Roofing in Old Hickory, TN

Serving Old Hickory and Surrounding Areas

Old Hickory roofs face three big threats, and we see all of them in our inspections.

First, spring hail and severe thunderstorms. Hailstones the size of golf balls can crack asphalt shingles, and the impact knocks granules loose. That granule loss exposes the mat, and within a year the shingle starts to flake and erode. We check for soft spots and bruising after every storm, and we help you file the insurance claim if the damage is there.

Second, hot, humid summers. The UV rays oxidize the shingle surface, making it brittle. Humidity feeds algae, which spreads across the roof and holds moisture against the surface. Over time, that moisture wicks under the shingles and rots the decking. We install algae-resistant shingles and add ridge venting to keep the attic cool and dry.

Third, winter ice storms. When snow melts and refreezes at the eaves, it forms an ice dam. Water backs up behind that dam and seeps under the shingles, soaking the starter course and the first few field courses. We install ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, so even if a dam forms, the water can't get in.

If you see curling shingles, a sagging roofline, or water stains on your ceiling, call us. The longer you wait, the more the damage spreads. We'll get up there, tell you exactly what's happening, and give you a straight answer on what it will take to fix it.
