Roofing Contractor in Franklin, 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.

Insurance covers replacement when there is sudden, accidental damage — hail, wind, falling tree limbs, tornado debris. Insurance does not cover normal wear or aging. If you suspect storm damage from any of the recent Williamson County events, we’ll do a free inspection and tell you honestly whether you have a claim or you’re looking at a retail purchase.

For most Franklin homes, GAF Timberline HDZ® delivers the best balance of warranty, wind rating, algae protection, and price. Custom homes in Westhaven and Laurelbrook frequently upgrade to Timberline UHDZ™ for the heavier profile, and a small number of homeowners step up to Designer lines for slate or wood-shake aesthetics.

A standard single-family home in places like Berry Farms, McKay’s Mill, or Fieldstone Farms is typically completed in one day. Larger custom builds in Westhaven or Laurelbrook — with steeper pitches, multiple valleys, or detached structures — may take two days. We schedule weather permitting and protect landscaping with tarps and magnetic nail sweeps.

It depends on the age and type of your shingle, but the rule of thumb is that anything dime-sized (3/4”) or larger can cause damage to an aging asphalt shingle, and quarter-sized (1”) or larger can damage even relatively new ones. Tennessee storms regularly produce both.
