FAQs
What roofing materials are best suited for the Sewanee climate?
In Sewanee, where the climate can include a mix of seasonal weather, we recommend materials that offer durability and excellent weather resistance. Metal, slate, and architectural shingles are popular choices because they withstand heavy rain, intense sun, and occasional snow. Each material comes with its own set of pros and cons, so we carefully evaluate your home’s needs and local weather patterns to determine the best option.
What techniques do you use to ensure the longevity of my roof?
Our roofing team utilizes advanced installation techniques to maximize durability and prevent leaks. This includes proper underlayment installation, ventilation systems to reduce heat buildup, and secure fastening methods to resist high winds. We also integrate flashings and sealants in critical transitions, ensuring that every installation detail contributes to a robust and long-lasting roof.
How often should I inspect and maintain my roof in Sewanee?
Regular inspections are crucial to extend the lifespan of your roof. We recommend a professional inspection at least once a year, as well as after severe weather events like heavy storms or snow. Early detection of wear and tear, missing shingles, or potential issues with the flashing helps avoid costly repairs down the line. Routine maintenance, including debris removal and minor repairs, further protects your investment.
How do local weather conditions in Sewanee affect roofing materials?
Sewanee’s local weather—which can range from hot, dry summers to cold, wet winters—places unique demands on roofing systems. Materials must be able to expand and contract with temperature fluctuations and resist moisture that can lead to corrosion or mold growth. Our selection of high-quality, weather-resistant materials ensures that your roof remains secure despite these challenges.
What is the process for roof repair or replacement using these materials?
We begin any repair or replacement project with a comprehensive assessment of your existing roof system. Once we identify issues, we offer you a detailed plan that outlines the scope of work, choice of materials, and timeline. Skilled professionals then carefully remove any damaged components and install new materials using industry best practices. After installation, thorough quality checks and clean-up ensure that your roof meets our high standards.
What warranties and guarantees do you offer on roofing materials and installations?
We are proud to stand behind our work and the quality of our materials. Many of the roofing materials we use come with manufacturer warranties, which often cover issues related to material defects and wear. Additionally, our installations come with a workmanship warranty that provides you with peace of mind in the event of unexpected issues. Be sure to discuss warranty details during your consultation, as the coverage can vary based on the chosen material and specific installation conditions.
