FAQs
What makes premium asphalt roofing a good choice for homes in Rockwood?
Premium asphalt shingles are engineered with multiple layers and higher-grade granules than standard shingles, giving them superior durability against Rockwood’s freeze–thaw cycles, summer heat, and occasional high-wind events off the mountain ridges. They also offer enhanced algae resistance, improved fire ratings, and a broader range of designer colors that can boost curb appeal without the heavier weight or higher cost of slate or metal.
How long can I expect a premium asphalt roof to last in Rockwood’s climate?
With proper installation and attic ventilation, premium architectural or designer asphalt shingles typically last 25–35 years in Rockwood. Their thicker laminations, SBS modifiers, and UV-blocking granules help them resist hail, wind gusts up to 130 mph, and the ultraviolet exposure common in East Tennessee, extending service life well beyond standard 3-tab shingles (15–20 years).
What is the average cost of a full asphalt roof replacement in Rockwood?
For most single-family homes, a premium asphalt roof replacement in Rockwood runs between $5.50 and $8.50 per square foot of roof area. That translates to roughly $11,000–$17,000 for a 2,000 sq ft roof (20 squares). Pricing varies with roof pitch, number of layers to tear off, selected shingle line, required decking repairs, and accessory upgrades like ridge-vent systems or copper flashing.
How long does the roof replacement process take from start to finish?
Once materials are on-site and weather permits, most Rockwood re-roofs are completed in 1–2 days. A typical timeline is: 1. Day 1 morning – protective tarps, full tear-off, decking inspection. 2. Day 1 afternoon – underlayment, ice-and-water shield, starter strips, shingle installation begins. 3. Day 2 – finish shingle installation, ridge vents, flashing, and site clean-up with magnetic nail sweep. The whole project—from the initial inspection to final city permit sign-off—usually spans 1–2 weeks, depending on material lead time and scheduling.
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in Rockwood, and will you handle it?
Yes. Rockwood requires a residential reroof permit to ensure compliance with the 2018 IRC and local wind-uplift codes. Our team pulls the permit on your behalf, schedules any required mid-roof or final inspections, and supplies you with documentation for your records and homeowners-insurance carrier.
What warranties are available for premium asphalt shingles installed by your company?
You receive two layers of protection: • Manufacturer warranty – Up to a Lifetime limited warranty on materials, plus 10–15 years of non-prorated coverage against manufacturing defects. • Workmanship warranty – Our company provides a 10-year labor warranty covering installation-related leaks, flashing failures, or wind damage up to the shingle’s rated speed. When we install an entire GAF or CertainTeed roofing system, you may be eligible for enhanced warranties that extend non-prorated coverage to 50 years and include tear-off and disposal costs.
