FAQs
What causes the edges of my shingles to curl, and why is it a problem?
Curling usually happens when shingles reach the end of their service life, but it can also be triggered by poor attic ventilation, multiple roof layers, improper installation, or sustained moisture exposure. As the edges curl upward or downward, they expose the underlayment and decking to rain, wind-driven moisture, and UV rays. This accelerates leaks, rot, and energy loss, so prompt assessment and, often, replacement are essential.
How do I know if curling shingle edges mean I need a full roof replacement in Sequatchie?
If curling is widespread—covering more than 25–30 % of the roof—or accompanied by bald spots, granule loss, or active leaks, replacement is usually more economical than piecemeal repairs. We offer free on-site inspections in Sequatchie County. Our technician checks shingle condition, flashings, decking integrity, and attic ventilation. We then provide a photo-documented report so you can decide with confidence whether repairs or full replacement make the most sense.
What roof replacement options do you offer for homes in Sequatchie dealing with curling shingles?
We install architectural asphalt shingles, metal roofing, synthetic slate, and impact-resistant designer shingles. Architectural asphalt remains the most popular because it balances cost, durability (25–30 years), and curb appeal. Metal roofs last 40–70 years and reflect heat, which is helpful during Sequatchie’s hot summers. All systems we install meet local building codes, include high-performance underlayments, ice-and-water shields in vulnerable valleys, and ridge ventilation to prevent future curling.
How long does a typical roof replacement take, and will weather in Sequatchie affect the schedule?
Most single-family homes can be completed in 1–3 days, including tear-off, deck inspection, and new installation. Sequatchie’s climate is generally cooperative, but pop-up summer thunderstorms or winter cold snaps can cause short delays. We monitor local forecasts and schedule work during favorable windows, covering exposed areas with waterproof tarps if weather shifts unexpectedly.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of replacing a roof with curling edges?
Insurance usually covers sudden, accidental damage (hail, wind, fallen trees). Curling from age or poor ventilation is considered normal wear and tear, so it is typically not covered. However, if curling shingles allowed wind-driven rain intrusion or were worsened by a recent storm, you may have partial coverage. We provide detailed inspection reports and can meet with your adjuster to help document the claim.
What can I do to prevent my new roof from developing curling edges in the future?
1) Ensure proper attic ventilation (balanced intake at the soffits and exhaust at the ridge). 2) Keep insulation levels consistent to minimize heat buildup. 3) Schedule annual roof inspections to catch minor issues before they spread. 4) Clean gutters each spring and fall so backed-up water can’t wick under shingles. 5) Use only manufacturer-approved fasteners and follow recommended installation temperatures—our crews adhere to these best practices on every Sequatchie project.
