Roofing Contractor in Emerson, GA

No. The vast majority of our Franklin clients are at work or out of the house during install. We coordinate access ahead of time, protect landscaping with tarps, and complete a magnetic nail sweep before we leave.

On a typical Franklin home — say a 2,500–3,000 sq ft roof in Fieldstone Farms or McKay’s Mill — the on-site inspection takes 30–45 minutes. Larger or steeper roofs in Westhaven, Laurelbrook, or 37069 may take up to an hour. The written report follows within 24 hours.

Two reasons. First, Master Elite contractors install to the manufacturer’s strictest specification, which gives you access to GAF’s System Plus, Silver Pledge, or Golden Pledge® warranties. Second, only a Master Elite installer can register a Golden Pledge® — the strongest manufacturer warranty in residential roofing, and a credential adjusters and homeowners both recognize.

That depends on the extent of damage and your policy. In Tennessee, when hail damage exceeds a certain threshold per slope, most carriers approve a full replacement rather than spot repairs. Spot repairs are difficult anyway because shingle colors weather over time and fresh shingles never blend perfectly. We’ll document what’s there — the carrier decides what they’ll cover.

Hail damage is sudden, datable, and impact-shaped — circular granule loss, fresh splatter marks, soft bruising. Normal wear is gradual, edge-driven, and uniform — cupping, curling, and granule loss across the whole field. We document both honestly. If your roof is just old, we’ll tell you that, and you’re looking at a retail purchase, not a claim.
