Where we do this work.
Roofing questions, answered plainly.
- How much does a new roof cost in Chattanooga?
- Architectural asphalt shingle roofs generally run $6–9 per square foot installed; standing-seam metal runs $12–18 per square foot. A typical 2,400 sq ft home lands between $14K and $22K for asphalt and $28K–$45K for standing-seam metal.
- How fast can you respond to a roof leak?
- We are usually on-site within 48 hours for leak diagnosis, and same-day for active emergencies. Storm patching happens before the estimate, not after.
- Do you work with insurance claims?
- Yes. We provide a free damage assessment, photo documentation, and coordinate directly with your adjuster on storm and hail claims.
- Metal or shingle — which is right for my house?
- Standing-seam metal carries 40+ year manufacturer warranties and sheds ice and debris well on ridge-line properties. Architectural asphalt costs less up front and suits most subdivision homes. We spec for the roof pitch, the exposure, and how long you plan to stay.
- How long does a re-roof take?
- Most residential tear-off and re-roof jobs are completed in 1–3 days. Metal roofing typically takes 3–6 days.
- What warranty comes with a Rivco roof?
- Manufacturer material warranties plus Rivco's two-year written workmanship warranty on every roof we install.
