FAQs
How can I tell if my Tullahoma home needs a full roof replacement after a storm rather than just repairs?
Warning signs include widespread missing or broken shingles, significant granule loss exposing the asphalt mat, multiple roof leaks in different areas, sagging decking, and visible hail bruises larger than 1” in diameter. Our storm-damage specialists perform a free inspection using drones, moisture meters, and attic checks to determine whether a cost-effective repair or comprehensive replacement is the safest long-term solution.
Will my homeowners insurance cover the cost of a storm-related roof replacement in Tullahoma?
Most standard Tennessee homeowners policies cover wind, hail, and fallen-tree damage on a Replacement Cost Value (RCV) basis. Coverage depends on policy deductibles, exclusions, and the roof’s age. We help you document damage with photos, prepare the claim, meet the adjuster on-site, and advocate for full replacement when warranted. You are responsible only for your deductible and any non-recoverable depreciation stated in your policy.
How quickly should I act after my roof is damaged by severe weather?
Act within 24–48 hours. Prompt tarping or emergency patching prevents secondary water damage that insurers may deny. Tennessee’s statute of limitations for filing a claim is generally one year, but waiting can lead to mold, structural issues, and claim disputes over whether the damage was sudden or gradual. Call us immediately for a same-day inspection and temporary protection.
What roofing materials do you recommend for storm resilience in Tullahoma’s climate?
We install Class 3 and Class 4 impact-rated asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal, and synthetic slate—all engineered to resist winds up to 130–150 mph and high-velocity hail. For most Tullahoma neighborhoods, impact-rated architectural shingles provide the best balance of cost, curb appeal, and insurance discounts, while metal is ideal for maximum longevity and energy efficiency.
How long does a storm damage roof replacement take and what is the process?
A typical single-family home (2,000–3,000 sq ft) can be torn off and re-roofed in 1–2 days, weather permitting. The process includes: 1) detailed inspection & estimate, 2) insurance claim assistance, 3) material selection & permit acquisition from the City of Tullahoma, 4) tear-off and decking repairs, 5) installation of ice & water shield, synthetic underlayment, and new shingles/metal panels, 6) ventilation and flashing upgrades, and 7) thorough cleanup with magnetic nail sweep and final customer walkthrough.
Do you offer any warranties or maintenance plans for storm-related roof replacements?
Yes. All full replacements come with a 5-year workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer’s limited lifetime material warranty (up to 50 years on impact-rated shingles or 40–60 years on metal). We also provide an optional annual maintenance program that includes gutter cleaning, sealant checks, and a post-storm inspection to keep your new roof performing like new and protect your warranty coverage.
