FAQs
What are the most common signs of shingle damage I should look for on my Sharps Chapel home?
Look for missing or curled shingles, cracked tabs, exposed nail heads, granule loss that leaves bald spots, dark streaks or wet patches on the roof, and shingle pieces in your gutters or yard. Inside the house, watch for water stains on ceilings or walls, musty odors in the attic, and daylight showing through the roof boards.
How quickly should I repair damaged shingles in our East Tennessee climate?
As soon as possible. Sharps Chapel’s mix of strong UV exposure, sudden thunderstorms, and winter freeze-thaw cycles can widen small shingle cracks and allow water to penetrate the roof deck. Prompt repairs prevent leaks, rot, mold growth, and higher repair costs later. A minor shingle fix today can save you from a partial or full roof replacement down the road.
Will a shingle repair match the color of my existing roof?
In many cases, yes. We keep a stock of popular shingle brands and colors used throughout Union County. If your exact color has faded or the manufacturer discontinued it, we can blend new shingles from the same color family and install them in less-visible areas for a seamless look. We also offer complete re-shingle options if a perfect color match is critical.
How much does shingle repair typically cost in Sharps Chapel?
Costs vary by roof slope, height, and the number of shingles involved, but small repairs usually range from $250–$600. Larger patch jobs or repairs that require new underlayment, flashing, or decking can run $600–$1,500. After an on-site inspection, we give you a written estimate that itemizes materials, labor, and any optional upgrades.
Can I file an insurance claim for storm-damaged shingles?
Yes, if wind, hail, or falling debris from a storm caused the damage. First, document the date of the storm, take clear photos of the damaged shingles, and call your insurer to start a claim. We provide a free storm-damage inspection, detailed report, and, if requested, we’ll meet with your adjuster to verify the scope of work. You’re only responsible for your policy deductible once the claim is approved.
Is repairing damaged shingles enough, or should I consider a full roof replacement?
If the damage is limited to one section, the roof is under 15 years old, and the underlying deck is sound, a localized repair is usually sufficient. However, if you notice widespread curling, multiple leaks, significant granule loss, or your roof is over 20 years old, investing in a full replacement may be more cost-effective and will give you a new manufacturer warranty. We’ll always present both options and help you weigh long-term value, energy efficiency, and resale impact.
