FAQs
What does it mean to be a "factory-certified" roofing installer in Sewanee?
A factory-certified installer has been trained, tested, and approved by the shingle manufacturer to install their products to exact specifications. In Sewanee, this certification means our crews follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for steep-slope roofing, ventilation, and flashing, which preserves your warranty and ensures your new roof meets local building codes and the valley’s unique weather demands.
How long does a typical roof replacement take for an average-sized home in Sewanee?
Most asphalt-shingle roof replacements in Sewanee take 1–3 days, weather permitting. Day 1 is dedicated to tear-off and deck inspection, day 2 to installing underlayment, flashing, and starter courses, and any remaining time to shingle installation and site clean-up. Larger homes, specialty materials, or unforeseen deck repairs can extend the timeline, but we’ll provide a detailed schedule during your estimate.
Will a factory-certified installation affect my roof warranty?
Yes—in a positive way. Manufacturers like GAF or CertainTeed offer enhanced warranties only when their products are installed by certified contractors. Because we are factory-certified, you may qualify for 25- to 50-year non-prorated coverage on both materials and labor. An uncertified install could void parts of the warranty or reduce its term, so certification provides added protection for your investment.
What roofing materials do you recommend for Sewanee’s climate?
Sewanee’s elevation on the Cumberland Plateau brings high winds, heavy rains, and occasional ice storms. We typically recommend architectural or designer asphalt shingles with a 130-mph wind rating and algae-resistant granules. Metal roofing is also popular for its durability and energy efficiency. During your consultation we’ll review your home’s pitch, budget, and aesthetic goals to select the material that offers the best performance for local weather patterns.
How do you ensure the job site is safe and my property is protected?
Safety and cleanliness are integral to our certification. We deploy OSHA-compliant fall-protection systems, tarp landscaping, cover gutters, and use a magnetic roller at the end of each workday to collect nails. Dump trailers are placed on plywood to prevent driveway damage, and our foreman performs a multi-point inspection before deeming the site complete. You receive a digital photo report showing every major step, so you can verify our protective measures.
Do you offer financing or help with insurance claims for roof replacements?
Absolutely. We partner with local lenders to provide low-interest financing with terms from 6 to 120 months, allowing you to spread payments over a comfortable period. If storm damage is involved, our HAAG-certified inspectors can meet with your adjuster, document damage, and submit all required paperwork to streamline the claim process. This ensures you receive the full benefits you’re entitled to without the headache.
