Roof Replacement Done Right — Most Homes in 1–2 Days
Licensed, insured, and local to Dayton, TN. We tear off to the deck, fix what's underneath, and build a roof that outlasts East Tennessee weather — with financing and insurance-claim help when you need it.
What a D Bolton roof replacement includes
A roof is a system, not a layer of shingles. Cheap replacements skip the parts you can't see from the driveway — and that's exactly where roofs fail early around here. Every full replacement we do includes:
- Complete tear-off to the deck — we don't roof over problems
- Decking inspection and replacement of any soft or rotted wood
- Modern synthetic underlayment — a big upgrade over old felt paper
- New flashing in every valley and around chimneys and penetrations
- New drip edge and ridge vent — proper ventilation makes shingles last years longer
- High wind-rated shingle installation — standard for wind-exposed homes, not an upsell
- Full cleanup with magnetic nail sweep before we leave
"Not only did he replace the shingles, but he took the roof all the way back to the wood… fixed some ventilation issues, put in a completely new ridge vent, new flashing in the valleys, and a completely new drip edge." — Shirley Alderman, Google review

Common Questions
Roof Replacement FAQs
What is the average price of a roof replacement?
In our East Tennessee service area, most asphalt shingle roof replacements run $8,000–$18,000 depending on home size, pitch, and material grade. Metal roofing runs higher up front but lasts decades longer. Your free D Bolton Roofing estimate gives you an exact, itemized number for your home.
How do I know if I need a replacement instead of a repair?
If your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread granule loss, curling or missing shingles across multiple areas, or has leaked in more than one spot, replacement is usually the smarter spend. If the damage is localized, we'll tell you a repair is enough — and several of our Google reviews are from people we talked out of a full replacement.
How long does a roof replacement take?
One to two days for most homes. We tear off to the deck, replace damaged decking, install new underlayment, flashing, drip edge, and ridge vent, then clean up completely — including a magnetic nail sweep of your yard and driveway.
Can I finance my roof replacement?
Yes — D Bolton Roofing offers financing and payment plans on roof replacements. Checking your options is fast, free, and doesn't obligate you to anything.
Will insurance pay for my new roof?
If the damage came from wind, hail, or a storm event, often yes. We document the damage, meet your insurance adjuster on site, and make sure the claim scope reflects what actually needs replacing.
