FAQs
What is considered a “premium” asphalt shingle, and how does it differ from a standard shingle?
Premium (also called “luxury” or “designer”) asphalt shingles are manufactured with a heavier fiberglass mat, a thicker layer of weather-resistant asphalt, and extra ceramic granules for UV protection. In practical terms this means: • Greater wind ratings—up to 130 mph compared with 60-90 mph for basic 3-tabs. • A deeper, dimensional appearance that mimics slate or wood shakes, boosting curb appeal. • Longer manufacturer warranties—typically 30-50 years rather than 20-25. • Better impact resistance (Class 3 or Class 4), which can earn insurance discounts in Ten Mile. Although the upfront cost is higher, the extended service life and lower maintenance often make premiums the better long-term value.
How long will a full asphalt roof replacement take on my Ten Mile home?
For an average single-family residence of 2,000–3,000 square feet, most projects are completed in 1-3 days once materials are delivered and the crew begins. We schedule: 1. Day 0 – Dumpster placement and material drop-off. 2. Day 1 – Tear-off of existing shingles, inspection of decking, and any wood replacement. 3. Day 2 – Installation of underlayment, flashings, and the bulk of shingles. 4. Day 3 – Final shingle courses, ridge vent, cleanup, and magnetic nail sweep (if needed). Weather can add a day or two, especially during the wetter spring season in Ten Mile, but we monitor forecasts closely to keep projects on schedule.
What kind of lifespan can I expect from a premium asphalt roof in Ten Mile’s climate?
Premium shingles consistently last 25–35 years in our East Tennessee climate, and many reach 40 years with proper ventilation and maintenance. Ten Mile’s weather includes humid summers, occasional hail, and high UV exposure; the added thickness and UV-blocking granules of premium shingles reduce heat degradation and granule loss. Regular roof inspections, gutter cleaning, and timely repairs will maximize service life.
Will replacing my roof with premium asphalt shingles improve energy efficiency or resale value?
Yes. A new roof seals air leaks, eliminates moisture-trapping underlayment, and often includes modern synthetic underlayments and ridge ventilation —all of which can lower attic temperatures by 10–15 °F in summer. ENERGY STAR® “cool roof” shingle colors are available that reflect more sunlight, further reducing cooling costs. On resale, Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value Report shows that upscale asphalt replacements in the Southeast recoup 55-65 % of their cost, and buyers favor homes with transferable 30-50-year warranties.
What does the roof replacement process look like from start to finish?
1. Inspection & Estimate – We perform a free on-roof inspection, measure with drones or hand tools, and provide a detailed quote. 2. Material Selection – You choose shingle style, color, and accessories. We register all manufacturer warranties in your name. 3. Permitting – Meigs County rarely requires a separate roofing permit for like-for-like replacement, but we verify current codes and handle paperwork. 4. Tear-Off – We protect landscaping with tarps and remove one section at a time to keep your attic covered. 5. Decking Repairs – Any rotten sheathing is replaced and photographed for your records. 6. Installation – Ice-and-water shield in valleys, synthetic underlayment elsewhere, new drip edge, flashings, vents, and shingles installed to manufacturer specs. 7. Cleanup – Magnetic sweep, debris haul-off, and final walk-through. 8. Warranty Packet – You receive labor and manufacturer warranty documents plus pictures of the finished roof.
Who handles permits, debris removal, and warranties, and what protection do I have after the job is done?
We are a licensed and insured Tennessee roofing contractor and manage all compliance items for you: • Permits – If the city or county requires a permit or inspection, we obtain it and schedule any needed inspections. • Debris – Dumpsters are placed on protective boards in your driveway, and all roofing debris is hauled to an approved landfill. We provide dump receipts on request. • Warranties – Premium shingles come with manufacturer limited lifetime, 30-, or 50-year warranties. Our workmanship warranty covers labor defects for 10 years, and extended 20-25-year labor warranties are available through manufacturer certification programs. • Insurance – We carry $1 million general liability and workers’ compensation, protecting you from any job-site accidents.
