The two most common reasons people call us for a new roof replacement are either an insurance claim from storm damage or signs of aging on the roof.

Our Roof Replacement Process

First things first, so when you contact us, we’ll set up an appointment for a roof inspection. During the inspection, we’ll thoroughly examine the condition of your roof for damage or aging.

Signs That Your House Needs Roof Repair

Your roof protects your home from rain, heat, wind, cold, and more day after day. Year after year. But even after years of enduring punishment, you never know when a surprise storm might blow in and damage your roof.

If you notice any of these signs appear in your home, then it’s time to get your roof fixed.

Water damage

This is the most obvious sign that your roof needs repair. Look for stains on your ceiling that appear after a rainstorm. And if the stains grow larger after the storm, your roof definitely has an active leak.

Water in the Attic

Sometimes leaks aren’t obvious. But, if you’re noticing mold and signs of moisture in your attic, then your roof will need repairs.

Damaged or Spotty Shingles

Asphalt shingles are the common roofing material used in housing. They’re durable, easy to install, and effective for all types of Tennessee weather. But, over time the protective surface granules can wash off of the shingles leaving your roof vulnerable to leaks.

Shingles in Your Yard

When high winds blow through they can lift up shingles and shake them loose. Thankfully, this only happens with extremely high winds, because shingles are installed in such a way to prevent this as much as possible. Still, if you notice shingles laying in your yard after a storm, your roof is probably exposed and in need of repair.

Defective or Damaged Flashing

Flashings are a type of metal roofing material that is used to direct water away from certain areas on your roof. Typically, flashing is used near vertical structures like chimneys, vents, and roof stacks. Usually, flashings are made from copper or galvanized steel.

Improperly installed flashings make your roof vulnerable to water damage and leaks.

If the flashing on your roof is broken, look for signs of rust, warping, cracks, breaks, or separation around the corners of your roof.

Neighbors Replacing Their Roofs

Because suburban neighborhood homes are built around the same time, their roofs are usually around the same age. So, if you see your neighbors starting roofing projects, it could be a sign that your roof needs some attention.

Curling or Warping Shingles

Over time, asphalt shingles may begin to curl up at the corners. Usually, this is a sign of aging, but also improper ventilation in your roof. Without ventilation, there’s no cool air to take away the heat that the shingles absorb. Instead, constant exposure to heat and sunlight cause the shingles to become more fragile and curl.

Curling roof tiles occur most often on the south and west-facing sides of the roof. Valleys are also highly susceptible to curling.

Will my Home Insurance Cover the Cost?

It depends on the situation and the type of roof or home insurance you have. Insurance companies usually determine your coverage differently than your house, so you will need to carefully review your policy to be sure.

Additionally, if you choose to begin filing a storm damage claim you will need to work with an insurance adjuster to determine how much of the costs will be covered.

If you have to pay out of pocket, you can expect that your estimate will include material and labor costs in the total cost amount.

We know how big of a decision it is to pay for roof repairs and complete roof replacement. So, we work with all types of house insurance plans to make sure the costs of your new roof are as low as possible.
