FAQs
What roofing services does Sudden Downpours Roofing – Roofing Done Right offer in Tellico Plains?
We provide complete residential and light-commercial roofing solutions, including free inspections, storm-damage assessments, leak repairs, full roof replacements, new-construction installations, emergency tarping, gutter and flashing work, and insurance-claim assistance. Our crews are experienced with architectural asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal, and specialty systems such as impact-resistant or energy-efficient shingles, ensuring we can match your budget, aesthetic, and performance needs.
How do you protect my home if an unexpected downpour occurs while you’re working on the roof?
Because East Tennessee weather can change fast, we monitor multiple live forecasts before and during every project. We remove and replace the roof in sections so only small areas are exposed at a time, and we keep heavy-duty tarps and synthetic underlayment on-site to create an instant waterproof barrier if clouds roll in. If a storm arrives outside working hours, our on-call emergency crew can return to secure the roof, minimizing the risk of interior water damage.
Which roofing materials hold up best in Tellico Plains’ humid, storm-prone climate?
Architectural asphalt shingles rated for 130 mph wind uplift are the most popular, offering an excellent balance of cost, durability, and style. Standing-seam metal roofs perform even better against heavy rain, hail, and wind, often lasting 40–70 years with minimal maintenance. Impact-resistant (Class 4) designer shingles are another good option if you want the look of traditional shingles with added hail protection. During your consultation we compare lifespan, energy efficiency, aesthetics, and budget to help you choose the ideal system.
Are you licensed and insured to perform roofing in Tennessee?
Yes. Sudden Downpours Roofing holds a Tennessee Home Improvement license and meets all Monroe County permitting requirements. We carry $2 million in general liability coverage plus full workers’ compensation on every crew member. Copies of our certificates are provided with every proposal for your peace of mind.
How long will my roof replacement take?
Most single-family asphalt-shingle roofs in Tellico Plains are completed in one to two working days, including tear-off, deck repairs, installation, and job-site cleanup. Metal or specialty roofs, or homes with complex designs, may require an extra day or two. Weather can add time, but we’ll give you a written schedule before work starts and update you immediately if conditions change.
What kind of warranties and maintenance plans do you offer?
All full replacements come with the manufacturer’s material warranty—typically 25–50 years for shingles and up to 40–70 years for metal—plus our own 10-year transferable workmanship warranty that covers installation-related leaks. We also offer affordable annual maintenance packages that include an inspection, minor sealant touch-ups, debris removal, and gutter cleaning. Regular maintenance keeps your roof performing like new and helps ensure manufacturer warranties remain valid.
