FAQs
What does “transparent repair options” mean for my roof repair in Signal Mountain?
Transparency means you’ll know exactly what is happening to your roof, why each repair is needed, and how much every item costs before work begins. After our free inspection, we provide a written report that includes photos, a line-item estimate, and at least two repair approaches (for example: spot repairs vs. partial replacement). We review the pros, cons, cost, and life-expectancy of each option so you can make an informed decision with no hidden fees or surprise add-ons.
How quickly can you respond to a roof leak or storm damage in the Signal Mountain area?
Because Signal Mountain sits on the Cumberland Plateau and experiences sudden wind and hail events, we keep an emergency crew on call. For active leaks, we typically arrive within 4 hours to tarp and stabilize the roof. A full diagnostic inspection is usually scheduled within 24 hours. Non-emergency repairs can be booked within 3–5 business days, subject to weather and material availability.
Will a repair be enough, or will I need a full roof replacement?
Roughly 70 % of roofs we inspect in Signal Mountain can be safely repaired rather than replaced. We evaluate shingle age, granule loss, deck integrity, and local code requirements. If the roof has more than two layers of shingles, widespread soft decking, or damage exceeding 25 % of the surface, we’ll recommend replacement. Otherwise, we’ll outline targeted repairs that restore water-tightness and extend roof life another 5–10 years, saving you thousands of dollars.
How do you calculate the cost of a roof repair, and can I see a breakdown?
Every estimate is itemized by labor hours, material quantities, disposal fees, and taxes. We use current pricing from Chattanooga-area suppliers and published labor rates. You’ll see costs for underlayment, shingles, flashing, fasteners, sealants, and any decking replacement in square-foot increments. We also note optional upgrades (impact-resistant shingles, synthetic underlayment) with separate pricing. You get the full breakdown in writing and digitally through our customer portal, so you can compare or request changes easily.
Do you help with insurance claims for hail or wind damage?
Yes. If your Signal Mountain home was hit by a covered weather event, we’ll document damage with time-stamped photos, create an Xactimate estimate formatted for insurers, and meet the adjuster onsite. We can communicate directly with your carrier to justify repair scope and ensure code-required items (like drip edge or ice-and-water shield) are included. You maintain full control: any insurance funds are paid directly to you, and we only perform work you authorize.
What warranties or guarantees come with your roof repairs?
All repair labor is guaranteed for 2 years against workmanship defects, double the Tennessee state minimum. Manufacturer warranties on replacement shingles or accessories range from 25-year limited to lifetime, depending on the product you select. If a repair fails within the warranty period due to our installation error, we fix it at no cost and coordinate any material claims. You’ll receive warranty certificates and maintenance tips to keep coverage active.
