FAQs

What qualifies as a “premium roofing material” and which options do you offer in Speedwell?

Premium materials are high-performance products that excel in durability, weather resistance, and aesthetics. In Speedwell we install architectural and designer asphalt shingles, standing-seam and stamped metal panels, natural slate, synthetic slate, cedar shakes, and premium concrete or clay tiles. Each is UL-rated for wind and impact, carries top-tier manufacturer warranties, and meets Tennessee’s building code standards.

How long can I expect a premium roof to last compared with standard shingles?

Standard three-tab shingles last 15–20 years, whereas most premium systems deliver 40–75+ years of service. Architectural asphalt shingles average 30–40 years, metal panels 50+ years, synthetic slate 50 years, cedar 30–40 years, and true slate or clay tile can reach 75–100 years when properly maintained. Local climate, ventilation quality, and regular upkeep will ultimately determine the exact life span in Speedwell.

Are premium roofs more energy-efficient?

Yes. Metal, slate, and advanced asphalt shingles are manufactured with reflective granules or cool-roof coatings that reduce heat absorption. By deflecting solar radiation, attic temperatures drop 10-15 °F, lowering summer cooling costs up to 20 %. Proper insulation and ridge/soffit ventilation further enhance energy performance and help qualify some homeowners for ENERGY STAR® or utility rebates available in Claiborne County.

What is the price difference between premium and standard roofing, and how is the cost justified?

Premium materials typically cost 2–4 × more than basic three-tab shingles. For example, in Speedwell a 2,000 sq ft roof may range from $7–$9 per sq ft for architectural asphalt, $10–$14 for metal, and $20+ for slate or clay tile (materials plus labor). The investment is justified by double-or-greater life expectancy, higher wind/hail ratings that reduce insurance premiums, increased property value, reduced maintenance, and improved curb appeal.

What maintenance does a premium roof require?

While premium roofs are low-maintenance, we recommend the following: (1) annual or post-storm inspections to spot loose fasteners, cracked tiles, or displaced shingles; (2) gutter cleaning twice a year; (3) moss/algae treatment if needed—especially on cedar and north-facing slopes; (4) prompt replacement of damaged flashing. We offer an affordable maintenance package for Speedwell homeowners that includes inspection reports and minor tune-ups.

Do you provide warranties and local support in Speedwell?

Absolutely. All premium installations include a manufacturer’s limited lifetime or 50-year material warranty plus our 10-year workmanship guarantee. Because we are based less than 20 minutes from downtown Speedwell, our crews can respond quickly to warranty calls or storm damage emergencies. Warranty transfers to a new owner if you sell your home within the first 10 years, adding tangible resale value.
