an itemized estimate in Xactimate format. We then meet the adjuster on-site, review code requirements for Oak Ridge-area jurisdictions, and negotiate any supplemental items so you receive the full payout your policy allows. You only pay your deductible—no hidden fees.
Can you upgrade me to impact-resistant shingles even if my original roof wasn’t?
Absolutely. Tennessee building code lets homeowners select higher-grade materials during a storm-related replacement. Many insurance carriers give a premium discount—sometimes 20%—when Class 4 shingles are installed. We’ll present several upgrade options, show manufacturer brochures, and explain the long-term cost savings versus the small additional out-of-pocket expense.
How long does a typical storm-damage roof replacement take in Petros?
Most single-family homes (2,500 sq ft or less) are completed in one day. Our crew removes old shingles, checks decking, installs synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield in valleys, and the high-wind/impact-rated shingles with matching accessories. Larger or complex roofs may take two days, but we always secure the site each evening and haul away debris with our own dump trailers.
What kind of warranties come with your storm-rated roofing systems?
You receive two layers of coverage: 1) A manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty, which includes at least 15 years of non-prorated protection against manufacturing defects and 130-mph wind coverage. 2) Our 10-year workmanship warranty that covers leaks caused by installation errors—transferable once if you sell the home within that period. Registering the roof online activates both warranties and simplifies future claims.
