FAQs
What does a “full tear-off” roof replacement involve?
A full tear-off means every layer of existing roofing material—including shingles, underlayment, nails, and flashing—is completely removed down to the bare decking. This exposes any hidden storm damage or wood rot so we can repair it before installing new ice-and-water shield, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, flashing, and shingles. It provides a clean, solid substrate for the new roof and maximizes manufacturer warranty coverage.
How do I know if storm damage in Ten Mile warrants a full tear-off instead of a simple repair?
After hail, high winds, or fallen debris, we perform a free, no-obligation inspection. If we find widespread shingle bruising, granule loss, lifted seals, or leaks that affect multiple roof planes, a full tear-off is usually the safest and most cost-effective solution. Spot repairs may leave hidden moisture trapped, leading to mold or decking failure. We document all findings with photos and measurements so you can see exactly why a full replacement is recommended.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of a storm-related tear-off and new roof?
Most homeowner policies in Tennessee include coverage for sudden, accidental storm damage. If our inspection confirms hail or wind damage, we help you file the claim, meet the adjuster on-site, and supply the detailed scope of work they need. When approved, your insurer typically pays for the full tear-off, decking repairs, and new roofing materials minus your deductible. If only part of the roof is approved, we negotiate on your behalf to ensure code-required full replacement is recognized.
How long does a complete tear-off and roof replacement take in the Ten Mile area?
For an average 2,000–3,000 sq ft single-family home, the tear-off, decking repairs, and new installation usually take one to two days, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs may take three to four days. We schedule dumpster delivery, material drop-off, and crew arrival for minimal disruption. Our team performs a thorough magnetic nail sweep and yard cleanup each evening so your property stays safe and accessible.
What roofing materials do you recommend for storm resistance in East Tennessee’s climate?
We primarily install Class 4 impact-rated architectural asphalt shingles because they resist hail bruising and high winds up to 130 mph. For customers seeking maximum durability, we also offer standing-seam metal roofs and designer composite shingles. All systems include ice-and-water shield in valleys and along eaves, ridge ventilation, and corrosion-resistant fasteners—critical upgrades for Ten Mile’s mix of hot summers, heavy rain, and occasional winter ice.
Are permits or inspections required for a roof tear-off in Meigs County—and do you handle them?
Yes. Meigs County requires a building permit and final inspection for any structural roofing work, including tear-offs. We pull the permit, schedule decking and final inspections, and provide all code-compliant documentation. If decking replacement exceeds 10 % of the roof, we automatically install approved H-clips and proper nailing patterns to meet current IRC guidelines. You never have to navigate local regulations; we manage the entire process from start to finish.
