Roof repair and replacement in Goodlettsville.

Goodlettsville incorporated in 1958 with just over 3,000 residents and chose to stay independent when Nashville and Davidson County merged their governments in 1963. The city roughly doubled during the 1960s and reached nearly 18,000 people by 2020. Its southern half is in Davidson County and its northern half is in Sumner, with Mansker Creek forming part of the line.

The oldest streets are close to downtown. Cedar Street, parallel to Long Hollow Pike, has hundred year old brick and clapboard houses on raised yards behind stone walls, and Church Street climbs steeply to a hilltop. Mansker’s Station, a reproduction frontier fort, sits a short walk from the Bowen House, a 1787 home described as the oldest brick house in Middle Tennessee. Subdivisions include Goodlettsville Heights off Rivergate Parkway, Mansker Creek Estates off Long Hollow Pike, and Kenwood Estates off Greer Road, and homes across the city run from all brick ranches and split levels to two story houses.

That range means a century old house near Cedar Street and a split level from later decades need very different plans. On older homes we check for plank decking, past layers, and chimney flashing. On hillside lots we plan ladder setup, material drops, and debris control before the crew arrives. Goodlettsville is about fifty minutes from Murfreesboro, through Nashville and up Interstate 65, so we book work here in blocks.
