What is wrong with my roof, and do I need a new one?
Most people call us because of one of these 4 things. A Cedar & Slate inspection tells you which one you have and what it costs to fix, with photos of your own roof.
- 01
There is a brown stain on the ceiling
Water is getting in somewhere above it. The leak is often a few feet away from the stain, around a vent pipe, a chimney or a valley. We trace it to the source.
- 02
A storm came through and shingles are in the yard
Wind lifts and tears shingles, and hail bruises them in ways you cannot see from the ground. We check it for free and photograph what we find.
- 03
The roof is 20 years old and looks tired
Curling edges, bald patches and gritty granules in the gutters mean the shingles are wearing out. We tell you honestly if you have years left or months.
- 04
You are buying or selling a house
An inspector flagged the roof and you need a clear answer and a real price fast. We send a written report you can hand to the other side.
What we do
What roofing work does Cedar & Slate do in Chattanooga?
Roof replacement is most of what we do. We also fix leaks, help after storms, install metal roofs and hang gutters. Prices below are starting prices for Chattanooga homes in 2026.
Roof replacement
Full tear off down to the wood, new underlayment, flashing, ridge vent and architectural shingles. Done by our own crew.
Roof repair and leak tracing
We find where the water is really getting in, which is often not where the stain is, and fix that spot properly.
Storm and hail damage
Free storm inspections with photos and a written report. We can meet your insurance adjuster at the house.
Metal roofing
Standing seam metal roofs for homes and porches. Standing seam means the panels lock together on raised seams with no exposed screws.
Gutters and gutter guards
Seamless aluminum gutters made on site to fit your house, plus guards that keep leaves and pine needles out.
Free roof inspection
A full check of your roof and attic with photos you keep. Useful before you buy or sell a home, or after a big storm.

Reviews
What do Chattanooga homeowners say about Cedar & Slate?
Our old roof was leaking over the kitchen. Dale came out the next morning, showed us photos of the problem and gave us a written price that day. The crew finished in 2 days and picked up every nail.
After the April hailstorm we had no idea where to start. Marisa walked us through the insurance claim and met the adjuster at our house. Calm, clear and on time.
They told us we only needed a $600 repair, even though we asked about a new roof. That is why we called them first 3 years later when it was time to replace it.

Questions
Common roofing questions from Chattanooga homeowners
Still not sure? Call or text (423) 555-0147 and Dale or Marisa will answer it straight.
How much does a new roof cost in Chattanooga?
Most architectural shingle roofs on Chattanooga homes cost between $11,500 and $18,500 with Cedar & Slate Roofing, and the smallest start at $9,500. The price depends on the size and steepness of the roof, how many old layers come off and how much wood needs replacing. Your free inspection comes with a written price.
Is a roof inspection from Cedar & Slate really free?
Yes. A roof inspection from Cedar & Slate Roofing costs nothing and you are under no obligation. We check the shingles, flashing, vents, gutters and the attic where we can reach it, and we send you the photos.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most roof replacements on Chattanooga homes take 1 to 2 days. Larger or steeper roofs can take 3. Rain can push the start date, and we call you the day before if the weather changes the plan.
Do you help with hail and storm insurance claims?
Yes. We photograph the damage, write a report your insurance company can use and can meet your adjuster at the house. An adjuster is the person your insurer sends to look at the damage. Your insurance company decides what is covered.
Should I repair my roof or replace it?
If your roof is under about 15 years old and the damage is in one spot, a repair usually makes sense. If shingles are curling, granules are washing into the gutters or it leaks in more than one place, a new roof is often the better spend. We tell you which, with photos.
What warranty comes with a new roof?
Every Cedar & Slate roof replacement comes with our 10-year written workmanship warranty, which covers how the roof was installed. The shingle maker adds its own limited warranty on the shingles themselves.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Cedar & Slate Roofing holds a Tennessee contractor license and carries general liability and workers compensation insurance. We email you the certificates before any work starts.
