Hail is the big storm risk in Shelbyville
Hail is a real risk in Bedford County. On May 8, 2024, the National Weather Service received reports of golf-ball-size hail, and one hailstone measuring 2 inches, along Midland Road near the Shelbyville airport. Hail that size can crack shingles and dent gutters, vents, and metal roofs. On April 5, 2017, an unusual EF-1 tornado touched down about 5 miles southwest of Shelbyville, with winds near 95 mph and a path just over 7 miles long. It damaged trees and barns and tore up some home roofs before lifting.
Hail damage hides well. From the ground, a hail-struck shingle roof looks fine. Up close, the hits show as dark spots where granules were knocked off, and on soft metal like gutters, vent caps, and pipe flashing, the dents are easy to measure. On metal barn and shop roofs common across Bedford County, large hail leaves dents that can break the paint and start rust.
If you can’t remember the last time someone was on your roof after a hailstorm, it’s worth a look. We can fly a drone over the roof, mark every hit, and photograph the gutters and vents that prove hail size. Then you get a written estimate.
Hail on metal and shingle roofs in Bedford County
Shelbyville and Bedford County have plenty of metal roofs on farmhouses, barns, and shops, and hail affects metal differently from shingles. Large hail like the golf-ball and 2-inch stones reported along Midland Road in May 2024 leaves dents in metal panels. If a dent cracks the paint or coating, the steel can start to rust, and hits at seams and fasteners can loosen them.
On shingle roofs, the same hail breaks granules loose and bruises the mat, which shortens shingle life even if the roof doesn’t leak right away. Gutters, vents, and AC fins usually show dents first.
When we inspect after a Bedford County hailstorm, we check the house and every outbuilding, measure dents on gutters and vents to estimate hail size, and photograph hits on each roof. For homes in the Belmont Street, Frierson Eakin, and South Brittain historic districts, we note the existing materials so repairs can be matched to the design guidelines.
What we do after a storm
After a Bedford County hailstorm, we fly a drone over barn and shop roofs as well as the house, so you get one set of photos for the whole property.
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 Shelbyville?
In Shelbyville, metal hail damage, shingle hail damage, and gutter replacement are estimated separately so you can see each one. 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.
Shelbyville permits after a storm
Inside Shelbyville city limits, storm repairs that need a permit, usually decking or framing work, go through the Building and Codes Department at 100 N. Cannon Blvd. (931-488-4230) and its OpenGov portal. In the local historic districts, a storm repair that changes materials or colors should follow the design guidelines. Rural Bedford County addresses go through the county. We confirm the requirements for your address.
If you decide to file a claim, give your insurer our photos and estimate. We’ll meet the adjuster on the roof if you’d like and point out the hail hits we marked. You handle the claim itself, and we never waive deductibles. Once it’s settled, our own crew does the work, whether that’s shingles on the house, panels on the barn, or both.

Shelbyville storm damage roofing FAQ
How can I tell if hail damaged my Shelbyville roof? Check your gutters, downspouts, and AC unit for fresh dents. If they’re dented, the roof probably took hits too. We’ll confirm with a free drone or hands-on inspection.
Does hail damage metal roofs? It can. Large hail dents panels, and dents that crack the coating can rust. Hits at seams can also loosen fasteners.
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.
