Manchester’s history of intense wind and hail

Manchester has been hit by unusually intense wind. On October 12, 2022, the National Weather Service surveyed a small but intense microburst along Interstate Drive with winds up to 85 mph. One home lost a large section of its roof and a porch column. Metal panels were torn off a farm co-op building and a gas station canopy, and a warehouse lost part of its roof. Trees came down across town that evening.

On May 8, 2024, 2-inch hail was reported in Manchester, big enough to crack shingles and dent gutters and metal roofs. On November 29, 2016, the NWS confirmed an EF-1 tornado in Manchester that damaged barns and outbuildings, minutes after another EF-1 hit Tullahoma.

Microbursts and hail damage roofs differently. A microburst pushes wind straight down and out, so it can peel a roof from the eave up on one side of a house and leave the other side untouched. Hail scatters hits over every slope that faced the storm. On Manchester storm inspections we check every slope and every outbuilding, because metal shop and barn roofs often take the worst of it.

What a microburst does to a Manchester roof

The October 12, 2022 microburst along Interstate Drive is a good example of how concentrated storm wind can be in Manchester. A microburst pushes air straight down and spreads it out at the ground, so it can tear a roof from the eave up on one side of a house and leave the other side looking fine. That night, one home lost a large section of its roof and a porch column, while trees came down all over town.

Damage like that doesn’t always show from the street. Shingles on the side that took the wind can be creased or unsealed. Metal panels on shops and barns can be lifted at the eaves and bent back down. Porch roofs and overhangs, which catch wind from below, are especially vulnerable.

On a Manchester storm inspection, we check every slope, every overhang, and every outbuilding, then document what we find. The May 2024 hail added another layer of damage on some properties, and we check for that too. Hail dents on a shop’s metal roof and wind creases on the house shingles are photographed separately, so each one is clear in the estimate.

What we do after a storm

On Manchester storm calls, we check the porch roof and overhangs from underneath as well as on top, since wind from below lifts them first.

We’re open 24/7 for emergency tarping. The storm inspection is free and covers every slope plus the gutters, vents, and flashing that show hail size. You get dated photos and a written estimate you can submit with a claim, and if you’d like, we’ll meet your adjuster on the roof. Our own crew does the repair, backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty.

Will insurance pay for storm damage in Manchester?

In Manchester, storm estimates often cover a house and a metal outbuilding together. Each building gets its own lines. Coverage is between you and your insurer, and we won’t promise an outcome; you or your licensed public adjuster handle the claim. We never waive deductibles. Paying out of pocket? A full shingle replacement on an average home usually runs $12,000 to $16,000, and financing is available. See insurance claim assistance.

Manchester permits after a storm

Inside Manchester city limits, storm repairs that need a permit go through the Health and Codes Department (931-723-1464) and the iWorQ portal. That’s typically decking or framing work. Routine shingle and metal repairs usually don’t need one. Coffee County handles addresses outside city limits.

Manchester storm damage roofing FAQ

My Manchester shop’s metal roof has hail dents. Is it a problem? It can be. Dents that crack the paint can start rust, and hits at seams can loosen fasteners. We’ll inspect the panels and seams and give you a written estimate.

Why does only one side of my Manchester roof look damaged? Microbursts and straight-line wind often hit one side hardest. We still check every slope, because damage can be hidden.

Do you waive insurance deductibles? No. We never waive or absorb deductibles. Your deductible is part of your policy, and paying it is your responsibility.
