FAQs
What are the most common roof issues you repair in Shelbyville?
In Shelbyville we frequently repair storm-related shingle blow-offs, hail-pocked asphalt shingles, flashing leaks around chimneys and skylights, punctures caused by tree limbs, and age-related granule loss. The region’s hot, humid summers and occasional severe thunderstorms accelerate wear, so we focus on restoring watertight seals and reinforcing vulnerable areas to handle local weather patterns.
Which proven repair techniques do you use to ensure long-lasting results?
We follow manufacturer-approved methods that include: thermal-bonded shingle tab sealing, woven and step flashing replacement using corrosion-resistant metals, synthetic underlayment overlays for added moisture protection, closed-cell polyurethane sealant for small penetrations, and IR-camera moisture mapping to confirm all wet decking has been removed. Every repair is finished with a calibrated pneumatic nailing pattern that matches or exceeds factory specifications.
How do I know whether I need a repair or a full roof replacement?
During our free inspection we evaluate deck integrity, shingle condition, ventilation, and the percentage of affected area. If damage is localized (typically under 25% of the surface) and the remaining shingles are structurally sound, a targeted repair saves money and maximizes the life of your existing roof. If multiple planes are deteriorated, the deck is soft, or the roof is nearing the end of its expected lifespan, we recommend replacement. We provide photos and a detailed report so you can make an informed decision.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover roof repairs in Shelbyville?
Many policies cover sudden and accidental damage such as wind or hail, which are common here. We document damage with date-stamped photos, provide a written scope of work that aligns with insurance estimating software (Xactimate), and can meet your adjuster on-site to advocate for all code-required repairs. Routine wear and maintenance issues are usually not covered, so we always clarify which portions of the work qualify before you file a claim.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency roof leak?
Our local crew is on call 24/7. For active leaks we typically arrive within 2–4 hours, tarp the affected area, and schedule permanent repairs within 1–3 business days depending on weather and material availability. Fast response prevents interior damage and mold growth, especially during Shelbyville’s heavy spring rainstorms.
What kind of warranty do you offer on roof repairs?
All repair workmanship is backed by a 2-year labor warranty, and materials carry the manufacturer’s warranty (usually 20–30 years for shingles and lifetime for metal flashing). If the same area we repaired fails under normal weather conditions during the warranty period, we fix it at no cost to you. We also offer optional annual maintenance plans that extend coverage and include periodic inspections.
