FAQs
What types of roofing services does Mountain Winds Roofing offer in Sewanee?
We provide full-service residential and light-commercial roofing, including new roof installation, tear-offs and replacements, leak detection and repair, routine maintenance programs, storm-damage restoration, skylight/flashing installation, and gutter work. We are certified to install asphalt shingles, metal panels, standing-seam roofs, cedar shakes, and low-slope membrane systems, allowing us to match the best material to Sewanee’s mountain climate and your budget.
How do I know if I need a complete roof replacement or just repairs?
Our technicians begin every project with a complimentary on-site inspection that covers shingles/metal panels, underlayment, decking, flashing, vents, and attic ventilation. We look for granule loss, curling, rust, soft decking, interior water stains, and wind uplift. If damage is isolated (under 25 % of the roof) and the remaining system is sound, targeted repairs are often sufficient. Widespread shingle failure, multiple leaks, or roofs older than 15–20 years typically warrant a full replacement to ensure long-term protection and warranty coverage.
How much does a new roof cost in Sewanee?
Prices vary with material, roof size/pitch, and any structural repairs. On average in Sewanee: 3-tab asphalt shingles run $4.25–$5.75 per sq ft installed, architectural shingles $5.50–$7.25, and standing-seam metal $8.50–$12.00. A 2,000 sq ft architectural-shingle roof might cost $11,000–$14,500. We provide itemized written quotes after inspection, and financing options with low monthly payments are available through our lending partners.
What warranties do you provide on your roofing work?
Mountain Winds Roofing is a CertainTeed ShingleMaster™ and a Drexel Metals certified installer, so we can offer manufacturer-backed warranties up to 50 years on materials and 10–25 years on workmanship, depending on the system selected. All replacements come with our own 10-year labor guarantee, meaning if anything tied to our installation fails, we fix it at no cost.
How long will my roofing project take?
Most residential tear-off and replacement jobs in Sewanee are completed in 1–3 days, weather permitting. Metal or complex roofs may take 4–6 days. We schedule material deliveries in advance, use larger crews when necessary, and protect landscaping with tarps and catch devices. You’ll receive a detailed timeline before work begins and daily progress updates from your project manager.
Do you offer emergency storm-damage service?
Yes. Because Sewanee is prone to high winds and sudden mountain storms, we provide 24/7 emergency response. Our crew can be on-site within hours to tarp exposed areas, stop active leaks, and document damage for insurance purposes. We also work directly with insurers, supplying estimates, photos, and scope of loss reports to streamline your claim and get permanent repairs scheduled quickly.
