FAQs
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in Elizabethton?
Because our area experiences heavy rain, high humidity, occasional hail, and strong winds funneling through the Appalachian foothills, we recommend a professional inspection twice a year—once in the spring and again in the fall. You should also book an additional inspection after any major storm or if you notice interior stains, missing shingles, or debris on the ground.
What does a professional roof inspection from your company include?
Our certified technicians start with a ground-level visual scan, then move onto the roof to examine shingles, flashing, chimney caps, and ventilation hardware. Inside, we check the attic for moisture, daylight penetration, insulation levels, and deck integrity. You receive a photo-documented report that outlines current condition, any code or safety issues, life-expectancy estimates, and a prioritized list of repairs with transparent pricing.
How do I know whether I need a repair or a full replacement?
Age and extent of damage are the deciding factors. If your asphalt roof is under 15 years old and damage is limited to a few shingles or minor flashing issues, a repair is usually sufficient. If more than 25–30% of shingles are cracked, curling, or missing; the roof is 20+ years old; the decking is soft or sagging; or you have recurring leaks despite past fixes, a replacement offers better long-term value and warranty protection.
Will my homeowners insurance cover roof repairs caused by storms?
Most Elizabethton policies cover sudden and accidental events such as wind, hail, or falling branches. Wear-and-tear or neglected maintenance, however, is usually excluded. After we inspect, we can provide the photographic documentation and damage report insurers require and meet with the adjuster on-site to advocate for proper coverage.
How long will a roof repair take, and do I need to be home?
Small shingle or flashing repairs can be completed in 2–4 hours. Moderate repairs—such as partial decking replacement—generally finish the same day, while extensive structural fixes may take 1–3 days. You do not have to remain on the property; our crew will photograph progress, protect landscaping, and perform a full cleanup before leaving.
Which roofing materials hold up best in Elizabethton’s climate?
Architectural asphalt shingles with a 130 mph wind rating are a cost-effective choice for most homes. Standing-seam metal roofs offer 40–70-year lifespans, excellent resistance to wind-driven rain, and superior energy efficiency. For low-slope sections, single-ply TPO membranes perform well against UV exposure and ponding water. All systems we install include high-quality synthetic underlayment and proper attic ventilation to combat our region’s humidity and temperature swings.
