FAQs
What is composite roofing and why is it a good choice for homes in Sharps Chapel?
Composite roofing is made from a blend of fiberglass mat, recycled plastics, mineral fillers, and high-grade asphalt that is molded to look like slate, cedar shake, or traditional shingles. For Sharps Chapel homeowners, it offers several advantages: it is lightweight enough for older structures on Norris Lake, highly resistant to algae and UV fading in Tennessee’s humid summers, and durable against the hail and strong winds that roll off the nearby mountains. Aesthetically, it delivers the look of premium materials at a lower weight and cost, enhancing curb appeal without the maintenance headaches of wood or true slate.
How long does composite roofing typically last and what maintenance does it require?
Quality composite shingles carry warranties of 30–50 years, and with proper care many roofs last even longer. Maintenance is minimal: schedule an annual inspection, keep gutters clear to prevent water backup, and promptly remove debris such as limbs or wet leaves. If a shingle is damaged, it can be individually replaced without disturbing the surrounding roof. Compared with standard asphalt roofs, which often need replacement after 15–20 years, composite delivers a much longer service life for only modest upkeep.
Are composite shingles and siding resistant to the severe weather we experience in East Tennessee?
Yes. Most major composite products carry a Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—meaning they withstand hail up to 2" in diameter without cracking. They’re also rated to resist winds of 110–130 mph, more than enough for the sudden storms that sweep through Sharps Chapel. A Class A fire rating, embedded UV inhibitors, and built-in anti-algae technology further protect your home from blazing summer sun, high humidity, and the occasional winter snow load.
How does the cost of composite roofing compare with asphalt shingles or metal roofs?
Composite roofing typically costs 20–40 percent more than an architectural asphalt roof but 30–40 percent less than standing seam metal, natural slate, or cedar shake. When you factor in its 30- to 50-year lifespan and limited maintenance needs, the total life-cycle cost is often lower than asphalt, which may require two full replacements over the same time period. Many insurers also offer discounts for Class 4 impact-rated roofs, trimming ongoing homeowner expenses.
Can you match my existing home’s color and style with composite roofing and siding options?
Absolutely. Composite manufacturers offer dozens of pre-blended colors along with realistic textures that mimic slate, shake, or board-and-batten siding. We carry physical samples and digital design tools so you can see how each profile will look against your brick, stone, or painted exterior. Custom color blends and staggered or uniform shingle patterns are available for historical properties, lake-front cabins, and modern builds alike, all with fade-resistant pigments that hold their hue for decades.
What is the installation process and how long will it take your team to replace my roof or siding in Sharps Chapel?
1) We begin with a free on-site inspection and detailed estimate. 2) Once approved, we order materials, pull any required county permits, and schedule the job. 3) On day one we protect landscaping, remove the old roof or siding, and repair any damaged decking or wall sheathing. 4) Composite materials are installed with manufacturer-specified fasteners and ventilation components over 1–3 days depending on home size. 5) A final cleanup with magnetic sweep, followed by our quality inspection, wraps up the project. Most Sharps Chapel roofs are completed within a week; full siding projects may add another 2–3 days. We include a 5- to 10-year workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer’s limited lifetime material warranty for your peace of mind.
