FAQs
What roofing materials best enhance curb appeal in Whitwell’s climate?
In Whitwell, we usually recommend architectural asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal, or premium synthetic slate/shake. Architectural shingles provide rich shadow lines and come in designer colors that mimic wood or slate while offering 25- to 30-year lifespans. Metal roofs add a modern, high-end look, shed rain quickly, and carry 40- to 50-year warranties. Synthetic slate or shake delivers luxury aesthetics without the weight of natural stone or wood and lasts 50+ years. All three options are engineered to resist the high humidity, summer heat, and occasional severe storms common in the Sequatchie Valley.
How do I know if I should repair or replace my siding?
We suggest replacement when more than 20 % of the boards or panels show rot, warping, or pest damage, or when energy bills rise because the wall envelope is failing. For isolated cracks or small areas of moisture intrusion, targeted repairs and repainting may be cost-effective. Our free inspection includes moisture-meter readings, thermal imaging, and a visual assessment. We’ll give you a written report explaining whether repair or full replacement will provide the best long-term value and curb-appeal boost.
How long does a typical roofing or siding project take in Whitwell?
Duration depends on home size and material choice. An average 2,000 sq ft roof with architectural shingles takes 1–2 days, while metal or synthetic slate may take 3–4 days due to custom flashing and panel fabrication. Full siding replacement on the same home generally requires 4–6 days, including removal, substrate repair, weather-resistant barrier installation, and trim work. Weather delays are rare outside of severe-storm season, but we build a cushion into the schedule and keep you updated daily.
Do you handle permits and HOA approvals for exterior upgrades?
Yes. Whitwell requires building permits for structural roof work and for any siding project exceeding 200 sq ft. We prepare the permit application, submit plans, and meet inspectors on-site. If you live in an HOA, we’ll provide color samples, material specs, and photos of previous projects to fast-track Architectural Review Committee approval. This coordination is included in our project management service at no extra cost.
What warranties and maintenance support do you offer for new roofs and siding?
Material warranties range from 25 years (architectural shingles) to lifetime transferable coverage (synthetic slate and premium vinyl or fiber-cement siding). Our workmanship warranty is 10 years for roofing and 5 years for siding, covering labor and installation-related leaks or defects. After completion, you receive a maintenance guide and two complimentary inspections: one at the one-year mark and another at year five, ensuring sealants, fasteners, and flashings remain in top condition.
How much will a roofing and siding makeover cost, and can I finance it?
Pricing varies by material and home size. Architectural shingle roofs in Whitwell average $4.25–$5.50 per sq ft installed; metal roofs average $8.50–$11 per sq ft. Premium vinyl siding runs $7–$9 per sq ft, while fiber-cement ranges from $9–$12. We provide a detailed line-item quote so you can mix and match options. Financing is available through two local banks and a national home-improvement lender, offering 0 % for 12 months or fixed rates as low as 6.99 % for terms up to 144 months. We’ll walk you through approval in less than 15 minutes.
