Our process
What to expect, start to finish
A new roof is a big project on the house you live in. Here's how it goes.
Step by step
Six steps to a new roof
Request.
Fill out the estimate request. We'll follow up to learn about your roof and set up what's next.
Your estimate.
We measure your roof and write up an itemized estimate, in one tier or several so you can compare.
Choose and schedule.
Pick your brand, tier and color. We order materials and put you on the schedule.
Tear-off day.
The crew strips the old roof, checks the deck and starts the new layers.
New roof.
Leak barrier, flashing, ventilation, shingles and ridge caps go on.
Cleanup and walk-through.
We haul away debris, clean up, and go over the finished roof with you.
Tear-off day
What tear-off day looks like at your house
- Expect a truck, trailer or dumpster near the driveway
- It's loud. Hammers and nail guns run most of the day.
- The old roof comes off, the deck gets checked, and new layers start going on
- We clean up as we go and before we leave
Weather
Working around Knoxville weather
Summer weather can turn fast. We watch the forecast and schedule tear-off around it. If weather moves your date, we'll tell you as soon as we know.
Before we start
Getting your home ready
Move vehicles.
Move cars out of the garage and driveway the night before.

Hammering can shake pictures and shelves on walls under the roof.
Tell us what we should know.
Pets, gate codes, or anything in the attic we should protect.
