Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. What License Does a Roofer Need in TN?

    Any roofing job more than $25,000 requires a General Contractor License in the State of TN. In order to obtain a GC license a trade exam, as well as a business and law exam must be passed. Proof of financial stability and references must also be provided and approved. For jobs valued below $25,000 a Handyman or BC-21 Roofing License is sufficient. The Handyman and BC-21 License do not have a trade exam and the financial requirements are substantially lower.

  • 2. What Type of Insurance Should A Roofing Contractor Have?

    Roofing contractors should carry both General Liability and Workman’s Compensation Insurance in sufficient amounts. This protects the homeowner in case of an accident that occurs on their property. General Liability ensures that the homeowner is protected if anything on their property is damaged by the roofers during the installation of their roof. Workman’s Compensation ensures the homeowner will not be held accountable if a roofing laborer is injured on their property during the installation of their roof.

  • 3. What Does a Roof Warranty Cover?

    Roof Warranties will vary between roofing contractors and manufacturers. The most common type of roof warranty is the manufacturer warranty that only covers defective materials. Reputable roofing contractors will also provide a workmanship warranty which typically runs for 5 years. Master Elite Certified roofing contractors can also provide Silver Pledge and Golden Pledge warranties that provide a 10 year or 25 year workmanship warranty guaranteed by the manufacturer.

  • 4. Does Synthetic Slate Roofing Hold Up Against Harsh Weather As Well As Natural Slate?

    Synthetic slate roofing is very durable and holds up well against Mother Nature! It’s rated Class 4 for impact, which is the highest rating that can be achieved and can handle winds up to 110mph.

  • 5. Why Would A Homeowner Choose Synthetic Slate over Natural Slate?

    While this may be a personal choice for some. However, for others the structure and framing of the home will not allow for a heavy natural slate roof to be installed without major structural changes being made. Many newer built homes would not sustain the weight of a natural slate roof but can easily support a synthetic slate roofing system.

  • 6. How Long Will A Natural Slate Roof Last?

    More than a lifetime! The average life expectancy of a natural slate roof is 80-100 years. However, it is extremely common for a slate roof to exceed this life expectancy for many, many years!
