FAQs
How does Tennessee’s weather impact my roof and siding in Shelbyville?
Shelbyville experiences hot, humid summers, heavy spring rains, and the occasional winter ice storm or tornado-grade wind. UV radiation can dry out asphalt shingles, heavy downpours can expose weak flashing, and wind-driven debris can dent or crack vinyl or aluminum siding. Choosing materials rated for high wind resistance and UV stability—and keeping gutters clear so water can drain—helps minimize weather-related damage.
Which roofing materials perform best in our local climate?
Architectural asphalt shingles with algae-resistant granules are the most popular because they handle 130 mph wind ratings and have reflective options to reduce attic heat. Metal roofing—especially standing-seam steel with a Kynar finish—offers a 50-year lifespan, superb hail resistance, and energy-saving cool-roof coatings. For homeowners wanting a premium look, synthetic slate or shake products provide Class 4 impact resistance and won’t absorb moisture the way natural wood can in our humid environment.
How often should I schedule roof and siding inspections?
We recommend a professional inspection every spring and fall, plus an additional check after any hail event or windstorm that exceeds 60 mph. Regular inspections catch lifted shingles, nail pops, loose siding panels, and minor flashing failures before they lead to costly leaks or structural rot. Annual maintenance—such as resealing fasteners, caulking joints, and soft-washing algae growth—extends the service life of both your roof and siding.
Can you assist with insurance claims for storm damage?
Yes. Our team is trained to document hail strikes, wind uplift, and water intrusion according to insurer guidelines. We provide a written damage report, high-resolution photos, and an itemized repair estimate in Xactimate format. We’ll meet the adjuster on-site, advocate for code-required upgrades, and handle supplemental filings so you receive the full coverage you’re entitled to under your policy.
How long does a typical roof or siding replacement take in Shelbyville?
Most single-family asphalt shingle roofs are completed in one to two days, weather permitting. Metal roofs or complex multi-valley designs may require three to four days. Full vinyl or fiber-cement siding projects usually take four to six days, including removal of old material, wall prep, and trim work. We schedule projects around local weather forecasts to avoid rain delays and always perform a final walk-through to ensure your yard is nail-free and debris is removed.
Are there energy-efficient options that can lower my utility bills?
Absolutely. Cool-roof asphalt shingles and reflective metal panels can reduce attic temperatures by 10–15 °F, cutting summer AC costs by up to 20 %. For siding, insulated vinyl or foam-backed fiber cement raises your wall’s R-value and helps stabilize indoor temperatures year-round. Pairing either upgrade with proper attic ventilation and radiant-barrier decking qualifies many homeowners for TVA energy rebates and can increase overall home resale value.
