FAQs
What does it mean to be a factory-certified roofing installer, and why is it important for my Rutledge roof replacement?
Factory-certified installers are contractors who have been vetted, trained, and regularly audited by the shingle or roofing-system manufacturer. Certification confirms that we follow the manufacturer’s exact installation specifications, use genuine materials, and maintain proper licensing and insurance. For Rutledge homeowners this means: higher workmanship standards, eligibility for extended manufacturer warranties that non-certified contractors cannot offer, and assurance that your roof replacement will meet or exceed Georgia building codes from day one.
How long does a typical roof replacement take in Rutledge homes, and what factors can affect the timeline?
Most single-family homes in Rutledge can be completed in one to three days once materials are on-site. The timeline can expand if your roof is unusually large or steep, if we discover damaged decking or structural issues after tear-off, or if severe weather rolls through Morgan County. Because we are factory-certified, we arrive with a well-trained crew and a detailed installation plan, minimizing delays and ensuring your roof is dried-in before any evening rain chances.
What roofing materials do you offer, and how do I choose the best one for Rutledge’s climate?
We install architectural asphalt shingles, designer asphalt shingles, metal panels, synthetic slate, and specialty impact-resistant products. Rutledge’s hot summers, occasional hail, and humidity make proper ventilation and UV resistance critical. Architectural asphalt remains the most popular for its balance of cost, curb appeal, and 30-year lifespan. Metal and impact-resistant shingles provide longer life and potential insurance discounts if hail is a concern. During our consultation we inspect attic ventilation, discuss HOA requirements, and show you sample boards so you can compare color, warranty length, and price before deciding.
Will my new roof be covered by a warranty, and what does the warranty include?
Yes—every roof replacement comes with two layers of protection. 1) Manufacturer warranty: Because we are factory-certified, you qualify for a 30- to 50-year non-pro-rated warranty on materials and a 10- to 25-year workmanship warranty backed by the manufacturer. 2) Our labor guarantee: We also include a separate 5-year labor warranty that covers installation-related issues such as flashing or ventilation adjustments. All warranty paperwork is registered with the manufacturer immediately after final inspection, and you’ll receive a digital copy for your records.
How much will a roof replacement cost, and do you provide financing or insurance claim assistance?
In Rutledge, a standard architectural shingle roof replacement averages $4.25–$6.75 per square foot installed, depending on pitch, layers to remove, and selected shingle grade. Metal roofs typically run $8–$12 per square foot. We offer zero-down financing with terms up to 144 months and competitive APR options. If your roof was storm-damaged, our HAAG-certified inspectors will meet with the insurance adjuster, document damage, and help you navigate the claim so you only pay your deductible for covered losses.
Do I need permits for a roof replacement in Rutledge, and how do you protect my property during the project?
Yes. Morgan County requires a building permit for full roof replacements. Our office secures the permit, schedules inspections, and posts all documentation on-site so you don’t have to. On installation day we protect landscaping with tarps, set up a magnet-sweeping zone to catch nails, and bring a dedicated dump trailer so no dumpster sits on your driveway. We conduct a final walk-around with you, compare the work to the factory checklist, and leave your property cleaner than we found it.
