Roof repair and replacement in Hendersonville.

Hendersonville was not incorporated until 1969, and by the 2020 census it had more than 61,000 residents, the most of any city in Sumner County. US 31E and the State Route 386 freeway run through town, with Indian Lake Village and the Streets of Indian Lake along Indian Lake Boulevard. Rock Castle, Daniel Smith’s stone home completed in 1796, still stands on the lake.

A lot of the housing went up in the decades after the dam. Lakeside Park, on the west side near the water, was built mostly between 1961 and 1978 with ranch and split level homes on streets like Gatone Drive and Vulco Drive. Split level roofs have more parts than a plain ranch: several roof planes at different heights and sidewalls where a lower roof meets a taller wall. When we replace one, we pull the old step flashing, check the sheathing under each section, and rebuild every wall joint so it sheds water.

Many homes sit near the shoreline, close to parks like Sanders Ferry and Drakes Creek, and open water gives wind a clear run at a roof. After a storm we photograph each slope, the ridge, and the flashing so you can see the damage for yourself. Hendersonville is about fifty minutes from Murfreesboro through Nashville, so we group work here into scheduled blocks.
