What Goes Into a Shingle Roof
A new shingle roof is a stack of parts, not just the top layer you see from the street. A full job usually means stripping the old shingles, checking the wood deck for soft spots, laying fresh underlayment, then setting flashing, vents and ridge caps before the new shingles go on.
Shingle jobs in Franklin, a city in Williamson County, Tennessee, vary a lot. Homes in the seven local historic districts date from the 1800s and early 1900s, while newer subdivisions hold big houses on wide footprints. With a median owner home value of $705,400 (Census QuickFacts), many Franklin roofs are larger than the state's typical job. Since January 1, 2026, the City of Franklin has worked from the 2024 International Residential Code.
What This Covers
- Tear-off and deck check. The old shingles come off so the roofer can spot rotted decking before anything new goes down.
- Architectural shingles. The thicker, dimensional shingle most homeowners compare first.
- Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. A tougher shingle made to handle hail better than a standard one. An upgrade you can choose, never a requirement.
- FORTIFIED roof options. A stronger-roof standard some homeowners pick when they replace. Like Class 4, it is optional.
- Vents, boots and flashing. Renewed at chimneys, walls and pipes so water has no easy way in.
How Shingle Roof Replacement Is Priced
Shingle work is usually priced per square foot of roof surface. These are published Tennessee figures, not prices from this site, and Franklin's bigger roofs often land above the state average.

Inspection, Estimate, Install
- Send your request. Call or use the form, and we pass it to one independent local roofer.
- Roof inspection. The roofer checks shingles, flashing and decking, and measures each slope.
- Written estimate. An itemized price naming the shingle line, underlayment, disposal and warranty terms.
- Permit question. Within city limits, the roofer can tell you if a permit applies to your job; double-check with the City's Building and Neighborhood Services office at 615-794-7012. In unincorporated Williamson County, a county notice from August 1, 2025 drops the permit and inspection for residential re-roofs, yet code still applies. Pulling any permit is the roofer's job.
- Installation. The roofer's team does the work, and you keep the warranties in writing.
In Hincheyville, Downtown Franklin or another local historic district, a switch to a new roof material must first win a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Zoning Commission, and the design guidelines favor materials that match the historic ones. Call the City before you sign.
What Sets This Apart
You hear from one roofer, not a crowd of callers. We don't do roofing work, set prices or sign contracts. The roofer may pay us for the referral; you pay us nothing.
Before you commit, collect these from the roofer: an insurance certificate, the manufacturer and labor warranties on paper, a line-by-line contract, a local address and references. A job whose roofing portion hits $25,000 or more calls for a Tennessee contractor license; look it up at verify.tn.gov. The Tennessee Attorney General also warns against paying more than one-third up front.
Frequently Asked
Are Class 4 shingles required in Franklin?
No. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are an option for a Franklin home, not a requirement, and the same goes for a FORTIFIED roof. If hail worries you, ask the roofer to price both choices on one estimate so you can weigh the difference.
Will my insurance company lower my premium for a stronger roof?
It might. Some insurers give savings for Class 4 shingles or a FORTIFIED roof, and others don't, so the answer lives in your own policy. Call your agent before you choose and ask what paperwork they would need to see.
Does a shingle job need a state license in Tennessee?
Only if the roofing share of the price comes to $25,000 or higher. In that case, search the roofer's name at verify.tn.gov. Williamson County is not one of the nine counties with a separate home improvement license. On smaller jobs, lean on insurance proof, references and written warranties.
What does the referral cost me?
Nothing. Roofers may pay us for referrals, and homeowners never do. We give no prices of our own and sign no contracts. The inspection, the written estimate and any agreement all come straight from the independent roofer you are connected with.
