  • Are architectural shingles worth the extra cost?

    According to RubyHome, installing a new roof is one of the few exterior home upgrades that offers a 100% cost recovery. If you're adding a new roof to your home, architectural shingles are definitely worth investing in. They come with a longer warranty and are more resistant to wind, hail, and storms than regular shingles. Our expert team of roofing contractors in Chattanooga, TN will be happy to install architectural shingles for you. Contact The Roof Doctor Inc today to learn more.

  • Is synthetic underlayment better than felt?

    Yes, it is stronger, and it transfers heat less, which allows your shingles to last longer. Our roofing contractors in Chattanooga, TN will be happy to explain these benefits in more detail when we work on your roof.

  • Is ventilation in a house important for the roof?

    Yes, our roofing contractors in Chattanooga, TN have seen firsthand that the more ventilation you have in your attic space, the longer your shingles and decking will last, potentially lowering your overall cooling costs.

  • Should I trust roofing companies that knock on my front door?

    Not all the time. Check with a local trusted roofer for a second opinion. Call the roofing contractors Chattanooga, TN residents swear by today!

  • Is it okay to put a second layer of shingles over an existing layer?

    Our roofing contractors in Chattanooga, TN don't advise doing this, but it can be allowed as far as code is concerned. However, multiple layers of shingles can cause the second layer to age and degrade more quickly, and in some situations, this can void the warranty of a new roof.
