In the green, humid country around Remlap, Southern weather works on roofs all year. Severe summer storms and occasional hail give roofs in Remlap a regular beating, and inland tropical remnants add wind and rain. With most Remlap homes built around 1985, a typical roof in town is roughly 41 years old — prime territory for granule loss, leaks, and full replacement. Over the past 11 years, Blount County has recorded 28 hail events (up to 4.5-inch stones), 90 damaging-wind events and 16 tornadoes — exactly the kind of weather that shortens a roof's life and drives sudden repair and replacement calls.
In Remlap, local roofers most often handle gutter installation & repair, chimney & flashing repair, and roof ventilation — but the pro we connect you with can take on any roofing job your home needs.

Blount County has logged 28 hail events in the last 11 years, some with stones up to 4.5 inches. Hail bruises shingles, knocks loose the protective granules, and cracks aging shingles — damage that often doesn't leak right away but shortens roof life.
Many Remlap homes were built around 1985, so roofs here are commonly 41+ years old — near or past the 20–30 year lifespan of asphalt shingles, when curling, granule loss, and leaks set in.
Humidity and frequent rain around Remlap encourage moss and algae growth and trap moisture, which degrades shingles and decking over time.
