FAQs
What roofing materials do you consider "highest-grade" for homes and businesses in Jonesborough?
We classify architectural (laminated) asphalt shingles, standing-seam aluminum or Galvalume® metal panels, premium synthetic slate, and Class IV impact-rated designer shingles as our highest-grade options. Each of these systems carries advanced weatherproofing technology, extended manufacturer warranties, and superior curb appeal compared to standard 3-tab shingles or exposed-fastener metal roofs.
How long can I expect these premium roofing materials to last in Jonesborough’s climate?
Life expectancy varies by product: architectural shingles typically last 30–40 years, Class IV impact-rated designer shingles 40–50 years, standing-seam metal roofs 50+ years, and synthetic slate 50–75 years. Our region’s moderate temperature swings and occasional hailstorms are well within the performance range of these systems, provided they are installed correctly and inspected regularly.
Are high-grade roofs really better at handling Tennessee’s severe weather and hail?
Yes. High-grade shingles carry UL 2218 Class IV impact ratings that resist hail up to 2 inches in diameter, while metal and synthetic slate roofs shed hail and high-velocity winds more effectively than commodity products. These materials also feature reinforced sealant strips and thicker base mats, reducing the risk of blow-offs during 100 mph+ wind events common to spring storms.
Will choosing a premium roof increase my home’s energy efficiency?
Absolutely. Many top-tier asphalt and all standing-seam metal systems are ENERGY STAR® certified with high solar reflectance, reducing attic temperatures by up to 15 °F. Lower attic heat means your HVAC runs less, often cutting summertime cooling costs by 10–20 %. We also offer optional radiant-barrier underlayments and above-deck ventilation upgrades that further enhance performance.
How much more does a highest-grade roof cost compared to standard shingles?
On average, architectural shingles run 15–20 % more than 3-tab shingles; Class IV designer shingles are about 40–50 % more; standing-seam metal is roughly double; and synthetic slate can be 2.5–3 times the price of basic asphalt. However, longer lifespans, potential insurance discounts (for impact-rated roofs), lower energy bills, and higher resale value often offset the upfront investment over time.
What warranties and workmanship guarantees come with your premium roofing systems?
Manufacturer coverage ranges from 30-year non-prorated protection on architectural shingles to lifetime limited warranties on metal and synthetic slate. When our factory-certified crew installs your roof, you also receive our 10-year workmanship guarantee—backed by free labor on leak repairs and a transferable certification that boosts property value if you sell your Jonesborough home.
