Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Johnson City, TN homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Everything we do on a roof, done by crews who have been doing it the same careful way since 2002.
New skylights set into metal or shingle roofs, with the flashing kit the roof actually calls for rather than a tube of sealant.
One leak usually has company. We fix the one you called about and check over the rest of the roof while we are already up there.
This is the work our name is attached to. Two decades of tin roofs on houses, churches, barns and additions, installed by crews who cut the trim on site instead of forcing something that almost fits.
Slate and tile take patience and matching pieces. We replace broken and slipped units and rework the flashing they hide.
Most roofs somebody has called a lost cause are not one. We repair what can be repaired, and we tell you honestly when a repair will no longer hold.
Not every hailstorm ruins a roof. We look before we tell you anything, and if the damage is only cosmetic we will say that too.
We repair standing seam, exposed fastener panels and metal shingles, and we match the color as closely as the paint system will allow.
Churches, shops, barns and small commercial buildings. We have roofed everything from a wood shed to a steeple.
Reflective coatings keep a metal roof cooler in summer and seal up the small stuff before it turns into a leak.
Buying, selling, or just want to know how many years you have left? We look, we tell you, and we do not turn it into a pitch for a roof you do not need.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
Hard wind lifts shingles and works panel fasteners loose along the edges, which is exactly where the next storm gets underneath. We refasten, replace and reseal.
A shingle repair should not be visible from the street. We match as close as the weathering allows and blend the new work into the old.
We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.
A limb through the roof or panels peeled back overnight needs covering now, not next week. We get it dried in first so the inside of the house stops taking damage.
When a roof is genuinely finished we replace it, and we say so plainly rather than dressing it up. Metal and shingle priced side by side so you can compare real numbers.
Rotted fascia and sagging soffit let water and animals in behind the roof edge. We cut the bad wood out and put new in.
The layer you never see is what keeps water out on the ugly days. We do not thin it out to save a few dollars on a bid.
After a storm we walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and write an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.
Steam and hand work, never a hammer and chisel on your roof. Then we check the eaves for the damage the ice already did.
Standing seam and metal panels have been our specialty since 2002. Around Johnson City that means everything from a small porch roof to a full house in dark green, burgundy or bronze, cut and fit on site by crews who have done hundreds of them.
A metal roof done right in Johnson City should be quiet inside, straight from the street, and still there long after you have stopped thinking about it. That takes sound decking, real underlayment, and panels that are actually square. We do not skip those parts to save a day.
Why people around Johnson City call us back and send their neighbors our way.
The same family started this company putting metal roofs on neighbors houses in 2002. It has never been sold, franchised or handed off to a call center.
If your roof needs a repair and not a replacement, we say so. Plenty of our best customers are people we talked out of a job they did not need yet.
Somebody comes out, measures, gets on the roof, and leaves you a written price. No charge, no obligation, and no number that expires if you do not sign today.
Around twenty standard metal colors, and the chart comes out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding and shutters before you commit.
You get a start date and we hold to it. If weather moves your job we call you, rather than leaving you watching the driveway.
Straight answers to what Johnson City homeowners ask us most often.
For most Johnson City homes, yes. A metal roof costs more up front than shingles, but it usually outlives two or three shingle roofs, sheds rain and snow better, and does not peel off in a hard wind. We will price metal and shingle side by side so you can compare real numbers instead of guessing.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Johnson City metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Johnson City roofs we get called to look at need flashing reworked or a section refastened, not a whole new roof. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at, and if it is repairable we would rather repair it.
Plenty of them. Most Johnson City customers choose from around twenty standard colors, and green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones people pick most. We bring the color chart out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Johnson City roof and write an itemized estimate you can hand to your adjuster. We do not file the claim for you and we will not promise you what an adjuster is going to approve — that is their call, not ours.
A metal roof installed properly on a Johnson City home should give you 40 to 60 years, and standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners. Screws and sealants on a panel roof want attention around year 20, which is a small job next to a re-roof.
