Nashville’s recent storms and what they did to roofs

Nashville has taken two major tornado hits in recent years. On March 3, 2020, an EF-3 tornado crossed the Cumberland River near John C. Tune Airport and moved through North Nashville, Germantown, East Nashville and Five Points, Donelson, and Hermitage, then into Wilson County. The National Weather Service rated it the longest-tracked tornado in Middle Tennessee since records began in 1950. On December 9, 2023, an EF-2 tornado touched down in north Nashville and moved through Madison, with the heaviest damage along East Campbell Road and Nesbitt Lane.

Then came the January 2026 ice storm. NWS reports showed about half an inch of freezing rain in Nashville and near Berry Hill and 0.7 inch near Old Hickory. At the peak, about 230,000 NES customers were without power, the largest outage in NES history.

Older Nashville homes take storm damage differently from new ones. On an early-1900s house with board decking, a limb strike can split boards between rafters. On infill homes, wind tends to peel flashing at parapets and low-slope edges. We inspect for the problems your type of house is prone to, not just for missing shingles.

Storm damage on different kinds of Nashville homes

How a Nashville roof takes storm damage depends on the house. On early-1900s homes in East Nashville and Germantown, a falling limb can split old board decking between rafters, and wind can lift the edges of multiple overlaid layers at once. On postwar brick ranches in Donelson, Inglewood, Madison, and Crieve Hall, wind usually takes shingles at the ridge and the windward rakes.

On the tall infill homes across the urban core, storm wind tends to peel flashing at parapets and the edges of low-slope sections, and driven rain finds its way in at roof-to-wall joints. Those leaks often show up on interior walls, not ceilings.

The December 9, 2023 tornado through north Nashville and Madison and the March 3, 2020 tornado across North Nashville, Germantown, East Nashville, Donelson, and Hermitage both produced every kind of this damage. We inspect for what your type of house is prone to, then document it with photos and drone shots.

What we do after a storm

For Nashville storm inspections, we use a drone on tall infill homes and steep older roofs where walking the whole surface isn’t safe.

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 Nashville?

For Nashville storm repairs, low-slope membrane work and flashing at parapets cost more than shingle repairs, and the estimate separates them. 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.

Nashville permits and overlays after a storm

Storm repairs on a one- or two-family Nashville home are generally treated as maintenance when they replace existing roofing like-for-like. Decking or structural repairs need a Metro Codes permit, and laying new shingles over damaged ones is on Metro’s permit-required list. In a Historic Preservation or landmark overlay, changes to roofing can need a Preservation Permit from Metro Historic Zoning, even after a storm.

We look up your address on the overlay map before we schedule the work, so a storm repair doesn’t stall waiting for paperwork. If the roof needs to be tarped while permits are pending, we’ll do that right away. We respond from our Nashville shop on Ambrose Ave, a short drive from North Nashville, Madison, and Donelson, and our phone line is answered 24/7.

Nashville storm damage roofing FAQ

Is Nashville storm damage from 2023 or earlier still worth inspecting? Yes, if you never had it checked. Many policies limit how long you have to report damage, so read yours, but damage left alone keeps getting worse either way. We’ll show you what’s there.

Can you inspect a tall Nashville infill roof safely? Yes. We use a drone where walking the roof isn’t safe, and we check parapets and low-slope sections closely.

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.
