Dependable Middle Tennessee Residential Roofers

RESIDENTIAL ROOFING

TENNESSEE'S TOP ROOFING COMPANY

“Most people think of a new roof as just banging up some shingles. But savvy homeowners know better! Today, effective roofing relies on advanced material technology and an integrated systems approach to protect your biggest asset— your home.”

Typical roof systems such as asphalt shingles keep approximately 75% of the water out of your home. A proper roofing system must be designed after careful inspection and examination of your project’s unique conditions and details. A condition is a structural element such as valleys, flashing and/or ventilation, etc… that must be individually and collectively addressed to keep your project watertight.

Each condition may contain a single or collection of details. For example, many building structures have the flashing condition that must be carefully and skillfully addressed during construction. Most often the flashing condition will have a collection of details such as chimneys, sidewalls, and/or headwalls, etc… which call for correct design, fabrication, material specifications, and installation to assist your roofing material in keeping your home watertight and energy-efficient. This is accomplished through the formulation of a scope of work and material specifications that are custom-tailored to meet your needs and individual preferences such as price, budgets, and/or aesthetics.

We come to your home and inspect the entire exterior of your home as well as your attic when it is made available to us in order to nail down what must be done (your scope of work) and what materials must be used (your material specifications) to successfully keep your building structure watertight. This process is where the apples are defined in the common apples-to-apples price/contractor selection comparison we trust and are often let down by.

THE ANTEBELLUM ROOFWORKS SYSTEM:

BIDDING STAGE:

1. PROPER INSPECTION AND DESIGN:

We arrive at your project and thoroughly inspect all the conditions and details unique to your job. We take the extra time now in order to eliminate surprises during construction. We are here to solve your problems and meet your expectations at a fair price so we check the entire building envelope in order to recommend the best scope of work and material specifications available. This extra effort is the first step in assuring our customers that they will receive the best job at a fair price. The information gathered during our measure call sets the tone for the project and gives you the ability to accurately compare apples to apples and control your projects price and quality.

2. PROPER SCOPE OF WORK AND MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS:

Our professional staff, experience and attention shows up in our estimates and bids. Because we took the extra time during your inspection we have the information to formulate a fair and accurate bid. We use state of the art estimating software to give you fair and accurate bids in a timely and professional manner. Because the average person only buys a roofing system once or twice in a lifetime the decision on what work needs to be done, what contractor is right for the job and what price is fair and reasonable is an uneasy and too often unfair to the property owner. We take the time during the bidding stage to provide you the information and details in a format that is easy for the average person to understand. We back up our recommendations with 3rd party information from manufacturers and building codes so you will truly appreciate and understand what a standard installation is so you can protect your roofing $’s and the investment you are putting in us and your home.

CONSTRUCTION STAGE:

1. PRECONSTRUCTION:

Proper communication is essential to your project’s success. To meet your expectations and roofing need we must inform all parties in the project chain from crews to vendors to make your job run smoothly and to avoid costly mistakes and errors once construction proceeds. We go over the scope of work and material specifications before construction starts so we can get on and off your project quickly without missing or skipping any of the details crucial to your project’s success.

2. ROOF REMOVAL:

Whether you choose to tear offal existing roofs or simply install another roof over an existing one there is a certain amount of old roofing to be removed. When this is done your building is open to the elements, so you need a contractor with the experience, resources, manpower, and most importantly insurance to get the job done. Tearing off is always your best option because it uncovers hidden damages such as wood rot as well as revealing the sources of leaks and faulty designs and workmanship that follows most new roofing systems. Consider roofing over an existing roof a huge band-aid.

3. ROUGH CARPENTRY:

We are true construction craftsman who know how to handle more than roofing, gutter, and architectural sheet metal. We have the experience and resources to handle any rough carpentry conditions and details that may arise on your project. These conditions and details must be properly repaired before your new roof is installed so we arrive to your project with the equipment and manpower to handle the situation should they arise. If your roof has had a history of leaking you probably will have some rotten wood to replace before your new roof is installed. Common rough carpentry details in need of replacement are rotten decking and rafters at roof edges, chimneys, and projections through the roofing material.

4. ROOF EDGE ASSEMBLY:

Drip edge is the first roofing component of your new roof system. Think of drip edge as starting off your roof right. Drip edge is one of the most important yet overlooked component of roofing systems. Experts recommend and both manufacturers installation procedures and local building codes specify that a metal drip edge should be installed at roof eaves and rakes. Do not be fooled by roofing companies who tell you that you do not need a drip edge because you live in the south. Drip edge does help with snow related roofing problems, but they also keep wind driven rains out of roof edges which we do get here every year. It is good roofing practice to use a metal drip edge and one of the least expensive roof system components to install.

5. LEAK BARRIER:

Leak Barrier or ice and watershield is another system component often overlooked or left out during roof construction. We follow manufacturers recommendations and guidelines and install ice and watershield leak barriers to the most critical areas on your roof such as chimneys, valleys, skylights etc.… Ice and watershield is the only system components that is waterproof instead of water-shedding. It is also the only component with North and South design and installation considerations. We install it where it is recommended and design options for you to have it installed in less traditional but equally important areas of your building such as sidewalls and headwalls. Install a leak barrier where water has a chance of entering the building envelope because sometimes felt paper alone cannot get the job done no matter how good the material or installation is.

6. UNDERLAYMENT:

Roofing felts are sheet materials installed between the roof deck and the primary roof covering. Roof felts are used to separate the roof covering from the roof deck, to shed water and to provide secondary weather protection for the roof area of the building. Roofing felts help prevent wind driven rain from infiltrating your roof covering and causing damage to your roof structure and or the inside of your building. Using a quality roofing felt is advised because traditional roofing felts such as # 15 or #30 are organic (paper based) products, they often wrinkle and buckle and do not lay flat on the roof deck thus increasing your risks of blow-offs. We recommend a # 15 fiberglass felts or new synthetic felts because they lay flat and are most often covered as a system component of your roof covering material warranty.

7. ROOF VALLEYS:

A roof valley is the internal angle formed by the intersection of two sloping roof planes. Roof valleys are a critical condition of your roof system because they carry large volumes water off the field of your roof. Your roof covering dictates which style of roof valley construction available to you. Typical choices are open valleys, woven valleys, closed cut valleys and california cut valleys. Although each type has its specific advantages, we recommend a closed out valley because they incorporate some of the advantages of the other two choices. They are partially open, allow for rapid drainage and are relatively water resistant because they are typically composed of at least four layers of roofing material.

8. ROOF COVERING:

There are many different options available to you depending on whether you have a steep slope, low slope or a combination of the two. Steep slope roof covering options are metal panels, metal shingles, asphalt shingles, slate, tile and wood shakes. Low Slope roofing options are metal panels, and a collection of rubber sheet membranes such as EPDM, Modified Bitumen, TPO and SBS self-adhering roof systems. Each system has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of waterproofing ability, installation, maintenance, and life cycle costs as well as other important considerations such as aesthetics and curb appeal. One should consider those factors before deciding what roof system to install. It is also important to remember that whichever roof system you choose that they do not meet your waterproofing needs alone but instead work as part of an integral system with other conditions such as underlayment’s, flashing and ventilation to keep your building envelope watertight.

9. VENTILATION:

Poor attic ventilation can raise your energy costs and cause your roofing system to fail prematurely. It is estimated that 9 out of 10 homes are improperly ventilated because most people are unaware of the impact ventilation can have on the longevity of their home and roof system. Typical problems caused by inadequate roof ventilation are premature aging and failure of the roof system, warping, cracking Roof ventilation is crucial to roof performance and for a long-lasting roofing system and the breaking down of the roof deck and wood framing, damage to siding, exterior and interior paint and wallpaper, high energy costs, mildew growth, buckled shingles and felt and costly leaks and damages caused ice dams. Proper ventilation is a balanced effort between intake and exhaust vents that allow a continuous flow of outside air through the attic cavity thus protecting insulation efficiency and helping to reduce temperatures inside the building structure.

10. ROOF FLASHING:

Roof flashings are used to weatherproof and seal roof systems at perimeter edges, penetrations, walls, expansion joints, valleys, drains and other places where the roof covering is interrupted or terminated. Roof flashings are fabricated out of sheet metal materials such as aluminum, steel, zinc and copper. Roof flashings are the most important component of a roof system assembly, and their proper design, fabrication and installation is crucial to your roof covering’s ability to keep out the elements. Roof flashings are the most common sources of water leaks because they are all too often overlooked or not properly fabricated and installed if they are installed at all. This problem is so prevalent because not all roof mechanics or roofing companies possess the skill, equipment and integrity to handle roof flashing conditions and details. Roof lashing is one of the roof systems most costly components as well often accounting for as much as 30% of the total job cost. It is for these reasons the cheaper unskilled and dishonest contractors fail to address the condition during new and reroof installations to get a job. Sometimes you can reuse flashings in reroof applications, but you should rely on an expert and honest inspection and assessment. You are asking for trouble when you put a 20 – 50-year roof system on top of aged, damaged, or missing flashing details in capable of lasting as long as the service life expectancy of the roof covering.

11. ARCHITECTURAL SHEET METAL:

Architectural Sheet Metal is metal roofing and flashing designed fabricated and installed to not only weatherproof your building but to do so in an aesthetically pleasing way. Nothing lasts longer or is more eye catching then a quality architectural sheet metal product. Most building structures are designed to be aesthetically pleasing and architectural sheet metal products will not only meet your weather proofing needs but do so in a way that sets your projects curb appeal apart from the rest. Common architectural sheet metal products are chimney caps, bay windows, conductor heads, turrets, finials, kitchen stove hoods, and much more. A high degree of skill and craftsmanship is needed with specialized equipment to fabricate and install architectural sheet metal products. We pride ourselves in being able to design, fabricate and install one of our standard products or work with your designs to produce a product to your satisfaction. We can also replicate existing details and designs to preserve the historical integrity of your project.

12. ROOF DRAINAGE / GUTTER:

Gutters are very important because they protect your home from its worst enemy…. water. Unless there are long overhangs on your roof or your property is steeply graded you must have a working gutter system to route roof runoff away from your home. It is extremely important for gutters and downpipes to clear rainwater quickly and efficiently from your roof and building structure. When you do not have a properly installed gutter system water drains too close to the building structure and saturates the ground. This wet saturated ground creates a variety of problems. It is a breeding ground for mold and mildew and will eat away at foundations and basement walls. Driveways and walkways and floors can warp, bow and become wet, molded or stained.

13. ROOFTOP EQUIPMENT:

Most roofs have some sort of equipment either attached to or extending through your roof deck and accompanying roof covering system. Common roof top equipment are sky lights, mechanical equipment like gas vents and plumbing pipes. All rooftop equipment relies on a properly installed flashing system to seal their penetration through the roof surface. Because rooftop equipment is usually associated with other trades like electrical, plumbing and heat and air they are often source of leaks. The other tradesmen installing them are usually not familiar with roof covering and roof flashing procedures and simply do not feel or take responsibility for roof leaks. Although we are a roofing, gutter and architectural sheet metal tradesmen we notice the other work associated with your roof system and make sure they are properly installed and working as a system to keep your building watertight.

14. SOFFIT AND FASCIA:

Soffit and Fascia are components of your roof and siding system. They are instrumental in helping to keep your building weatherproof. Fascia is the trim located at the perimeter of a building that works to waterproof the interior portions of the structure. Soffits are the enclosed underside of any exterior overhanging section of a roof eave. Although soffits and fascia are not typically installed by roofing professionals they should be included as part of the integral roof system because they work both independently and collectively in keeping the building envelope watertight.

15. SIDING, TRIM, AND WINDOWS:

Siding, windows, and their associated trims are other sources of leaks. They are associated with your roof system and typically are installed and maintained by tradesmen outside the roofing industry. They are not typically considered roofing issues, but they do project through your building structure making them vulnerable to water leaks. Although windows and siding are outside our trade craft, we inspect these areas and will inform you of problems and provide you with solutions to these problems.

16. WATERPROOFING AND HOME MAINTENANCE:

No matter how well built your building structure is it will require some amount of maintenance to keep it performing to its potential. Your building will settle causing cracks in masonry and a disturbance to seals all of which can cause your building to be open to the elements. Some problems are natural occurrences while other maintenance issues are a direct result of poor design and workmanship. Brick masons often use too much sand in their mortar mix to stretch the material dollar. This practice makes your chimney and other masonry details act like a sponge that soaks water and must be sealed much like your driveway to keep the water out. Keeping water out of your home is a job that requires us to be more than roofers. Sometimes we must transcend the ordinary expectations and be part roofer and responsible trade partner looking past their individual trade. For example, when your trees grow, and their branches extend onto the roof surface they block the flow of water and scratch and puncture the roofing material. We take care of those problems in lieu of saying that they are non-roofing issues that are the responsibility of others. Our maintenance division can handle a variety of non-roofing related issues and handyman services. We do more than roofing we can mow your yard, repair a leaky faucet, repair the drywall damaged by leaks and much more.

17. PROFESSIONAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND QUALITY ASSURANCE:

The greatest benefit, resource and asset we provide you is our superior and experienced project management experience. Anyone can sit back and send a crew of unsupervised workers to your site to install your roofing, gutter or architectural sheet metal system as quickly and cheaply as possible. These same undedicated subcontractors are hard to count on except for when they send you an invoice for incomplete or defective installations because they did not properly supervise or check the quality of their crew’s installation. We supervise each installation and are on the job throughout the project making sure we are delivering you a product and installation that you can count on to reduce your liabilities and protect your profits and reputation. We have years of experience we put to work for you and make sure you get a job that exceeds industry standards while providing a professional and open line of communication between you and our crews and other trades associated with your roofing, gutter and architectural sheet metal project. We provide daily and completed project quality assurance checks and put your worries to rest by providing you proof of these quality installations with photographs and completed forms and checklist designed to check every aspect of your roof systems installation from start to finish.

MULTIPLE ROOF TYPE EXPERTS

SHINGLE, TILE, METAL AND MORE

Asphalt Shingle Roof:

Asphalt shingles are extremely durable, especially considering their inexpensive cost. They are also incredibly easy to install. A medium-sized roofing project can take as little as a 8- 10 hours with an experienced crew, including removal of old roofing materials. Over the years, engineering has improved asphalt shingles’ use as a roofing material.

Standing Seam Metal Roof:

A standing seam roof system consists of long panels of sheet metal secured by clips, fasteners or other means. Each panel slides onto the grooves of the next one and is seamed together using special equipment. These roofs and exteriors are corrosion resistant, waterproof, lightweight and quickly shed any water or snow. They are also desirable because they evoke a contemporary “industrial-chic” look or a classic farmhouse appearance.

Slate Roof:

Slate has been used as a roofing material by civilizations for centuries. It is beautiful, durable, waterproof, fireproof and energy efficient. Natural slates have perhaps the longest life expectancy of any sloped roofing material when installed properly. Additionally, slate tiles are one of the most environmentally friendly roofing options. They have the lowest embodied energy of any building material, meaning they take the least amount of total energy to produce.

Wood Shakes Roof:

Wood roofs are a highly-traditional building component that has been used by various cultures for centuries. Their gorgeous appearance and unique decorative abilities make them still in demand today.

Tile Roof:

Tiles are installed by “hanging” them with nails or hooks upon an underlying structure. Each tile layers over the bottom ones like shingles. This design makes them shed water and it also conceals the hanging materials. Spanish-style “barrel” tiles also vent air through the bottom of the grooves, offering excellent temperature regulation in hot weather.

We offer various services tailor-made to your home

Roof Repairs:

Our residential roof repair department works with homeowners and residential property owners to find and implement the best possible solutions for their roofing system. We have a program and solution for each service request we receive in order to provide the most efficient and professional experience for all of our clients. * We provide before and after photographs of repairs upon request. We service a full line of residential and steep slope roofing systems such as:

Asphalt Shingles
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Screw Down Metal Roofing
Metal Shingles
Slate Roofs
Wood Shake Roofs
Tile Roofs

Roof Replacements:

Roof replacement systems, commonly referred to as a “tear-off systems”, include the removal and replacement of the existing roof system. Roof replacement systems are undoubtedly the best solution if an owner is planning on keeping the building for the long-term. They provide a lower maintenance cost and give peace of mind to know that problems are least likely to occur. Lastly, they can provide significant energy savings as new insulation is installed, which, lowers the real cost of the project. We service and install a full line of residential and steep slope roofing systems such as:

Asphalt Shingles
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Screw Down Metal Roofing
Metal Shingles
Slate Roofs
Wood Shake Roofs
Tile Roofs

Roof Recovery:

The installation of a new roofing system over an existing roof is, if viable an alternative approach to roof replacement. The major advantage to this approach is the cost savings associatied with not having to remove and dispose of the existing roof membrane. Another advantage is the reduction of materials sent to landfills because labor, disposal, and trucking costs are often higher than material costs. Our roof recovery system can provide significant cost savings. (Only certain roofs qualify.)

Historical Roof Restoration:

A historical roof is different from almost any other type of roofing job. This is because the goal of a historical roof project is not only to repair or update a roof, but it also involves doing such in a way that retains the original look and material used. After all, if you replace a slate tile roof on a historical building with an asphalt tile one, you have destroyed the very essence of the building. Many historical buildings will be protected by state or local regulations that only allow specific materials and methodologies to be used, and we support that fully. But there are also plenty of buildings which also have a historical roof that that are not legally protected, yet should be treated like the architectural treasures they are. In this piece, we will go over the different types of historical roofs and materials, and give you some information and insight regarding the restoration of such. We hope you find it interesting.

The goal of a historical roof restoration is to replace a roof so it retains the character and (if possible) the same core materials as the original roof system. At times, there are limits to this goal, as some local building codes place restrictions on some older roofing systems (for example, in some areas, wood shingles and shakes due to fire hazards.) When that happens, careful consideration should be taken to preserve the building’s character as best possible.

Recommended Steps in a Historic Restoration: We follow the guidelines outlined by the preservation experts from the National Park Service whenever we restore a historic structure’s roof:

Identify, retain and preserve: This includes the roof’s shape and material type, as well as decorative features such as cupolas, chimney caps and any patterning to material or craftsmanship techniques (such as soldering).
Protect and maintain historical features when restoring/improving: Downspouts, proper ventilation, roof fasteners… maintaining character while also improving performance is the goal (and, truth be told, is an art.)
Repairing damaged historical features: Reinforcement of historical materials that comprise the roof features. Repairs are generally “replacement in kind” with compatible substitute materials. Extremely deteriorated and missing parts to features such as cupolas and roofing materials should be repaired correctly to retain historical character.
Replace: When efforts to repair and retain are no longer options, it is necessary to replace while reproducing the features and materials that give the roof its character.
Recreate: When historical features are missing or hopelessly damaged, it becomes necessary to design and construct a new feature. Recreations and reproductions can come from pictorial, historical or other physical documentation. Design and reproduction of historical features is a challenging task requiring a qualified craftsman. Alterations & Additions: Like recreations, additions and alterations should only be considered after all other preservation efforts have failed or are not viable options. For example, when it’s necessary to install maintenance / mechanical equipment, it’s important to make conscious efforts to maintain historical character and obscure their presence as much as possible. Additions for new living space may become necessary but also should not interfere with the historical character.

Roof Restorations:

A complete roof replacement project can be expensive, intrusive, loud and time consuming. Why replace when you can restore at a fraction of the cost? This sustainable solution offers a cost effective approach to extending the life of your current roof system. There’s also tax advantages to consider as roof restoration systems are typically classified as a maintenance expense and not as a capital expenditure. (Only certain roof’s will qualify.)

Roof Preventative Maintenance:

A roof preventative maintenance plan will save you on average, $.08/sq. ft. per year vs. a more reactive approach. Typically, roof systems that are maintained, last roughly 8 years longer than non-maintained roof systems. Roof installations account for only 10% of the total cost of constructing a building, but 90% of is problems down the road.

A custom-tailored preventative maintenance and inspection plan:

Fewer Roof Leaks – We Repair Roof Deficiencies Before They Are a Problem.
Longer Roof Service Life.
Budgeted and Anticipated Roof Replacement.
Lower Life Cycle Costs.
Reduction in Costly Emergency or Crisis Repairs.
Reports and Roof Condition Data are Easily Understood and Provide a Grading System by Roof Section.
Recommendations are Provided with an Executive Summary of Roof Conditions.
Light Maintenance and Repairs may be Added onto the Inspection Visit

Roof Inspection & Certification:

Because fraudulent roofing practices and contractors are rampant, thus bringing the industry’s reputation down, most property owners accept less, resulting in bad roofing systems, choices, and investments. Antebellum Roofworks eliminates your risks and insures your liability with our ROOF CERTIFICATION PLAN.

Protect yourself, the seller, and the buyer by knowing the condition of the roof. The roof is one of the most expensive and important elements to any house. Unsuspected roof problems could catch you off guard and potentially cost you thousands of dollars, not to mention associated headache and stress.

ROOF CERIFICATION PLAN PROCESS:

The Antebellum Roofworks Residential Roof Inspection and Certification process is performed prior to the closing of escrow on a home purchase transaction.

The certification process involves a comprehensive roof inspection. Inspections are performed within 2-3 business days of an order or on a rush basis when needed.
After the initial inspection is performed we determine if the roof requires repairs or if we can certify the roof for up to 2 years.
If it is determined that we can certify the roof for the 2 years, we are guaranteeing the roof will not leak during this period of time.

There are a number of other factors that we cannot assume liability for such as extreme acts of nature (earthquakes, high winds, hailstorms etc.), other contractor damage and tenant improvements.

Antebellum Roofworks will then call and provide a verbal explanation of the roof inspection to the real estate agent. The prepared report can be faxed or e-mailed with a hard copy mailed to all appropriate parties.

If it is determined that a certificate can be issued we will provide:

the inspection report and a two-year certification that can be transferred as needed. Separate fees apply for the initial inspection and for the Roof Certificate.
If the roof requires repairs before a certificate can be issued, Antebellum Roofworks will aid in the repair process by dispatching qualified roofers to your jobsite.
An inspector from Antebellum Roofworks returns for a follow-up inspection once the repairs are performed.
The certificate is valid from the issue date for two years. Certificates are transferable.
For those roofs that do not pass due to age, leaking or in our opinion, need roof repairs to receive a Roof Certification an estimate will be given. After repairs have been completed a Roof Certification will be issued with a Two year Roof guarantee to repair roof leaks

Roof Condition Assessments:

Our Roof Condition Assessments will provide you with a thorough understanding of the existing condition of your roof system to help ensure it will achieve the maximum projected service life. Our roof inspection services offer the foundation for an easily managed and financially sound program for roof maintenance and repair. Roof Asset Management will identify immediate roof deficiencies, potential problems and develop an ongoing roof maintenance plan and schedule.

Roof Asset Management:

Asset Management programs provide important financial guidance in making difficult repair versus replacement decisions. We provide our customers the ability to compare the annual investment of a repair relative to the annual investment of a new roof, simplifying the decision and providing the information needed to reduce both ownership and operating costs.

Our Roof Asset Management programs provide:

Annual/Bi-Annual Reviews – A thorough review of your roof system.
Preventative Maintenance – Identify potential roof problems.
Financial Planning – Long range budgeting to help manage costs to avoid unexpected expenses.
Warranty Assistance – Implementation of warranty maintenance requirements.
Online Database Access – instant access to roof drawings, photographs, repair history, and budget information for your entire portfolio.

According to the National Roofing Contractor’s Association (NRCA), the implementation of a comprehensive roof asset management program can increase the service life of your roof by 30% to 200%.

Roof Consulting Services:

Our years of roofing industry experience ensure our roofing specifications meet all industry standards, state and local codes, and energy standards. Being armed with accurate information allows confident, prioritized performance-based decisions to be made in order to maximize the effectiveness of roofing investments

Thermal Inspections:

Infrared Thermography Scans are a proven method for detecting trapped moisture in the existing roof system. It can help prevent equipment downtime, production loss, and help pinpoint those hard to find roof leaks. Infrared Thermography Scans are required when considering cost-effective solutions such as roof restoration or recovery as it helps to diagnose the condition of the existing roof system in question. Due to high costs associated with roof replacement, we recommend that infrared thermography scans are performed anytime a building is being sold, purchased, or leased.

We bought an antebellum house and the roof was leaking when we took occupancy. There was a porch with an internal gutter system that other roofers were intimidated by. We hired Kevin to do an entire roof replacement. Kevin knows what he is doing, was very professional, and did a great job. I cannot recommend him enough, and I would say my interaction with him has probably been my most pleasant experience with a contractor.

Kevin the owner, took before pictures of our roof damage in order to show us the problem as well as taking after pictures to show us that he had fixed it. He worked with our insurance company and saved us a lot of money. Very professional, southern hospitality.
