Roof Replacement

Signs Your Roof Is Ready to Be Replaced

Most asphalt shingle roofs in Chattanooga reach the end of their life somewhere around 20 to 25 years. Summer heat dries out the asphalt, granules wash into the gutters, and shingles begin to curl, crack, or lose their seal. Once that happens across the whole roof, repairs turn into a cycle of patching one leak only to find the next.

Watch for shingles curling at the edges or cupping in the middle, bald patches where granules have worn away, daylight or water stains in the attic, sagging along the ridge, and repeated leaks in different spots. Any two of those together usually mean it is time to plan an asphalt shingle roof replacement instead of waiting for an emergency.

Planning ahead gives you choices. You can pick your shingle style and color, schedule the work in good weather, and budget for it, instead of paying for interior water damage on top of a new roof.

Ventilation is the part of a replacement most homeowners never think about, and the part that most affects how long the new roof lasts. Trapped attic heat bakes shingles from below, so balancing intake vents at the eaves with exhaust vents at the ridge is built into every replacement. A roof replacement is also the right time to look at the gutters, drip edge, and any skylights, since those edges are already open.

What's Included

A Complete Roof System, Not Just New Shingles

Full Tear-Off

Old shingles and underlayment come off down to the decking, so hidden rot is found and replaced instead of buried under a new layer.

Underlayment & Leak Barrier

Synthetic underlayment covers the deck, with ice and water shield in valleys and around penetrations where leaks usually start.

Ventilation, Flashing & Drip Edge

Balanced attic ventilation, new flashing, and drip edge protect the roof from heat buildup and from water at every edge.

10-Year

Workmanship Warranty

Every Replacement Is Backed in Writing

Your new shingles carry the manufacturer’s warranty. The installation carries our 10-year workmanship warranty, so if a problem traces back to how the roof was put on, it gets fixed at no cost to you.

FAQ

Roof Replacement Questions

How much does a new roof cost in Chattanooga?

Price depends on the size and pitch of your roof, how many layers are coming off, the condition of the decking, and the shingle line you choose. A free inspection with measurements gives you an exact written number instead of a guess.

Can new shingles go over my old roof?

Codes may allow a second layer in some cases, but a full tear-off is almost always the better choice. It lets damaged decking be found and replaced, and many manufacturer warranties favor it.

Do I need to be home during the replacement?

No. As long as the crew can reach the driveway and an outdoor outlet, you can go about your day. Expect noise while the old roof comes off.

What happens if rotted decking is found?

Damaged sheets are replaced before the new roof goes on. Your estimate lists the price per sheet up front, so there are no surprises on the final invoice.

How long will my new roof last?

A properly installed architectural shingle roof with good attic ventilation commonly lasts 20 to 25 years or more in Chattanooga. Ventilation and installation quality affect that number as much as the shingle itself.

Which shingle color is best for a hot climate?

Lighter colors absorb less heat than dark ones, which can help keep the attic cooler in summer. Many homeowners still choose darker shades for looks, and good attic ventilation matters more than color.
