FAQs
What does “transparent estimates roofing” mean for homeowners in Sharps Chapel?
Transparency means you see every cost, product choice, and timeline up front—before you sign anything. Our estimators inspect your roof, photograph any issues, and then create an item-by-item proposal that lists labor, materials, permits, cleanup, and taxes separately. Nothing is bundled or hidden, so you can compare our quote with others and know exactly where every dollar goes.
How do you prepare and deliver your roofing estimates?
After scheduling a convenient appointment, we perform a 20- to 40-minute on-site evaluation that includes attic inspection, drone imagery (when allowed), and moisture readings. Within 24 hours we email you a digital estimate and, if requested, hand-deliver a printed copy. The document contains pictures taken during the inspection, recommended repair or replacement options, pricing for each option, and a projected start/finish schedule. We happily walk you through the estimate line by line and answer follow-up questions as many times as needed.
Are your written estimates really free and without obligation?
Yes. You pay nothing for the inspection or the written proposal, and receiving an estimate does NOT obligate you to hire us. We keep the quote on file for 30 days, giving you ample time to compare bids, consult with family, or secure financing. If you decide to postpone the project, that’s perfectly fine—no pressure and no sales calls beyond a single courtesy follow-up.
What roofing materials and systems do you install in the Sharps Chapel area?
We are certified installers for architectural asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal panels, stone-coated steel, synthetic slate, TPO, and EPDM flat-roof membranes. Because Sharps Chapel experiences high humidity and occasional high winds from Norris Lake, we recommend class 3 or 4 impact-rated shingles or 24-gauge metal for superior durability. All materials are sourced from trusted manufacturers such as GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and McElroy Metal, and each product’s warranty is outlined in your estimate.
How long will my roofing project take from estimate to completion?
Most shingle tear-off and replacements on single-family homes are completed within 1–2 days once materials are delivered. Metal or complex multi-plane roofs can take 3–5 days. After you approve the estimate, we secure permits and place material orders within two business days. Typical lead time to start is 1–2 weeks, although emergency repairs can begin the same day. Your estimate includes a written timeline, and we update you immediately if weather or supply issues cause any changes.
How do you ensure quality workmanship and stand behind your work?
Every crew is led by a factory-trained foreman who follows a 50-point installation checklist. We photograph critical milestones—deck inspection, underlayment, flashing, ridge ventilation—and share those images with you upon completion. All labor is guaranteed for 10 years, and manufacturer warranties range from 25 years to lifetime, depending on the material chosen. In the unlikely event of a leak or workmanship issue, we respond within 24 hours and fix it at no charge. Annual maintenance inspections are available to keep your warranty intact and extend roof life.
