FAQs
What makes a shingle "high-performance," and why is it the best choice for Sequatchie roofs?
High-performance shingles are engineered with reinforced fiberglass mats, thicker asphalt coatings, and advanced granule technology. This construction gives them Class 4 impact resistance, 130 mph wind ratings, and superior UV protection—all crucial in Sequatchie, where severe thunderstorms, occasional hail, and strong valley winds are common. They also contain algae-resistant copper granules that prevent staining in our humid climate, keeping roofs looking new for years.
How long can I expect a high-performance shingle roof to last in Sequatchie?
When installed by a certified crew and properly ventilated, high-performance architectural shingles typically last 30–50 years. Sequatchie’s moderate winters help minimize freeze-thaw damage, while the shingles’ enhanced asphalt formulation resists the region’s summer heat. Routine inspections after major storms and simple maintenance—such as clearing debris from valleys and gutters—will help you reach the upper end of that lifespan.
What is the timeline and process for a complete roof replacement?
Most Sequatchie homes are finished in 1–3 days. Day 1: we deliver materials, protect landscaping, remove old shingles, and inspect the decking. Day 2: we install underlayment, ice-and-water shield in vulnerable areas, new flashing, and the high-performance shingles using six-nail patterns for maximum wind hold. Day 3 (if needed): we add ridge vents, paint exposed metals, perform a magnetic nail sweep, and do a final walk-through with you. Weather delays are rare because these shingles can be installed in temperatures as low as 40 °F.
Will upgrading to high-performance shingles improve my home’s energy efficiency and resale value?
Yes. Many high-performance lines carry ENERGY STAR® cool-roof granules that reflect more solar heat, reducing attic temperatures by up to 20 °F and cutting summer cooling bills 5–15 %. Because they come with bold shadow lines and designer colors, appraisers often add 5–7 % to a home’s market value after installation. Insurance carriers may also lower premiums thanks to the Class 4 impact rating.
What warranty coverage is available for high-performance shingle roofs?
Manufacturers offer limited lifetime warranties (often defined as 50 years for the first owner) that cover manufacturing defects and algae resistance for 10–15 years. When we, as certified installers, register your job, you receive upgraded "System" or "Platinum" warranties that make the coverage non-prorated for 25–50 years and include workmanship protection for 10–25 years—meaning both materials and labor are covered if a problem arises.
How much does a high-performance shingle roof replacement cost in Sequatchie, and do you offer financing?
Costs generally range from $4.50 to $7.50 per square foot, depending on roof complexity, tear-off layers, and the specific shingle line you choose. For an average 2,000 sq ft roof, that’s $9,000–$15,000. We provide free, itemized estimates and several financing options: zero-interest if paid in 12 months, low-interest loans up to 120 months, and convenient monthly payments as low as $99. We also help you file insurance claims if storm damage is involved.
