Hail country
Middle Tennessee sits in a part of the country that gets genuine hail, and Rutherford County catches it regularly in spring. The problem with hail is that the damage that matters is usually not the damage you can see from the driveway. A hailstone knocks the granules off a shingle and fractures the mat underneath. The shingle does not fall off and the roof does not leak — not yet. It just has ten years taken off its life, and it starts leaking well after the window to claim it has closed.
If a storm came through your neighbourhood, get the roof looked at while you still can. The inspection is free and if there is nothing wrong we will tell you that.
What is specific to Murfreesboro
- Rapid growth means a lot of same-age roofs. The subdivisions that went up through the 2000s are hitting replacement age together, the same way Franklin's are.
- Storm chasers. After a hail event, out-of-state crews work these neighbourhoods door to door. Some are fine. Many sign contracts, subcontract the work to whoever is available, and are unreachable when the workmanship warranty matters. Ask for a Tennessee licence number.
- Open exposure. Less tree cover than Brentwood or Green Hills means more direct sun on the roof and more wind across it. Both age shingles faster.
- Rental and investment property. There is a lot of it around MTSU, and we are happy to work with owners who are not local and need documentation rather than a conversation on the driveway.

Common questions
A company knocked on my door after the storm. Should I sign?
Not on the spot. Ask for their Tennessee contractor licence number, check they have a local address, and get a second inspection. Legitimate contractors will not pressure you to sign that day.
How do I know if I have hail damage?
Often you cannot tell from the ground. Dented gutters, downspouts, or metal vents are a strong hint that hail fell hard enough to matter. A free inspection will confirm it either way.
Do you work with out-of-state property owners?
Yes. We document everything with photographs and written reports, which is usually what an owner managing from a distance needs.
