Roofing Help Available in Thompson's Station
One request covers every kind of roof work here:
- Complete replacement. Large homes often carry cut-up roofs with valleys and dormers. A full roof replacement quote should list tear-off, underlayment and every piece of flashing.
- Wind and storm damage. Fallen limbs and gust-lifted shingles are the local pattern. See storm and hail damage for what to look for.
- Metal roofing. Standing-seam steel suits farmhouse styles and long ownership; weigh it on the metal roof replacement page.
- Shingle roofing. The shingle roof replacement page compares standard and impact-rated grades.
- Small fixes. One leak around a vent doesn't have to mean a new roof. Read about roof repair first.
The 2019 Wind That Crossed Town
For seven minutes on June 19, 2019, starting at 8:19 pm, a band of straight-line wind swept through Thompson's Station and the north end of Spring Hill. The National Weather Service in Nashville surveyed the damage and put the winds at 60 to 70 mph, with pockets as strong as 80 to 85 mph.
Trees snapped, poles fell, and lines came down at several spots in town. Some buildings, Summit High School among them, had minor roof and exterior damage. We found no official hail report naming Thompson's Station, so wind and falling trees are the roof risks to watch.
After a storm, a roofer can record your roof's condition with photos and measurements; any claim is yours and your insurer's to settle.

The village was White House, then Littlebury, before becoming Thompson's Station in 1856, after Dr. Elijah Thompson donated the land. Trains arrived in August 1855, and the depot rebuilt in 1996 now serves as Town Hall. On March 5, 1863, General Earl Van Dorn's Confederates defeated Union troops under Colonel John Coburn here. Whoever you hire, check these:
- Proof of coverage. Ask for an insurance certificate, and for roofing work of $25,000 or more, look up the state contractor license at verify.tn.gov.
- Paper trail. Insist on an itemized written contract and written warranties from the manufacturer and the roofer.
- Money up front. The Tennessee Attorney General suggests a deposit of a third or less. Hold on to any insurance check until the work is finished.
