Roof Replacement for Brentwood Homes
Brentwood is a Williamson County, Tennessee city of roughly 45,300 people, and the Census Bureau counts 90.4% of its homes as owner-occupied. The median owner home value is $1,031,300, the highest of any town this site covers. That usually means a big roof with many slopes and valleys.
Bigger roofs leave more room for vague charges in a quote. Our part is narrow: we hand your details to one roofer who works this area and step out. Price, schedule and contract stay between you and that roofer.
Big Houses, Old Landmarks, Many Slopes
The city describes its land as 90% residential, 5% commercial and 5% service institutional, so almost every roof job inside its limits is on a house. Brentwood was incorporated on April 15, 1969, with 3,378 residents. Today its 14,855 households average 3.06 people each.
Some buildings are far older than the city charter. Brentwood lists Ravenswood Mansion (1825), Boiling Spring Academy (1830) and Cool Springs House (1830) among its historic properties, along with Tower Park and the historic WSM broadcast tower.
Roofing Help Available in Brentwood
- Full replacement. Ask for tear-off, decking, underlayment and ventilation as separate lines.
- Storm and hail damage. Bruised shingles and dented vents on a steep Brentwood roof are hard to spot from the driveway. A roofer can check up close.
- Metal roofs. Standing-seam steel runs about twice the Tennessee per-foot price of asphalt. Ask for both numbers before deciding.
- Shingle roofs. Architectural and impact-resistant shingles cover most houses here. Neither Class 4 nor FORTIFIED is required, but your agent can say whether either would trim your premium.
- Repairs. A younger roof missing a patch of shingles may only need fixing.
Each service has its own page: full roof replacement, storm and hail damage, metal roofs, shingle roofs and roof repair.
Brentwood Storms on the Record
The National Weather Service in Nashville has logged several storms that reached Brentwood. On June 19, 2019, hail up to half-dollar size fell in the city, and trees and power lines came down. On April 13, 2022, a 55 mph peak gust snapped three power poles on Franklin Road near Otter Creek Church and drew a public report of shingles blown off.
On October 12, 2022, a 70 mph downburst ran about 30 miles across the county through Fairview, Franklin and Brentwood. On May 26, 2024, the weather service recorded 1.00-inch hail 2 miles south-southwest of Brentwood. Most came in spring or early summer, and none of them proves your roof was hurt.
Who to Call About a Brentwood Permit
Inside city limits, the office is the City of Brentwood Planning and Codes Department at 5211 Maryland Way, (615) 371-0060, open weekdays from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. Brentwood builds to the 2018 International Residential Code and takes permit applications online. Its posted pages are silent on re-roofs, so call the codes office before work starts. Your roofer handles any permit the job needs.
Brentwood also keeps contractor paperwork. Contractors working in the city file a Tennessee contractor or home improvement license, a certificate of insurance and a Brentwood business tax license with the city. That is a city filing rule, not a statement about any roofer, so ask whether yours is on file. Unincorporated Brentwood addresses fall under Williamson County, whose August 1, 2025 notice dropped permits for residential re-roofs; questions go to (615) 790-5718.
Pricing a Roof This Size
We don't set prices, and no source publishes a figure for Brentwood alone. Treat the Tennessee numbers below as a floor to think from. Large homes mean large roofs, so many Brentwood totals land well above the state average.
| Cost row | Figure | Source (year) |
|---|---|---|
| Tennessee re-roof, average | about $8,518 (range $6,703–$20,071) | This Old House, 2026 |
| Tennessee asphalt shingles, per sq ft | about $4.89 | This Old House, 2026 |
| Tennessee architectural shingles, per sq ft | about $5.05 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
| Tennessee impact-resistant shingles, per sq ft | about $6.25 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
| Tennessee standing-seam steel, per sq ft | about $10.45 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
Size and pitch move the total most. Once the roofing part of a job reaches $25,000, Tennessee requires a state contractor license, and plenty of Brentwood jobs cross that line; look any roofer up at verify.tn.gov.
Closer Than You Think
Brentwood sits about 9 miles north-northeast of Franklin, the city this site is named for The city calls itself known for its "pristine hills, lush forests, and beautiful parks and greenways," and those wooded hills drop branches onto roofs whenever the wind picks up.
The referral is free and binds you to nothing. Before you sign with anyone, collect proof of insurance, a written warranty from both the shingle maker and the installer, a line-by-line contract, a local address and references. The Tennessee Attorney General advises putting down no more than one-third up front. And since the deductible is yours to pay, an offer to absorb it is a red flag.

Good to Know in Brentwood
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Brentwood?
The city's codes pages don't answer that directly, so we won't guess. Call Planning and Codes at (615) 371-0060 before work begins, or let your roofer make the call. Outside city limits, Williamson County stopped requiring permits for residential re-roofs on August 1, 2025.
Did the May 2024 hail actually reach Brentwood?
Yes. On May 26, 2024, the National Weather Service in Nashville logged 1.00-inch hail 2 miles south-southwest of Brentwood. Hail bruising is often invisible from the ground, so a roofer on a ladder will tell you more than a glance from the yard.
What does the city's contractor filing rule mean for me?
Brentwood asks contractors working in the city to file a state contractor or home improvement license, proof of insurance and a local business tax license. It gives you a fair question to put to any roofer you meet: is your paperwork on file with the city?
Will you deal with my insurance company?
No. This site never handles, negotiates or gives advice on insurance claims of any kind. A roofer can photograph hail marks and measure what needs replacing, but filing, adjusting and settling the claim remain a matter between you and your insurance company.
