Roofing Contractor in Brentwood, TN

Many do. Westhaven, Cool Springs East, Polk Place, and several other Franklin communities require an Architectural Review Committee submission before installation. Homes in the Hincheyville historic district may also require Historic Zoning Commission approval. Northpoint helps homeowners prepare and submit these applications as part of the proposal process so nothing slows your project down.

Most Tennessee homeowners insurance policies give you one year from the date of loss, but some policies require notice of damage “as soon as reasonably possible.” Don’t wait. The longer the gap between the storm and the inspection, the harder it is to prove the damage came from that specific event.

If a hailstorm or high-wind event passed over your home and you see granules in your gutters, dents in your HVAC fins or vent caps, or lifted shingles along the ridge — you likely have damage worth documenting. Most damage isn’t visible from the ground. A free Northpoint inspection takes 30–45 minutes and gives you a written, photo-documented answer either way.

Two ways to think about it. First, the 2024 Cost vs. Value Report shows roughly 65% of the project cost is returned at resale. Second — and more important in a Franklin market where buyers run inspections — a recent roof eliminates one of the top three negotiating points buyers use to push down a sale price. Most of our Franklin clients see the practical resale impact closer to 80–90% of project cost.

A contingency agreement is a contract that says: we will replace your roof, but only if your insurance carrier approves the claim. If they deny it, the agreement is void and you owe nothing. It protects you in three ways. It commits us to advocating hard for the claim because we have skin in the game. It locks in your scope and pricing so a low initial offer from the carrier doesn’t become your final number. And it means you don’t have to make the replace-or-not decision until after the claim is settled.
