FAQs
What roofing materials do you install, and which option performs best in Jonesborough’s climate?
We work with architectural and 3-tab asphalt shingles, standing-seam and ribbed-panel metal, synthetic slate, cedar shake, and specialty low-slope membranes. For most homes in Jonesborough, architectural asphalt shingles or standing-seam metal are the top performers because they withstand our freeze-thaw cycles, spring storms, and high summer UV exposure. Metal offers 50+ years of service life with minimal maintenance, while architectural shingles provide a cost-effective 25-35 year solution with excellent wind and algae resistance.
How long will my roof replacement or siding project take?
A typical single-family asphalt-shingle roof (2,000–3,000 sq ft) is completed in 1–2 working days, including tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, shingle installation, flashing, and thorough clean-up. Metal or designer systems can take 3–4 days. Full siding replacement on an average-sized home generally runs 4–6 days. Weather delays, structural repairs discovered during tear-off, or custom accessory orders can extend the schedule, but we provide daily progress updates so you always know where the project stands.
What warranties do you provide on new roofing and siding installations?
Every roof and siding package comes with two layers of protection. 1) Manufacturer warranty: 25–50 years on shingles, up to lifetime on metal panels, and 30–50 years on premium vinyl or fiber-cement siding—covering material defects. 2) Our own 10-year transferable workmanship warranty that covers leaks, blow-offs, fastener issues, and any siding installation defects. If a problem arises within that term, we fix it at no cost to you, and we register all warranties with the manufacturer for hassle-free future claims.
How do you make sure my new roof and siding are properly ventilated and insulated?
Before installation we perform an attic evaluation, measure intake and exhaust points, and calculate the net-free ventilation area required by the International Residential Code (1 sq ft of ventilation per 150 sq ft of attic floor, or 1/300 with balanced intake/exhaust). We then install continuous ridge vents, matching soffit vents, and baffles to keep insulation from blocking airflow. If needed, we add blown-in insulation to reach at least R-38, improving energy efficiency, reducing ice dams, and extending shingle life.
Are you licensed, insured, and do you handle permits in Jonesborough?
Yes. We maintain an active Tennessee Home Improvement/General Contractor license (# displayed on every proposal) and carry $1 million in general liability plus full workers’ compensation coverage. Our office pulls all required roofing or siding permits with the Town of Jonesborough or Washington County, schedules mandatory inspections, and provides you with documentation for your records and homeowner’s insurance carrier.
What maintenance should I perform to keep my new roof and siding in top condition?
1) Inspect the roof and siding visually each spring and fall or after major storms. 2) Keep gutters clear so water does not back up under shingles or behind siding. 3) Trim tree branches at least 6 ft away to prevent abrasion and debris buildup. 4) Avoid pressure-washing siding at extremely high PSI; instead use a soft-wash solution to remove mildew. 5) Re-caulk joints, windows, and penetrations every 3–5 years. 6) Call us at the first sign of lifted shingles, loose panels, or leaks—small repairs made early prevent larger, costlier problems later.
