FAQs
What roofing materials are best suited for East Tennessee’s climate?
In Reliance and the surrounding East Tennessee region we see hot, humid summers, frequent thunderstorms, and the occasional winter freeze. Architectural asphalt shingles and standing-seam metal roofs are the two most popular choices because they handle rapid temperature swings, high winds, and heavy rain very well. Metal offers a 40–70-year life span and excellent energy efficiency, while premium asphalt shingles provide a more budget-friendly option with 25–30 years of service when properly installed. We also install impact-resistant shingles for extra hail protection and synthetic underlayments that help prevent moisture intrusion during our humid months.
How often should my roof be inspected in Reliance, TN?
Because our area experiences frequent thunderstorms and high humidity, we recommend a professional roof inspection at least once a year—preferably in the spring after winter freezes have passed. You should also schedule an inspection after any severe weather event that involves hail, high winds, or falling debris. Regular inspections help spot cracked shingles, loose flashing, and hidden leaks early, saving you from more costly repairs down the road.
Can you help with insurance claims for storm-related roof damage?
Yes. We work with all major insurance carriers and can guide you through the entire claims process—from documenting storm damage with detailed photos to meeting with the adjuster on-site. Our goal is to ensure that you receive the maximum coverage your policy allows and that repairs meet or exceed code requirements for Polk County. We also provide a clear, itemized estimate so you know exactly what the insurance company is paying for and what, if any, out-of-pocket costs you can expect.
How long does a typical roof replacement take?
For an average single-family home in Reliance, a full tear-off and replacement with architectural shingles is usually completed in one to two days, weather permitting. Metal roof installations can take two to four days because of the added precision in panel fabrication and fastening. We begin each project with a detailed timeline, protect your landscaping and gutters with specialized shields, and perform a full magnetic nail sweep so your property is left clean and safe.
Do you offer emergency roof repair services in Reliance?
Absolutely. Storms can roll through the Cherokee National Forest with little warning, so we maintain a 24/7 emergency response team. We can deploy tarps, remove fallen limbs, and perform temporary patching within hours of your call to prevent further water intrusion. Once the roof is stabilized, we provide a detailed repair or replacement plan and coordinate with your insurance company if a claim is warranted.
What warranties do you provide on new roof installations?
All shingle roofs come with a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty on the materials and our own 10-year workmanship warranty that covers installation-related issues such as leaks or flashing failures. Standing-seam metal roofs carry material warranties up to 40 years against fading, chalking, and corrosion, plus the same 10-year workmanship coverage. We also offer optional extended system warranties through CertainTeed and GAF that include 25-year labor protection for added peace of mind.
