Thompson Station & Spring Hill Wind & Hail Damage

March 31, 2021 by GLSA Mobley

This past weekend was devastating for the southern part of Williamson county. Some areas received more than seven inches of precipitation! Although the vast majority was rain, Spring Hill and Thompson Station got hail as well. That hail was large enough to cause hail damage to roofing an siding. If you saw hail falling at your home, call Mobley Brothers Roofing and Renovation for a roofing inspection to see if you have a storm damage insurance claim.

Signs of Hail Damage

Hail damage is hard to spot with the naked eye from ground level. However, if you look at your roof and see small indents, you have hail damage. Think of what a ball-peen hammer does to a piece of wood, that’s what hail does to a shingle. If, after the next rainstorm you see a lot more granules in your downspout and gutters than normal, you might have hail damage. Mobley Brother’s roofing team can come out and perform a thorough inspection for hail damage. Of course, we’ll also look for signs of wind damage, which is often much easier to spot.

What Wind Damage Looks Like

Between the straight-line winds and the gusts over 50mph, there is a lot of wind damage throughout the area. Some wind damage is easy to spot, while other time, it takes the knowledge of an experienced roofer. Here are a few to look for on your roof:

Missing shingles
Shingles that don’t lay flat
Newly bent edges of your shingles
Shingles that look out of alignment with the rest of the roof

Of course, if you had water coming into your home, you have some sort of roof damage. It may be storm damage and make you eligible for a storm damage insurance claim or it may be an existing roof leak. Either way the roofing team at Mobley Brothers is standing by ready to help.

Understanding Ice Dams

February 20, 2021 by GLSA Mobley

If you’ve searched roofers near me because you have an ice dam, don’t call just any of the search results that you find. As a GAF Master Elite Certified roofing company in Nashville, TN with another office in Knoxville, we understand ice damming. It’s rarely seen in this area. That’s why so many of the local roofers don’t know the cause or how to prevent them in the future.

Why We’re Seeing Ice Dams

The sleet that blanketed most of the area may have run down into your gutters. It didn’t necessarily go down the downspouts. After several inches of sleet, some business and homeowners had snow or freezing rain. Then we had brief periods where the temperature, combined with the sun, lead to some melting. On top of that, we then had more sleet, freezing rain and snow. This, along with the heat constantly running in our homes lead to the perfect situation to create ice dams.

Signs of an Ice Dam

Many visuals of ice dams show long icicles and snow and ice built up high on the roof along the gutter. However, it only takes a small amount of ice in the gutter to back up and cause a roof leak. Gutters full and snow, sleet and ice combined with water inside your home, is often a sign of roof damage, likely from an ice dam. Water leaking around your windows or under your floorboards and wet carpets are all signs of a roof leak. Water follows the path of least resistance so it can show up anywhere.

Will My Insurance Cover My Repair?

That depends. In our experience as a roofing company in Nashville, some policies won’t cover the roof repair or gutter repair, but will cover the water damage inside the home. Other policies look at the issues as stemming from mother nature and therefor covers the entire claim. You can be assured that Mobley Brothers Roofing & Renovation accepts all insurance claims and will provide you adjustor with whatever information they need.

Call Us Today

Although we can’t make a repair as long as there is ice and snow, we can get you on our schedule. When you’re searching for “roofers near me” call the roofing company in Nashville with ice damming experience, Mobley Brothers Roofing at (615) 645-4500. We’re A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

Why Choose A Certified Roofing Contractor for Your New Roof?

February 15, 2021 by GLSA Mobley

There are many Tennessee roofing companies, but you will find that their experience is not the same. Most follow the law and have proper licensing and insurance. However, you should want the installers of your new roof to be actual certified roofing contractors. Companies who choose to go beyond the minimum training and achieve a certified status with the manufacturers do a better job because they know what the manufacturer recommends.

Training & Experience

You could go to your local home improvement store and buy shingles and install them. However, you won’t be eligible for anything beyond the manufacturer’s most basic warranty. If you make an error in your do it yourself project, you can easily void your warranty. When you choose certified roofing contractors, you’re choosing a company who has gone beyond the minimum state standards and invested in their team and company’s future. The additional training takes time and costs money. However, the return on investment for most roofing companies comes in the fact that they’re more highly recommended as their roofing has few, if any, installation problems.

You Still Benefit When You Choose Another Brand or Roofing Material

Let’s say you choose to work with a GAF certified roofing contractor, but want a different brand of shingles. You still benefit from the additional training and knowledge the roofing company has gained from the certification from one manufacturer. Plus, chances are good that they’ve also completed additional training from all the manufacturers whose products they install because they care about their reputation and their customer’s satisfaction.

Differences in Knoxville Roofing Companies

February 2, 2021 by GLSA Mobley

Knoxville roofing companies aren’t all the same. Yes, many of us perform the same type of work, but we don’t all do it the same way. In fact, few roofing companies in Knoxville, TN have the training, experience and level of customer service that we do. When you’re looking for a roofing contractor, here are some things you should look for.

Training

Installing shingles may look fairly straightforward but there are differences in proper installation based on brand and type of shingle. Not all Knoxville roofing companies sell and install the same brands. If you have a particular brand in mind, make sure the roofing company you’re considering has training in the installation of that particular roofing system. It will make a difference in the roof’s installation and your eligibility for the manufacturer’s warranty. We weren’t just given our Master Elite™ status by GAF, we earned it through training and customer service.

Experience

You wouldn’t hire an inexperienced mechanic to work on your car, why would your roof be any different? As you look at different Knoxville roofing companies, make sure they’re not only experienced in roofing, but also your roofing material. Back to the car analogy, if your car has a diesel engine, you want a diesel mechanic. We have more than a decade as one of the leading roofing companies in Knoxville working with many roofing materials.

Customer Centered

You don’t last in the roofing industry if you don’t take excellent care of your customers. You want a Knoxville roofing contractor who is trusted because of the quality of work they do and how they stand behind that work. Look at our reviews and you’ll find countless home and business owners compliment us and give us a five-star rating. Plus, we’re A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.
