Roofing Questions and Answers 

  • Do I need to be present when my roof is being installed/repaired?

    INTERCEPT ROOFING doesn’t need to go inside your home to install or repair your home. We will work from the outside, and you don’t have to be present, when our technicians work on your roof.

  • How do I know if I need a new roof?

    Most roofing shingles, tiles and shakes usually have a 15-to-30-year life span depending on the quality of the product and the environment in which they are in. Location of the roofing in the sun, or under the shade significantly impacts your roofs lifespan as well. Direct sunlight, water, wind, poor ventilation all factor into a roof’s lifespan.


    Here are some following signs that your roof may need a inspection:

    • Curling Shingles

    • Loss of Granulation

    • Leaks on your ceilings

    • Cracked or discolored drywall

    • Decayed shingles

    • Missing shingles

    • Visible cracks

    • Wind Damage

    • Broken Tile or Shingles

    • Rusted or missing flashing

    If a residential roof is over 15 years old, we highly recommend a free roof inspection as sometime roof damage is not even visible – by catching damage early will save your thousands of dollars in the long run. For a free inspection call us.


  • Can you help with insurance claims?

    Absolutely. INTERCEPT ROOFING has been around in the industry for a long time and has connections with all the major insurance carriers in Nashville. We can help negotiate with them on your behalf if you request us.

  • What is the length of time for a full roof replacement?

    Under city ordinance, we can begin the tear-off process no earlier than 7 am and begin heavy machinery no earlier than 8 am. Typically, a re-roof of just one layer of shingles on a one-story house will only take just one day! Facing unexpected additional construction, large roof replacement projects, or several other scenarios, will take no more than just two full days for a full roof replacement including a thorough clean-up. All work is dependent upon weather conditions.

  • How soon will you start my roof? How long will it take?

    Typically, we’re able to begin your new roof within 5-7 working days. And in most cases, our crew will have your roof done the same day.

  • Do you take care of attic ventilation?

    Yes, INTERCEPT ROOFING also offers attic ventilation services. We provide complete services that will ensure great maintenance for your roof. You can call us anytime to come check out your attic and install a proper ventilation system.

  • Do you use nails or staples when installing a roof?

    INTERCEPT ROOFING uses both staples and nails, based on the type of roofing system and the foundations of the home.

  • How clean will your team install the roof?

    No one wants the roofing installers to leave all their mess behind. INTERCEPT ROOFING Nashville Roofing Contractor is highly professional in all aspects of roof installation, and our team will pick up after themselves to leave your home spotless after installing the roof.

  • Can a new roof lower my utility bills?

    Yes, if you get a properly designed roof for your home, which keeps your home cooler in winter, and warmer in summer it will lower your utility bills.

  • My roof leaks, do I need a complete roof?

    Usually no, unless you have had a hailstorm recently, there could be hundreds of places for the roof to leak. It’s best to call a professional roofing contractor to look at your roof. Usually, most leaks can be narrowed down to one spot or area, also while the roofer is up there, they can find other small problems that should be fixed so that the problem doesn’t hang around later.
