Roof repair and replacement in Lascassas.

Lascassas was never incorporated, and it is still a farming community at heart. Local school records suggest a private academy operated here as early as 1824, and the rock fence in front of the old Lascassas School, known locally as the Courting Wall, can be seen from Lascassas Pike. In 1993 students and teachers walked from the old school to the new Lascassas Elementary on the other side of the road, and a bridge over the Stones River leads into the heart of the community.

From the crossroads, Highway 266 heads south toward Walterhill and north toward Norene in Wilson County, while Lascassas Pike runs east through open farmland toward Milton. Rutherford County grew from about 182,000 people in 2000 to more than 341,000 in 2020, and it lost more than 22,000 acres of farmland between 2014 and 2023. Out here the house may not be the only roof on the property, and barns, shops, and equipment sheds wear out on their own schedule.

Lascassas is close enough that it does not wait for a grouped trip the way our farther towns do. We schedule it like any Murfreesboro address, walk the house and outbuildings, and leave you with photos and a written proposal.
