Storm and hail damage on Murfreesboro roofs

Most roof damage in Murfreesboro doesn’t come from tornadoes. It comes from the spring and summer thunderstorm lines that push straight-line wind and hail across Rutherford County nearly every year, and from the occasional ice storm. Wind damage starts at ridges, rakes, and eaves, where shingles crease or lose their seal without blowing off. From the ground the roof looks fine; up close, the creased shingles are ready to go in the next blow.

Hail is even harder to see. Hail hits knock granules off and bruise the mat underneath, and the clearest evidence is often dents on gutters, downspouts, box vents, and the soft metal of pipe flashing. We check all of those, then walk the roof or fly a drone and mark every hit we find.

Ice is the third threat. The January 24 to 25, 2026 ice storm coated Middle Tennessee, with about 0.3 inch of ice southeast of Murfreesboro and half an inch at Eagleville, according to the National Weather Service. Middle Tennessee Electric had about 15,000 members out the first morning. Ice-loaded limbs punctured roofs across town, and ice at the eaves pushed water under shingles. Damage like that can take weeks to show up inside.

Hail checks on Murfreesboro roofs

Spring storm lines often cross Rutherford County from the southwest, so in Murfreesboro the west- and south-facing slopes usually take the most hail. When we inspect after a hail report, we start with the soft metals: gutters, downspouts, box vents, ridge vents, and the pipe flashing. Dents there tell us how big the hail was and which way it was moving.

Then we check the shingles on every slope that faced the storm. A hail hit on an asphalt shingle shows as a dark, round spot where granules are gone, sometimes with the mat bruised underneath. Older three-tab roofs in the established neighborhoods near downtown show hail faster than newer architectural shingles in Blackman or Siegel.

We mark every hit, photograph each one with a scale, and count hits per slope. You get those photos and a written estimate. Whether to file a claim is your call, and we’ll give you honest documentation either way.

What we do after a storm

Because we’re based in Murfreesboro, we can usually inspect the day after a storm, before a second round of weather makes the damage harder to read.

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 Murfreesboro?

If storm damage in Murfreesboro is limited to a few slopes, a repair may be all you need. If it’s spread across the roof, we’ll tell you replacement makes more sense. 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.

Permits and next steps after a Murfreesboro storm

Most storm repairs in Murfreesboro don’t need a permit. Shingle, flashing, and ridge repairs fall under the city and county exemption for roof covering work. If a limb or tree broke decking or rafters, the replacement of that structure does need a permit from the City of Murfreesboro or Rutherford County, and we pull it and schedule the inspection.

After the inspection, you’ll have a decision to make. If the damage is minor, you may simply pay for the repair. If it’s widespread, you may choose to file a claim. Either way, our photos and written estimate are yours. If you file, give your insurer our estimate and photos, and if you’d like us there, we’ll meet the adjuster on the roof. We don’t negotiate your claim and we never waive deductibles. When the claim is settled, we schedule the work with our own crew.
