FAQs
What makes your high-performance shingles ideal for the Ten Mile climate?
Ten Mile experiences hot, humid summers, occasional high winds from storms on Watts Bar Lake, and cold, wet winters. Our Class A asphalt shingles are engineered with a fiberglass mat, SBS polymer-modified asphalt, and reflective granules that resist UV degradation, algae staining, and thermal shock. They carry a Class 4 impact rating, withstanding hail up to 2 inches in diameter, and are rated to 130 mph wind uplifts—perfect for the local weather extremes.
How long does a typical roof or siding installation take in Ten Mile?
For an average 2,000 sq ft home, a full tear-off and replacement roof takes 1–2 days, while new insulated vinyl or fiber-cement siding usually requires 3–5 days. Project duration can change due to weather delays, the complexity of roof lines, or the need for structural repairs. We provide a detailed timeline up front and keep you updated daily so there are no surprises.
Are your shingles and siding energy-efficient and storm-resistant?
Yes. Our shingles carry Energy Star-rated cool-roof colors that reflect up to 25% of solar heat, and our insulated siding adds an R-value of 2–3. Together they can cut cooling costs by 10–15% in Ten Mile’s hot summers. Both products meet ASTM D3161 wind resistance standards and ASTM D7158 impact requirements, giving you superior protection during thunderstorms and the occasional tornado watch.
What kinds of warranties do you offer on roofing and siding?
You receive a dual warranty package: a 50-year non-prorated manufacturer warranty that covers material defects and a 10-year workmanship warranty backed by our GAF Master Elite and James Hardie Preferred Contractor credentials. Wind coverage extends to 130 mph, algae resistance is 10 years, and color-fade protection on siding lasts 15 years. All warranties are transferable once within the first 20 years, which can boost your home’s resale value.
How do you ensure proper ventilation and moisture control in the roofing and siding systems?
We use a balanced attic ventilation strategy—1 sq ft of net free vent area per 300 sq ft of attic space—combining ridge vents with soffit intakes. On siding installs we add a rainscreen or house-wrap with integrated drainage channels to allow trapped moisture to escape, reducing the risk of mold or wood rot. These measures meet 2021 IRC code requirements and keep your building envelope healthy year-round in Ten Mile’s humid environment.
What maintenance is required to keep the roof and siding performing at their best?
Maintenance is minimal: 1) Inspect and clean gutters twice a year to prevent ice dams and overflow. 2) Have us perform a free annual roof check for lifted shingles or flashing gaps. 3) Wash siding each spring with a garden hose and mild detergent to remove pollen and mildew. 4) Trim tree branches at least 6 ft from the roof to reduce impact damage. Following these steps can extend the life of your roof and siding well beyond their 30- to 50-year design life.
