Honest Roof Inspections for Murfreesboro Homeowners
Most homeowners don’t think about their roof until something goes wrong. By then, a small problem that would’ve cost a few hundred dollars to fix has had months, sometimes years, to get worse. A professional roof inspection in Murfreesboro gives you a clear read on where things actually stand, so you can make a decision on your timeline, not in a panic.
We inspect every roof the same way: we get up on it, we look at every surface, and we show you what we find. Photos, plain-language explanation, honest recommendation. If your roof is in good shape, we’ll tell you that. If it needs work, we’ll tell you what kind and what it’ll cost. No pressure either way.
Veteran-Owned And Operated
Roof Troops is a veteran-owned roofing company based in Murfreesboro. We handle full roof replacements on residential homes, and we do it with manufacturer-certified materials and a written quote before any work starts.
Storm damage is stressful enough. We document your roof, work with your adjuster, and handle the repair so you’re not navigating your insurer alone.
What a Roof Troops Inspection Covers
A thorough inspection isn’t a two-minute walkaround. We go through the whole system, top to bottom, because a roof that leaks usually has more than one thing going on.
Shingles And Surface Condition
We check for cracked, curling, missing, or granule-stripped shingles. Each of those signs tells a different story about where the roof is in its life.
Flashing at Every Transition Point
Flashing around chimneys, skylights, vents, and valleys is where most leaks start. We check every seam and report anything that's lifted, cracked, or improperly sealed.
Gutters And Drainage
Gutters that pull away from the fascia or hold standing water send it back against the roof edge. We check for damage, slope, and whether water is clearing the roofline the way it should.
Ridge And Hip Condition
The ridge line takes the most weather. Ridge cap shingles that are cracking or lifting are often the first sign a roof is aging out.
Soffits And Fascia
Rotting or damaged fascia behind the gutters usually means moisture has been sitting there longer than it should. We flag anything that points to a bigger water problem.
Attic Ventilation
Poor ventilation shortens shingle life from the inside out. If we can access the attic, we check for proper airflow and signs of moisture buildup or heat damage.
Photo Documentation of Everything We Find
You get photos of every issue we note, so you can see exactly what we're talking about and have a record for insurance purposes if it comes to that.
When to Call for a Roof Inspection
You don’t need to wait for a leak to get your roof looked at. These are the situations where an inspection is worth scheduling.
After a major storm: Hail, high winds, and falling debris can damage a roof without leaving obvious signs from the ground. Murfreesboro and Rutherford County get their share of severe storms. If you had one move through recently and haven’t had the roof checked, it’s worth doing before storm season stacks up.
You’re buying or selling a home: A pre-purchase inspection can surface problems before closing, giving you negotiating room or saving you from a surprise after you move in. Sellers use them for the same reason: know what’s there before a buyer’s inspector finds it.
Your roof is more than 15 years old: Most asphalt shingle roofs in Middle Tennessee last 20 to 25 years with no major weather events, less with repeated storm exposure. If yours is getting up there, an inspection tells you how much runway you have left.
You’re seeing interior water stains: A water stain on the ceiling doesn’t always mean the leak is directly above it. Moisture travels along rafters and roof decking before it drips. An inspection can trace it back to the source.
You notice granules in the gutters: Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age. A heavy amount collecting in the gutters is a reliable early sign the surface is breaking down.
You’re filing an insurance claim: Insurance adjusters work fast, and they don’t always catch everything. An independent inspection before or alongside the adjuster’s visit gives you documentation to back up your claim.

How the Inspection Works
Roofing materials for Murfreesboro homes
We install a full range of materials. Most residential replacements in the Murfreesboro area use asphalt shingles, and for good reason: they perform well in Middle Tennessee’s climate, they’re cost-effective, and the manufacturers we’re certified through make products that hold up.
What Affects the Cost of a Roof Inspection in Murfreesboro
Most standard residential roof inspections are straightforward. A few factors affect the time and detail involved.
Roof size and pitch: A larger roof takes longer to inspect. A steep-pitch roof requires more care and time to navigate safely.
Number of penetrations: Every chimney, skylight, vent stack, and pipe penetration is a potential leak point that needs to be checked individually. More penetrations mean more to examine.
Accessibility: Roofs with complex geometry, multiple levels, or difficult access points take more time than a simple gable.
Scope of the inspection: A standard visual inspection of the exterior is different from a full evaluation that includes attic access, ventilation assessment, and detailed moisture mapping.
Storm damage scope: Post-storm inspections after severe weather take longer because we’re documenting damage systematically for insurance purposes, not just doing a general condition check.
We don’t give price ranges in advertising because they’re wide enough to be useless. The only number that matters is the one on your written quote, and we provide that free.
We’re a licensed, veteran-owned roofing contractor based in Murfreesboro. We serve Rutherford, Davidson, and Williamson counties, and we’ve been doing this work the same way since day one: show up, do the job right, and tell the truth about what we find.
Don Hane, the founder, served two tours in the U.S. Navy including Desert Storm. The values that came with that, show up when you say you will, do the job right, don’t cut corners, never quit on a commitment, are the same ones this company runs on. You’ll see it from the first call.
A few things that matter for inspections specifically:
We photograph everything: You won’t get a verbal summary and a handshake. You get photos of every issue we note, labeled and explained. That documentation protects you whether you hire us or not.
We tell you if nothing is wrong: A lot of contractors won’t do that, because it doesn’t sell work. We will. If your roof is fine, you’ll know it, and you won’t spend a dollar fixing something that doesn’t need fixing.
We handle insurance claims: If the inspection turns up storm damage, we can work directly with your insurance company and walk you through the claims process. That’s not something every contractor offers.
No surprise costs: Every quote we give is written. If the scope changes, we call you before it does. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice.
Manufacturer-certified: We’re certified installers for GAF, Tamko, and CertainTeed. That matters for inspections because it means we know what proper installation looks like, and we can spot where corners were cut on the previous job.

Why Murfreesboro Homeowners Call Roof Troops First
What Murfreesboro Homeowners Say
Roof Inspection Questions, Answered
How long does a roof inspection take?
Most residential roof inspections take around 1 hour, depending on the size of the roof. We never rush the process.
Do I need to be home during the inspection?
No. As long as we can access the roof and, if needed, the attic, we can complete the inspection without you there. We’ll send you photos and go over the findings by phone or in person, whichever you prefer.
What's the difference between a roof inspection and an insurance adjuster's inspection?
An insurance adjuster is working for the insurance company. We work for you. Our inspection documents what’s actually on your roof, which can be important if you feel the adjuster’s estimate missed something. We can also attend the adjuster inspection with you and advocate on your behalf.
Can you inspect a roof before I buy a house?
Yes. Pre-purchase inspections are one of the most common things we do. We’ll give you a detailed condition report and a realistic picture of the roof’s remaining life, so you’re not finding out on move-in day.
Will you try to sell me a replacement if I just need an inspection?
No. Our job is to give you an accurate read on what’s there. If the roof is fine, we’ll tell you. If it needs repair, we’ll tell you that. If it needs replacement, we’ll explain exactly why and give you a written quote with no obligation attached.
What happens after the inspection?
You get the photos and the findings. If we recommended any work, we’ll provide a written quote. What you do from there is entirely up to you. We don’t follow up repeatedly or pressure you into a decision.
Do you inspect commercial roofs?
Yes. We inspect flat and low-slope commercial roofs, including TPO and EPDM systems. Commercial inspections are scoped separately. Call us at 615-258-9977 to discuss what you need.
