What our customers say

I was very pleased with the service thr HEP technician provided. He explained everything he did and future required fixes in great detail. We've used HEP for roof repair and HVAC services and have been very pleased with by the services provided. I would recommend to friends and family.

Stephanie C.

Frank Elmore and Shane Riedel came to give me an estimate on a roof leak. They took time to answer all my questions and were thorough as they analyzed the issues I had and gave me a fair estimate. The leak was more involved than I realized so I asked for a consultant to come out and give me a quote on an entire roof to compare the cost of repair versus entire roof. I thought it would be another day but they had Travis at my house within half an hour! They even stayed and waited to make the introductions. I decided to go with entire roof but Frank and Shane were great and very helpful!

Christa G.

I've had HEP remodel 2 bathrooms, put a new roof on my house, and fix my HVAC. I've had nothing but positive experiences in each case. They provided friendly, punctual, and reasonably priced services. They stand behind their work in my experience too. I had an item or two that wasn't quite right during the bathroom remodels and they came back out to fix them without any fuss. They're at the top of my list when I need something done around the house that I don't want to tackle myself.

Nevada W.

Just had Jason Shoupe come out and do and inspection on my roof to see what needed to be done in order for us to sell our home. He was the most helpful guy I believe I have had come out and inspect anything on my house, the company itself sounds great just from the things he said. He didn't talk to me like I was just some guy needing a roof repaired, he talked to me and respected myself and my family and treated all of us as a friend. I would recommend Jason and HEP to anyone you will not be disappointed at all. Thanks Jason Shoupe for all your help!!

Andrew K.

Christian Jordan was quick, efficient, and kind. He broke down where my roof was failing and estimated a fair cost for my roof repair.

Steven Z.

John did an excellent job with finding the issue with a leak in my attic, and fixing it in a quick and timely fashion. Friendly and professional.

Haley S.

Michael was great! Had him come out to look at a leak in our roofing and was polite and extremely helpful.

Grant T.

Travis came out this afternoon and gave me a quote on a new roof and financing options. He was very informative and knowledgeable. Excellent customer service. I reccommend for fast and friendly service. Go VOLS!!

Scott T.

We called Hep for a leaking roof. They were quick to respond and when they came out took photos to show us what needed to be done. The mgr. who had come out to evaluate the job came back to ensure everything he told us was to be done would be done. He checked out the job and we felt secure knowing everything was checked on to have been done correctly and what wasn't was redone right. Would definately reccommend Hep for roof work.

Rosemary A.

Charles Clark and Kelli Gottardo came when they said they were coming. They did what they said they would do to fix problems they found with the roof. These two fellows are skilled and efficient. Furthermore, they are very pleasant!

Protecting Tennessee Homes With Expert Roof Repair by HEP

Tennessee’s distinctive climate—hot, humid summers, sudden thunderstorms, and occasional winter ice—places relentless stress on residential roofing systems. Shingles can blister, flashing may loosen, and hidden leaks can creep into attic spaces, threatening insulation, framing, and indoor air quality. HEP’s specialized roof repair service focuses exclusively on mitigating these risks for homeowners across the Volunteer State. By combining advanced diagnostics, high-grade materials, and meticulous craftsmanship, HEP restores structural integrity and prolongs roof life while enhancing curb appeal.

Why Timely Roof Repair Matters in Tennessee’s Climate

Tennessee’s weather seesaws between extremes that accelerate roof degradation:

Scorching summer UV radiation dries out asphalt shingles.
Heavy spring and fall rains exploit any gap or shingle curl.
Sudden hailstorms introduce punctures invisible from the ground.
Winter freeze-thaw cycles widen even the tiniest seams.

Ignoring early warning signs can turn a simple shingle replacement into widespread decking rot or interior mold infestation. HEP’s rapid response and precision repairs halt moisture intrusion before it damages ceilings, drywall, or electrical systems.

HEP’s Comprehensive Roof Repair Approach

HEP views each roof as a high-performance system that must handle precipitation, solar exposure, and ventilation. Repairs are never isolated patch jobs; they address root causes and future vulnerabilities.

Detailed Roof Inspection

Every project starts with thorough diagnostics:

Thermal imaging locates concealed moisture pockets.
Drone surveys reveal ridge, valley, and chimney issues without walking on fragile sections.
Attic scans verify ventilation efficiency and pinpoint leak pathways.

By combining surface evaluation with subsurface assessment, HEP maps out a precise repair blueprint.

Material-Matched Repairs

To honor manufacturer warranties and preserve property aesthetics, HEP sources identical or compatible replacement materials:

Architectural and three-tab asphalt shingles in Tennessee’s popular color profiles
Standing seam and corrugated metal panels for rural and modern builds
Tile or synthetic slate options for specialty homes

Matching thickness, granular composition, and fastener patterns ensures seamless blending and uncompromised performance.

Water Management Upgrades

Repairs often involve more than swapping out damaged shingles. HEP evaluates the entire water-shedding network:

Installation of new ice-and-water shields along eaves and valleys
Replacement of corroded flashing around chimneys, dormers, and skylights
Re-securing or resizing gutters and downspouts to meet local rainfall statistics

These reinforcements prevent repeat leaks and protect fascia boards and siding.

Ventilation and Insulation Adjustments

A roof’s health depends on balanced airflow from soffit intake vents to ridge exhaust vents. HEP corrects common Tennessee home ventilation pitfalls:

Opening blocked soffits stuffed with insulation
Adding ridge vents on previously static-vented ridgelines
Upgrading attic insulation to ENERGY STAR® recommendations without blocking airflow

By stabilizing attic temperatures, HEP reduces shingle overheating and mitigates winter ice dams.

Common Roof Problems HEP Solves Across Tennessee

Wind-Lifted Shingles

High wind gusts along hilltops and ridge lines can break adhesive seals. HEP strategically re-bonds lifted shingles or replaces missing tabs with manufacturer-approved adhesives and stainless steel nails.

Hail Impact Bruising

Hailstones leave circular bruises that dislodge protective granules. HEP technicians document impact zones, remove compromised shingles, and verify underlayment integrity before installing replacements.

Flashing Failures

Storm debris and thermal expansion loosen metal flashing. HEP fabricates new custom-bent flashing on-site to contour around chimneys and sidewalls, sealing joints with high-temperature sealants.

Roof Deck Rot

Persistent leaks may saturate plywood decking. HEP cuts out affected boards, installs treated sheathing, and restores underlayment to manufacturer specs to reestablish a solid nailing surface.

Roof Valley Deterioration

Valleys channel immense water volumes. Worn valley liners become entry points for intrusion. HEP replaces deteriorated liners with woven, closed-cut, or open-metal valley systems suited to roof pitch and style.

Roof Types Serviced by HEP

Asphalt Shingle Roofs

The most common residential roofing material in Tennessee benefits from:

Quick shingle repairs with color-matched replacements
Re-sealing of ridge caps
Granule loss mitigation through protective coatings

Metal Roofing

Standing seam, R-panel, or exposed-fastener systems receive:

Fastener retightening or upgrade to anti-back-out screws
Seam re-crimping to eliminate capillary leaks
Galvanic corrosion prevention with compatible patch plates

Tile and Slate Alternatives

Clay, concrete, and synthetic slate demand:

Precision tile removal to prevent breakage
Underlayment replacement with high-temperature membranes
Secure re-anchoring using storm-rated hooks and clips

Flat and Low-Slope Roofs

Found on porch additions and contemporary homes, these surfaces benefit from:

Ponding water evaluation and tapered insulation corrections
Seam welding on TPO or PVC membranes
Re-application of UV-resistant elastomeric coatings

The HEP Roof Repair Process Step by Step

Consultation and scheduling around weather windows.
Comprehensive inspection with photo and video documentation.
Transparent scope outlining materials, timeline, and expected outcomes.
Protective measures—tarps over landscaping, magnetic rollers for nail retrieval.
Removal of failed components down to sound substrate.
Installation of code-compliant underlayment and flashing upgrades.
Precise replacement of shingles, panels, or tiles with exacting alignment.
Worksite cleanup and haul-away of debris.
Post-repair inspection with homeowner walk-through and deliverables such as warranty documentation and maintenance tips.

Building-Code Expertise Across Tennessee Jurisdictions

The Volunteer State’s building regulations vary between metropolitan areas like Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga as well as smaller counties. HEP stays current with code amendments concerning:

Nailing patterns and shingle uplift resistance
Minimum underlayment types for different pitch ranges
Ice barrier requirements in regions above specified altitude lines
Ventilation ratios dictating square inches of free airflow per attic square footage

By observing local ordinances, HEP guarantees passes on final inspections and preserves eligibility for material warranties.

Essential Signs Tennessee Homeowners Should Watch For

Exterior Indicators

Curling shingle corners or edges after summer heat waves
Dark vertical streaks from algae feeding on limestone filler
Loose granules accumulating in gutter troughs after heavy downpours
Rust lines on metal panels where fasteners have backed out

Interior Red Flags

Dark rings on ceiling drywall following thunderstorms
Musty odor in closets, hinting at hidden insulation moisture
Sudden spikes in heating or cooling bills due to lost thermal performance

Seasonal Triggers

Ice dams along eaves in higher-elevation counties
Debris buildup from spring pollen shedding and fall leaf drop
Hail pits on cars signaling likely roof impact damage

Early intervention by HEP prevents small symptoms from snowballing into major structural issues.

Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship

HEP integrates eco-conscious practices into every roof repair project:

Recycling removed asphalt shingles into pavement aggregate, diverting tonnage from Tennessee landfills.
Offering cool-roof shingle options that reflect solar radiation, lowering attic temperatures and reducing HVAC loads.
Using solvent-free adhesives and sealants with minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

These measures support statewide efforts to promote energy efficiency and responsible construction waste management.

Safety Protocols That Protect Homeowners and Crews

Roof repair work carries inherent risks, especially on steep Tennessee roofs. HEP enforces rigorous safety standards:

OSHA-compliant fall arrest systems anchored to roof ridges.
Daily pre-job safety briefings reviewing weather forecasts and specific hazards.
Equipment inspections for ladder integrity, harness wear, and tool calibration.
Clear perimeter setups with visible barricades protecting residents and pets on the ground.

By prioritizing safety, HEP eliminates delays, injuries, and liabilities.

The Long-Term Value of Professional Roof Repair

Preserved Property Value

A watertight, well-maintained roof is a major selling point during home appraisals and buyer inspections. HEP’s repair craftsmanship prevents red-flag disclosures that can stall real estate transactions.

Enhanced Energy Efficiency

Proper sealing and ventilation adjustments cut heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. Lowered utility bills deliver an ongoing return on the repair investment.

Manufacturer Warranty Compliance

Most shingle and metal panel producers require installation to meet strict standards. HEP’s adherence safeguards eligibility for future product claims, saving homeowners out-of-pocket replacement costs.

Peace of Mind During Extreme Weather

Tennessee’s storm season can be unpredictable. Knowing a roof has been professionally restored allows families to focus on safety rather than last-minute leak control.

Routine Maintenance Packages

While HEP excels at responsive repairs, preventive upkeep further extends roof life. Optional maintenance services include:

Bi-annual inspections timed for post-winter thaw and post-summer heat stress.
Gutter and downspout clearing to avert overflow and fascia rot.
Sealant touch-ups around pipe boots, satellite mounts, and solar panel brackets.
Moss and algae treatment in shaded, moisture-prone areas.

Regular attention curbs emergency calls and maximizes structural longevity.

Insurance Claim Assistance

Storm damage in Tennessee often warrants insurance coverage. HEP’s documentation supports seamless claims:

Detailed inspection reports with high-resolution images
Industry-standard estimating software line items
Coordination with adjusters to verify code upgrades where applicable

By bridging the gap between homeowners and insurance carriers, HEP expedites repairs and reduces administrative stress.

Specialized Services for Historic and Custom Homes

Tennessee boasts numerous mid-century, Victorian, and farmhouse properties. Preserving architectural character demands tailored roof repair solutions:

Heritage Shingles and Specialty Materials

HEP sources period-appropriate wood shakes, clay tiles, or copper accents to maintain historical authenticity.

Structural Reinforcement

Older rafters or decking may need reinforcement to meet current load requirements, especially when replacing heavy tile sections.

Discreet Modern Enhancements

Where permitted, HEP integrates breathable underlayments and hidden ventilation systems that protect historic structures without altering exterior appearance.

Storm Preparedness Tips from HEP

Unpredictable weather warrants proactive homeowner action. HEP recommends:

Scheduling pre-season inspections to address vulnerable flashing or aging shingles.
Trimming overhanging limbs to reduce impact damage from falling branches.
Securing loose outdoor items that could become airborne during high winds.
Verifying attic insulation depth to minimize ice dam formation in mountainous regions.

These measures, combined with HEP’s professional repairs, fortify homes against Tennessee’s harshest conditions.
