FAQs
What does “precision craftsmanship” mean for a roofing project in Walland?
For us, precision craftsmanship means every phase of the roofing job—inspection, material selection, installation, and final quality check—is completed to exacting standards. We use digital measurements and chalk-line layouts to ensure straight shingle courses, laser-guided ridge alignment for perfect symmetry, and manufacturer-approved fastening patterns so every shingle, panel, or slate is secured according to code and warranty requirements. The end result is a roof that not only looks flawless but also performs better against the high winds, heavy rains, and temperature swings common in Walland.
Which roofing materials do you recommend for Walland’s climate, and why?
Walland experiences hot, humid summers, occasional hail, and cold, wet winters, so we generally recommend: • Architectural asphalt shingles with algae-resistant granules for cost-effective durability. • Standing-seam metal roofing (26–24 ga) with Kynar 500® finish for superior wind and hail resistance and energy efficiency. • Synthetic slate or cedar-shake alternatives for homeowners who want a classic look with lower maintenance. All these products carry high Class A fire ratings, meet or exceed ASTM D7158 for wind uplift, and come with manufacturer warranties of 30 years to lifetime, making them ideal for our local weather profile.
How long will my roof replacement or new installation take?
A standard 2,000 sq ft shingle re-roof takes 1–2 days from tear-off to final clean-up, assuming normal weather and no structural repairs. A metal or synthetic slate roof of the same size usually takes 3–4 days because of the extra fabrication steps. Our process is: 1) Pre-job meeting to confirm scope and protect landscaping. 2) Tear-off/disposal with on-site dump trailer. 3) Deck inspection and repairs. 4) Ice-and-water shield and synthetic underlayment installation. 5) Precision installation of shingles or panels. 6) Ridge venting and flashing details. 7) Magnetic nail sweep, gutter clean-out, and final walk-through.
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured, and what warranties do you provide?
Yes. We hold a Tennessee Home Improvement Contractor license (#XXXXXX), maintain $2 million in general liability coverage, workers’ compensation on every crew member, and a $10,000 surety bond for your protection. We are certified installers with GAF and CertainTeed, allowing us to offer upgraded 50-year, non-prorated manufacturer warranties. In addition, we include our own 10-year workmanship guarantee that covers any leak related to our installation, transferable one time if you sell your home.
Do you offer maintenance services after the roof is installed?
Absolutely. We recommend a semi-annual maintenance program that includes: • Roof and flashing inspection • Clearing of roof valleys and debris build-up • Gutter and downspout cleaning • Sealant check on vents and penetrations • Minor shingle or fastener adjustments. Regular maintenance helps preserve your warranty, reduces the risk of leaks, and ensures optimal ventilation—especially important in Walland’s humid environment.
Can you assist with insurance claims for storm or hail damage?
Yes. We provide full storm-response services, beginning with a free, photo-documented inspection that meets HAAG engineering standards. If damage is found, we’ll: • Explain the findings in plain language • Meet with your adjuster on-site to show them the evidence • Supply a detailed Xactimate estimate that aligns with carrier pricing • Handle supplemental paperwork if hidden damage is discovered • Schedule repairs as soon as the claim is approved. Our goal is to make the claims process stress-free and ensure you receive the full benefit you’re entitled to under your policy.
