We have been helping homes and businesses in Eastern Tennessee with their roofing needs for over 18 years. There is a reason they have chosen us over corporate roofing companies.
In this guide, we will explain those reasons. From there, you can decide what type of roofing company you want to deal with roof installation, maintenance, and repairs.
Let’s begin.
Many local roofers guarantee excellent roofing material and adjustments to your roof. If your shingles didn’t last as long as they should, you could get replacements without a charge.
Or, if they didn't do the best job with the installation, they may return and fix their mistake for free. Not all companies offer this guarantee. So you will need to ask them before requesting their services.
Local roofing contractors understand all local building codes. With this knowledge, you can avoid facing penalties from the local government. Or voiding warranties for roofing materials.
Here’s an example. Nashville, Tennessee’s R905.1, roofers must install roof coverings that resist cladding [1]. Otherwise, the material warranty may become void.
Failure to follow this code means you can’t get your money back from the manufacturer if your roofing materials have issues. However, local roofing specialists will follow all building codes.
Local roofing contractors will offer more personalized customer service. That means an actual person will speak to you instead of trying to direct you to FAQ pages (or forcing you to talk to chatbots).
An issue with more prominent roofing companies that many encounter is they do not truly listen to your needs. Or offer recommendations tailored to their homes or businesses.
Local roofers will offer personalized consulting services. That means you’ll hear detailed recommendations on roofing materials, when you’ll need maintenance, and other ways to protect your home throughout the year.
Since local roofing companies station their businesses in your area, they can respond quickly to emergencies.
So when your home suffers from storm damages, you won’t have to wait a day or two for a larger roofing company to send someone over. And that means you can fix your roofing issues sooner.
You’ll need a company that knows the suitable roofing material to prepare your home for the various storms (and potential tornados) throughout the year. A roofing company not familiar with the area may not understand that nuance.
Thus, your roof may suffer from more damage than necessary. This lack of knowledge could result in costly repairs and replacements. Local contractors can also recommend the best times to come and maintain your roof.
Regular roof maintenance can help reduce the likelihood of damages during a storm.
When a tornado or windstorm hits your town and decimates your roof, you’ll need to repair or replace it immediately. Otherwise, you risk leaks entering your home and damaging your walls or furniture.
Bigger companies may take more time to get to your home. Meanwhile, local contractors could start fixing your roof within hours.
