Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions homeowners ask us most often, answered straight.
How much does a new roof cost in East Tennessee?
Most asphalt shingle roof replacements in our area run between $7,000 and $18,000, depending on the size of the roof, pitch, tear-off complexity, and shingle line. We always come out for a free measure-up and give you an itemized estimate — no guesswork over the phone, and no pressure to sign on the spot.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes in our area take one full day. Larger or more complex roofs can run two days. We tear off, install underlayment, and shingle the same day whenever weather allows, and we leave the property cleaner than we found it.
Do you work with insurance companies on storm damage?
Yes — we work directly with all major insurance carriers. We meet your adjuster on-site, document the damage, and write a detailed scope so you get the coverage you're owed. We've handled claims with State Farm, USAA, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, Erie, Farm Bureau, and Nationwide, among others.
What does "GAF Certified Contractor" actually mean?
Only about 7% of roofing contractors in the U.S. hold the GAF Certified designation. It requires verified workmanship standards, ongoing training, and a clean license history. The practical benefit for you: only GAF Certified contractors can register the GAF System Plus Lifetime Limited Warranty — the strongest residential roofing warranty in North America. We register that warranty for every qualifying job, at no extra cost to you.
Are estimates really free?
Yes. Free measure-up, free inspection, free itemized estimate. No deposit to schedule and no pressure to commit. We'd rather you take the quote home, compare us to a couple other GAF Certified contractors, and come back when you're ready.
What towns do you serve?
We're based in Athens, TN and regularly work across McMinn, Bradley, Monroe, Meigs, Hamilton, Knox, and Blount counties. That covers Cleveland, Etowah, Sweetwater, Madisonville, Decatur, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Maryville, Ooltewah, Lenoir City, Loudon, Farragut, and the surrounding lake communities.
