FAQs
Which roofing materials perform best in the East Tennessee climate?
East Tennessee experiences strong sun, high humidity, heavy rains, and occasional hail. Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most popular because they balance cost, wind resistance up to 130 mph, and a 25â30-year service life. Metal roofingâespecially standing-seam steel or aluminumâoffers 40â70 year durability, excellent shed of snow, and ENERGY-STARÂź efficiency credits. For historic homes, synthetic slate or cedar-look polymer shakes give classic aesthetics without the weight or maintenance of true slate or wood. We inspect your structure, discuss budget and style, and recommend the optimal material for Strawberry Plains conditions.
How long does a typical roof replacement take in Strawberry Plains?
Single-family asphalt shingle roofs average one to two days, assuming 2,000â3,000 sq ft of surface area and no structural decking damage. Metal or specialty systems can add one to three extra days for panel fabrication and detail work. Weather is the main variable; we monitor forecasts and will tarp exposed areas if afternoon storms roll through. Before work begins, you receive a detailed timeline, and our crew cleans up daily so your property stays safe throughout the project.
Can you help me decide whether to repair or replace my existing siding?
Absolutely. During a free on-site evaluation we check for soft or swollen boards, loose panels, nail pops, fading, mold growth, and insulation gaps with thermal imaging. If more than 20â25 percent of the façade shows damage or your energy bills are climbing, full replacement usually costs less long-term than repeated patching. Otherwise, targeted repairs and color-matched paint can extend the life of your current siding by 5â10 years. We provide a written report with photographs so you can make an informed decision.
Do you offer financing for roofing or siding projects?
Yes. Through partner lenders we offer same-as-cash plans for 6 or 12 months, or low-interest terms up to 144 months. Applications are processed online with approval decisions in minutes, and thereâs no pre-payment penalty. We also accept credit cards and can stage work in phases to fit your budget. Our staff will explain all options during your consultation so you can choose the payment plan that fits your needs.
Will you handle insurance claims for storm-related roof or siding damage?
We work with all major carriers that serve East Tennessee. After a hail or wind event, one of our HAAG-certified inspectors documents damage with photos, chalk outlines, and drone footage if needed. We meet the adjuster on site, review their scope, and negotiate to ensure code-required itemsâlike ice-and-water shield or starter stripsâare included. Once approved, we schedule repairs and bill the insurer directly except for your deductible. This one-stop process saves you paperwork and gets your property restored faster.
What warranties come with your roofing and siding installations?
Manufacturer warranties vary by product: architectural shingles include 25- to 50-year limited lifetime coverage, metal carries 40- to 60-year paint and corrosion guarantees, and premium vinyl or fiber-cement siding offers 30- to 50-year fade and crack protection. In addition, we provide a 10-year workmanship guarantee that covers installation-related leaks, blow-offs, or siding detachment. Annual roof and siding inspections during the first five years are free, ensuring any issues are caught early and fixed at no cost to you.
