Roofers in East Tn-near Oak Ridge

[vontar]

Just wondering if anyone has any good recommendations on roofers in East TN, Near Oak Ridge.

 

I have a feeling it won't be long before I need a new Roof and guttering and would like to start looking at my options.

 

Roof shingles vs metal roof?  I have a chimney in the center of my roof.

What if in the future I want to add solar panels?

 

 

Any ball park price ideas on say a roof that covers 1000 sq?  Kinda small house.

_{I had Adams Roofing put a roof on my house in Lenoir City almost three years ago.  Absolutely top notch.  Bonded and insured.  Been in the roofing business for about thirty years, if I remember correctly.  Great reputation and price was very fair.}

Roofing By RLI from Knoxville did mine last fall.

 

I took a series of bids among about 10-12 local providers, and did interviews based on my constructing the house to begin with, my own measurements during the bidding process, and a set of Eagleview diagrams.

 

Trust me, before winning the bid, and during the job, I put them through the wringer. 

 

They earned every penny, and my endorsement.

 

A very close #2 on my list was Pankratz Construction in Maryville.

 

Either company will do an outstanding job for you.

Jim White did an excellent job on my roof about a year ago.  He had 9 guys and they did the whole job in 1 day, including some custom flashing that was painted to match my faded trim.  http://jimwhitebuilders.com/

 

 

Flashing around a chimney should be child's play for a good roofer.  For a basic shingle roof with decent quality shingles... $5000-6000-ish.  Double that for the nice powder coated metal stuff.

 

Solar panels are easily installed over existing roofing.  Metal roofing may be a more of an issue simply because it's so slippery.

Tim Crowley from Crowley construction. Just a good all around honest man to deal with. Uses better quality materials than code requires and even fixes holes from shotgun blasts.

It was just the flashing at the chimney had started to come lose.  It is being reattached and patched as I type this.

 

estimate should have at least 2+ years left on the roof.  Time enough to start setting money aside for this pending project.  When I do, I am going to go metal.

Metal can be DIY, with some tools and skills.  One of my neighbors did his rather steep roof himself.  Took him about a month, but he got it all done.  I'd get some quotes now to have a better idea of how much you'll need to save.  Thankfully mine was covered by insurance as I had lots of hail and wind damage.
