Not Every Roof Needs Replacing
Plenty of roof trouble is local: a cracked pipe boot, a strip of loose flashing or a handful of shingles torn off by wind can often be fixed on its own. Repair fits best when the roof is fairly young and the damage sits in one spot. When problems show up on several slopes, or one area keeps needing patches, replacement moves onto the table.
Wind sends many homeowners in Franklin, Williamson County, Tennessee, looking for a repair. On April 13, 2022, a National Weather Service report noted high winds blowing part of a roof off a business on Mallory Lane in Franklin. On October 12 that year, a downburst with 70 mph winds ran about 30 miles from Bon Aqua through Fairview, Franklin and Brentwood, the National Weather Service in Nashville found. Gusts like that can loosen shingles and flashing out of sight.
What This Covers
- Lifted or missing shingles. Wind-torn tabs replaced and sealed down.
- Active leaks. Tracing a ceiling stain back to where the water actually gets in.
- Flashing. Resealing or replacing the metal at chimneys, walls, skylights and valleys.
- Pipe boots and vents. Swapping cracked rubber boots and damaged vent covers.
- Limb strikes. Patching the deck and shingles where a fallen branch punched through.

Inspection, Estimate, Install
- Tell us what you see. Call or use the form; we pass it to one independent local roofer.
- On-roof inspection. The roofer checks the damage and the nearby slopes.
- A written answer. An itemized repair price, or a note on why replacement may be the better buy.
- Permit check. Franklin's rules cover most repair work without naming roofs, so ask the roofer and confirm with Building and Neighborhood Services at 615-794-7012. In unincorporated Williamson County, the county's August 1, 2025 notice drops the permit for home roof repairs, though code still applies. Any permit is the roofer's job.
- The repair. Done to the written scope, with the labor warranty in writing.
In Franklin's seven local historic districts, a like-for-like repair needs no Certificate of Appropriateness. Switching to a different material does, so call the City first.
What Sets This Apart
We connect you with one roofer. We don't repair roofs, quote prices or sign contracts, and you never pay for the referral.
If wind or hail caused the damage, the roofer can record it in photos and measurements you can pass along to your insurer. Filing and settling the claim stays between you and your insurance company.
- An offer to cover or waive your deductible. You pay your own deductible, so treat this as a warning sign.
- A big deposit. Tennessee's Attorney General advises against handing over more than a third of the price before work starts.
- Pressure to sign over the insurance check. Keep the full payment in your own hands until the job is done.
Frequently Asked
How do I know whether to repair or replace?
Start with the roof's age, the material and how far the damage spreads. The five-question repair-or-replace quiz gives you a starting point. An inspection settles it, since problems like soft decking only show up from the roof or attic.
Should I have my roof checked after a strong wind storm?
It's worth a look if you find shingle pieces in the yard, a new ceiling stain or loose flashing. The October 2022 downburst showed how hard straight-line wind can hit Franklin. Stay off the roof and let a roofer check it.
Does a small repair job need a state license?
Not unless the roofing portion of the job reaches $25,000 or more. At that level Tennessee calls for a contractor license, searchable at verify.tn.gov. For smaller fixes, ask for proof of insurance, a written warranty, a local address and references.
Can the roofer deal with my insurance company for me?
No. A roofer can document the damage, but the claim is yours to file and settle with your insurer. Under Tennessee law a roofer may not play public adjuster unless it holds that license, and this referral service stays out of claims entirely.
