Kingston is about 30 miles west of our Knoxville office along Interstate 40, and it is a town our crews have come to know well. Our techs are in Kingston, TN often. A good share of those were storm calls: wind damaged shingles, a tree on a roof, flashing that let go. The rest were the everyday leaks and aging roofs every town has. Mobley Brothers Roofing & Renovation handles all of it from the Knoxville office, which Mike Mobley runs.

Kingston is also our base for the rest of Roane County. Our crews also work in Harriman, including commercial and metal roof repairs, and in Rockwood.

## Storm damage in Kingston: what we have seen

Our Kingston job notes tell the story better than a sales line could. Dolph went up looking for wind damaged shingles on one roof and replaced storm damaged shingles on another. Juvenal replaced storm damaged shingles more recently. David D. replaced damaged shingles and roof vents on a damaged roof, and Don repaired a shingle roof after a tree fell on it.

That is typical of what East Tennessee storms do. Wind lifts and tears shingles along edges and ridges, and falling limbs can break through to the decking. Missing shingles are easy to spot from the yard; shingles that lifted and lost their seal are not, and they are often the ones that leak next. After a storm we look at the whole roof, not only the spot you noticed. Our storm damage roof repair page covers what we check.

Two customers of our Knoxville office described their storm repairs. David A. wrote: "Our shingles flew off in the recent wind storm and we had no idea how much moisture was really getting through until Mobley Brothers showed us the damage underneath." Dawn T. wrote: "After a tree falling on our house, Mobley Brothers made getting our roof and siding repaired quick and painless!"

## Insurance claims, backed by documentation

When storm damage is covered, a claim goes better with clear evidence. The company is a HAAG Certified Inspector for residential roofs, and we photograph damage so your adjuster sees what we saw. On older roofs where a match is in question, we can send samples of the old shingles out for a report on whether a matching shingle exists, which gives the insurance company something concrete to review. We do not promise claim outcomes, and no honest roofer can. We help you document the damage and explain it; our roof insurance claims page walks through the process.

We also do not chase storms. We do not go door to door after hail or wind; Kingston homeowners call us, and we go out. When out-of-town crews move on after a storm, we are still here, a phone call away in Hardin Valley.

## Leaks, skylights and flashing

Not every Kingston call is storm related. Don repaired two leaking skylights here, fixed flashing on a shingle roof, replaced flashing and damaged shingles to stop another leak, and gave an estimate for installing a ridge vent. Dolph repaired chimney flashing and a leaking roof vent. Toniel repaired a leak in a shingle roof. These are the repairs that keep a sound roof going for years, and they are exactly the jobs we want. David Mobley's rule holds at both offices: we'll repair when we can and replace when we should.

Skylights deserve a word of their own. A leak around a skylight is often a flashing problem, and that we can fix. If the skylight itself has failed, reflashing will not solve it, and your proposal will say so and state the cost of replacing it before any work starts.

## Replacing a roof in Kingston

When a roof is past repair, we replace it. Mike's name is on shingle roof replacements in Kingston, including the charcoal GAF shingle roof pictured above, and Don has quoted a metal roof replacement and repaired a metal roof here. As a GAF Master Elite residential contractor we install architectural shingles as a full system, never three-tab. Every replacement starts with a satellite measurement and an in-person look, and you get an electronic written proposal that spells out contingent costs, such as decking boards that turn out to be rotten, before the job begins.

## Kingston, Roane County and permits

Kingston is the county seat of Roane County, as the City of Kingston notes on its own site. Roane County's Building Codes Department, which has its office in Kingston, enforces the 2024 International Residential Code in its jurisdiction. If you are not sure whether your address falls to the city or the county for a roofing permit, we can help you find out at the estimate.

## Kingston roofing questions

### How far do your crews travel to reach Kingston?

Our Knoxville office is in Hardin Valley, and Kingston is about 30 miles west on Interstate 40. Kingston is one of the 20 communities that office serves, and our crews are there often.

### Should I call you or my insurance company first after a storm?

Either order works, but an early inspection helps. We can look at the roof, photograph the damage, and tell you whether it looks like storm damage before you file, so you know what you are reporting. Whether to file is always your decision.

### What if the storm is still going when I call?

Call anyway. Calls are answered day or night, but nobody should be on a wet roof in the dark or in high wind. If conditions are not safe, we will tell you and book the first safe window.

### Are you licensed and insured?

Yes: Tennessee contractor license 59116, fully licensed and insured, and BBB Accredited with an A+ rating. The business has been family owned and veteran owned since Mike and David Mobley started it in 2007.
