A great day for a roof replacement.

This roof was originally installed in 2018 and is already experiencing failure due to an improper nailing pattern. As a result, shingles have been unable to withstand normal wind conditions and have continued to detach over time.

Our team is removing the existing roofing system and installing a complete Owens Corning system. This includes enhanced ice and water protection at eaves, valleys, penetrations, and flashings, along with synthetic underlayment and an improved ventilation system to ensure long-term performance.

We also want to emphasize an important point for homeowners: in many cases, roofing companies subcontract their work. These crews are often paid per job, which can lead to rushed installations and critical shortcuts—like improper nailing—that compromise the integrity of the roof. Unfortunately, issues caused by poor workmanship are typically not covered by insurance.

If you’re looking for a reliable, local team that prioritizes quality and accountability, we’re here to help. We take pride in doing the job right the first time.

PSA PEORIA / TAZEWELL / FULTON / STARK Storms rolled in so are the chasers!!

But here’s the truth nobody wants to say:
Contractors milking insurance claims are a BIG reason your premiums keep going up in your zip code.

As a local company we use a in house crew of local employees , we don’t sub contract to unlicensed sub contractors like everyone else

Here are some of the red flags that show up every time:

🚩 No upfront PRICE
🚩 “We’ll deal with your insurance”
🚩 “Free upgrades” (nothing is free)
🚩 “In-house adjusters” or “insurance specialists”

That’s not professionalism — that’s a sales tactic.

These companies LIVE off insurance jobs because they can’t survive in the real world where homeowners expect a clear price and honest work. They can’t compete retail, so they chase storms and bounce town to town.

And let’s be honest…
A lot of them aren’t even doing real inspections.

If they didn’t:
• Get in your attic
• Check ventilation
• Look at the decking and structure

Then they didn’t inspect your roof — they glanced at it.

We don’t play those games.

We give real numbers.
We do real inspections.
We build roofs that actually last.

If a contractor won’t put a price on paper and stand behind it, it’s not because they “can’t yet” — it’s because they don’t want to.

Hole in the roof from a fallen tree.

Some contractors immediately jump to “you need a whole new roof” or “let’s file an insurance claim.”

Sometimes a skilled repair is all that’s needed.

At Carmichael Exteriors, our local crew takes pride in the kind of roofing work that actually fixes the problem — not just the easy sale.

The wind speed reported on the news isn’t what your roof actually experiences.

When winds are reported at 70–80 mph, the shape of your roof can accelerate that wind to 120+ mph at the ridges and even 150+ mph stress at the edges and corners. That’s why shingles often fail along the edges, ridges, and valleys first.

Common signs of wind damage:

• Shingles on the ground around your home
• Crooked or lifted shingles
• Missing shingles
• Loose ridge caps
• Pieces of shingle granules in gutters

Many times this damage isn’t easy to see from the ground, and small issues can turn into leaks later.

Carmichael Exteriors offers free roof inspections to check for wind damage and maintenance issues before they become costly problems.

✔ Licensed & insured
✔ Local Employees
✔ Honest pricing

If your home went through recent high winds, it’s worth taking a look.
