Roofing in Franklin, TN

What roof-repair Includes

A repair visit starts with a roof inspection — deck-level, not driveway-level. We check shingle, flashing, and ventilation before quoting.

• Inspection: attic-side check for water stains, daylight, and soft sheathing; exterior check of valleys, pipe boots, step flashing, and drip edge.
• Diagnosis: distinguish wind damage, hail damage, and age-related failure — they route to different fixes.
• Materials: match existing asphalt shingle by profile and color, reseal with roof cement or polyurethane sealant, replace torn underlayment.
• Process: pry bar and roofing shovel to lift courses, new felt or ice-and-water shield, renail, reset ridge cap.
• Cleanup: magnet sweep for nails, debris hauled off, no dumpster left behind.

We tarp active leaks first if rain is coming. Temporary mitigation now prevents interior damage later.

Quality & Materials Standards

Material choice should match the roof, not a sales sheet. Steep historic roofs may call for wood shake or slate repair. Suburban homes usually take architectural shingle or three-tab shingle matched to the original. Low-slope sections need membrane — TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen — never shingle.

Tennessee building code governs decking, fasteners, and ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys. We follow it. Proper ventilation through ridge vent and soffit vent matters as much as the surface — trapped heat cooks shingle from below.

For storm damage, we document the scope of work with photos and measurements. Your insurance claim goes to an adjuster; we provide the estimate and supplement as needed. Deductible, depreciation, and replacement cost are your policy's terms — we help you read them, not spin them. Honest claim documentation protects you.
