Architectural asphalt shingle roof replacement from CertainTeed and GAF. Full tear-off, decking inspection, premium underlayment, and proper ventilation — done in 1–3 days by our own crews.
We've replaced thousands of roofs across Knox County since 1996. We climb up, do it right, clean up, and hand you a written warranty backed by both the manufacturer and our own lifetime workmanship guarantee.
We install asphalt shingle roofing systems from the two manufacturers we trust most — CertainTeed and GAF. Both come with strong warranties, deep color options, and a track record on East Tennessee homes going back decades.
The Knoxville standard. Dimensional layered profile, 30-year warranty, 130 mph wind rating. Best value for most homes.
CertainTeed Grand Manor, GAF Camelot, Glenwood. Slate and shake aesthetics, lifetime warranties, deeper shadow lines.
Class 4 hail-rated shingles. May qualify you for a homeowner's insurance discount in Knox County (ask your agent).
Free roof inspection after a storm. We document damage with photos and reports for your insurance adjuster.
Ridge vent, soffit vent, and gable vent systems. Proper attic ventilation extends shingle life and prevents winter ice dams.
Before you buy a home. After a storm. Before listing for sale. Written report with photos — no obligation, no upsell.
Some roofers install new shingles directly over the old (called "overlay") to save time and money. It's faster, cheaper, and adds weight to a roof structure that wasn't designed for it. We tear off down to the decking on every job, so we can spot rotten OSB, fix flashing issues, install proper synthetic underlayment, and start from a solid base. It's what keeps your manufacturer warranty valid and your roof watertight for 30 years.
Manufacturer warranties have specific installation requirements: nail placement, ventilation, flashing details, ice and water shield in valleys. Wrong install and your warranty is void. We install per the published specs. Always.
Most of the roofers on your project are our own employees, including foremen who have been with us for years. For larger jobs that need additional skilled trades, we bring in vetted partners we've worked with for a long time. What we don't do is hire day-labor or "we'll send a crew over" — the same level of care from project one to project 10,000.
Hail or wind damage? We climb up, document everything with photos, write a clear report, and work with your insurance adjuster. We don't work for the insurance company — we work for you. But we know exactly what adjusters need to approve a claim and we've done thousands.
Asphalt shingle roof replacement in Knoxville typically falls into these ranges (based on a 25-square / 2,500 sq ft roof):
Your actual cost depends on roof size (measured in "squares" of 100 sq ft each), pitch and complexity, decking condition, and shingle grade. We give you an itemized written quote good for 90 days.
Most roof replacements move fast because the install itself is quick. Here's the typical timeline from your first call to a finished roof.
We climb up, take photos of everything, check ventilation and flashing. Written report with our recommendations. Usually within a week.
Line-by-line pricing showing shingles, underlayment, flashing, ridge vent, removal, dump fees. Allowances for decking if needed.
Once approved, materials are ordered and a tentative install date set. Lead time is typically 2–4 weeks. Weather can shift the date.
Tear-off, decking inspection, underlayment, shingles, flashing, ridge vent, full magnetic cleanup of nails. Most homes in a single day.
Pricing is per "roofing square" — a roofing-industry unit equal to 100 square feet of roof surface. A typical 2,500 sq ft Knoxville home has roughly 25–35 squares of roof. Use this table to ballpark your project.
| Shingle Tier | What You Get | Installed Price (per sq) |
|---|---|---|
| 3-Tab Asphalt | Budget-friendly flat shingle profile. 20-25 year lifespan. Best for rental properties. | $300 – $450 |
| Architectural (30-yr) | Dimensional layered shingle. The Knoxville standard. Best balance of price and longevity. | $400 – $600 |
| Architectural (Lifetime) | Premium thicker shingle with lifetime warranty. 30-40 year typical lifespan. | $500 – $750 |
| Designer / Slate-Look | CertainTeed Grand Manor, GAF Camelot. Slate aesthetic at shingle prices. | $650 – $950 |
| Impact-Resistant Class 4 | Hail-rated. May qualify for insurance discount. | $600 – $900 |
| Decking Replacement | When rot or damage requires new OSB/plywood (per sheet). | $60 – $90/sheet |
Prices above are per roofing square (100 sq ft). A typical 25-square home with mid-grade architectural shingles totals $10,000–$15,000 fully installed. Steep, complex, or multi-story roofs add to the total. Free written quote includes complete line-item pricing.

Asphalt shingle roof replacement in Knoxville typically costs:
$8,000–$15,000 for a standard single-story home with 3-tab or basic architectural shingles.
$12,000–$22,000 for premium architectural shingles with a complete tear-off and decking inspection.
$18,000–$30,000+ for premium designer shingles, impact-resistant Class 4, or steep/complex roofs.
Price depends on roof size (measured in roofing "squares" of 100 sq ft each), pitch, complexity, and shingle grade. A typical 2,500 sq ft Knoxville home has roughly 25–35 squares of roof surface.
Most asphalt shingle roof replacements in Knoxville take 1–3 days. A typical 25-square (2,500 sq ft) home is completed in a single day by our crew. Complex or steep roofs may take 2–3 days.
We always plan for weather and reschedule if rain is in the forecast — we don't expose your roof decking to weather. If we tear off, we put the new roof on the same day.
The number refers to the manufacturer's prorated warranty period, not necessarily the actual shingle lifespan in your climate.
In Knoxville's climate:
30-year architectural shingles: Typically last 20–25 years before needing replacement.
50-year shingles: Premium architectural, typically last 30–40 years.
Lifetime-rated shingles: Warranted for as long as you own the home (prorated after the first 10 years). Typically last 40+ years.
Heat, UV exposure, and East Tennessee thunderstorms shorten real-world life compared to manufacturer ratings. We'll show you what your existing roof's wear pattern looks like during the inspection.
If your roof was damaged by hail, wind, or a covered storm event, homeowner's insurance often covers a full roof replacement minus your deductible.
We help homeowners document damage with photos, written reports, and direct communication with insurance adjusters. We don't work for the insurance company — we work for you — but we know what they need to approve a claim and we've done thousands.
If your roof is just old or worn out, insurance typically won't cover it (those are considered normal wear-and-tear). But a free inspection will tell you which category you're in.
We always inspect the decking during tear-off. If the existing OSB or plywood is solid, we install new underlayment over it. If any sections are rotted, soft, or damaged, we replace those sheets.
The cost of replacement decking is itemized in your quote — typically $60–$90 per 4×8 sheet installed. We don't surprise you with decking charges; if we find rot during tear-off, we'll show you and discuss it before adding to the project.
Yes — completely free, no obligation. Common reasons for a free inspection:
We climb up, take photos, check flashing and ventilation, and give you a written report. Sometimes our answer is "your roof is fine, see you in five years." We'd rather give honest answers than upsell.
We don't recommend it, and we typically won't do it.
Installing new shingles over old ("overlay") is faster and cheaper, but it adds significant weight to the roof structure, hides decking damage, voids most manufacturer warranties, and shortens the life of the new shingles by 25-30%.
The few extra hours and dollars for a proper tear-off pay off in 25+ years of trouble-free roof.
