FAQs
What sets Honest Assessments Roofing apart from other roofing companies in Shelbyville?
We specialize in transparent, no-pressure inspections and provide you with photographic evidence and clear explanations of every issue we find—or don’t find. Our estimators are salaried, not commission-based, so their only incentive is to give you an honest, accurate assessment. We also employ local, factory-certified crews, maintain full licensing and insurance, and follow Shelbyville’s building codes to the letter, ensuring a roof that’s done right the first time.
How do you determine whether my roof needs repair or full replacement?
During our free assessment we examine shingles, flashing, decking, ventilation and attic insulation. We look for granule loss, lifted nails, moisture intrusion, mold and structural sagging. Infrared cameras help us spot hidden water damage. If problems are isolated and the shingle field is largely intact, a repair may suffice; widespread deterioration, multiple leaks or compromised decking usually indicate replacement. After inspection, we give you a written report with photos, clear options and the pros and cons of each solution.
Which roofing materials do you recommend for Shelbyville’s weather conditions?
Shelbyville’s hot summers, occasional hail and high winds call for impact-rated asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or synthetic composite shingles. Architectural asphalt shingles (Class 4 impact-rated) balance cost and durability, resisting winds up to 130 mph. Standing-seam metal roofs shed rain efficiently, reflect solar heat and can last 40–60 years. For premium curb appeal, composite slate or shake offers Class A fire resistance and superior impact ratings with less weight than natural stone or wood. We discuss budget, aesthetics and longevity to help you choose the best fit.
How long will my roof replacement take from start to finish?
Most single-family homes in Shelbyville are completed within one to two days of the scheduled start date. The timeline includes teardown, decking repairs, underlayment, flashing, shingle or panel installation, ventilation upgrades and a full magnetic nail sweep. Weather delays, structural repairs or custom material orders can extend the project, but we keep you updated daily. Permits and final city inspections are handled by our staff, so you won’t experience administrative slow-downs.
Can you assist me with my homeowner’s insurance claim for storm damage?
Absolutely. Our team documents storm-related damage with high-resolution photos, detailed diagrams and written estimates in Xactimate—the software most carriers use. We meet adjusters on-site to ensure nothing is overlooked, provide code documentation for required upgrades, and explain your policy’s deductible, depreciation and coverage limits in plain language. While we never act as public adjusters, our guidance helps you secure a fair settlement and avoid denied or underpaid claims.
What kind of warranty and post-installation support do you offer?
Every roof comes with a two-part warranty: a manufacturer’s material warranty (up to 50 years non-prorated on select products) and our 10-year workmanship warranty that covers installation errors and leak repairs. You’ll receive a written certificate and manufacturer registration. We conduct a complimentary annual inspection for the first three years to catch minor issues early, and we’re available 24/7 for emergency tarping or repairs. Maintenance tips and ventilation checks are included at no charge during warranty inspections.
