Fayetteville, Tennessee · Lincoln County
Fayetteville, home of the Lincoln County Courthouse, sits on the Elk River, and nearly half its homes were built before 1960. Our Huntsville office, about 29 miles away, replaces and repairs its roofs, siding and paint.
TL;DR
Three Stone Roofing & Exteriors serves Fayetteville, Tennessee from its Huntsville office, about 29 miles away, under Tennessee license BC-A #80031. Fayetteville's housing is old, with a median build year of 1964 and about 45% of homes from before 1960. The city's Planning & Codes Department lists all roofing and re-roofing as work that needs a permit, so plan for one before any roof replacement starts. Every inspection is free and photographs each elevation.
Fayetteville requires a permit for all roofing and re-roofing, according to the 2023 permit brochure from the City of Fayetteville Planning & Codes Department. The department is at 110 Elk Avenue South, and its number is 931-433-2565. A Fayetteville re-roof should have that permit in hand before the old roof comes off.
Siding and other exterior work may carry requirements of their own, so ask the department about anything else in your proposal. Ours describes the job line by line, from tear-off and decking to underlayment, flashing, vents and gutters, which makes the conversation with Planning & Codes short.

A pre-1960 Fayetteville house needs a roof that suits the building and a deck sound enough to carry it. About 45% of the city's homes were built before 1960 and another 23% in the 1960s and '70s, by Census estimates, so most have been re-roofed more than once. Tearing off to the deck shows what earlier roofs left behind: stacked layers, soft boards, chimney flashing patched over and over.
Fayetteville has two historic districts on the National Register, Mulberry-Washington-Lincoln and South Elk Street. For houses like theirs, BRAVA composite slate and shake give a period look without the weight of stone or wood, and Three Stone is the only BRAVA Certified Craftsman contractor in Tennessee and Alabama. CertainTeed designer shingles are another way to the same look.
Tornadoes have hit Fayetteville more than once, by NWS Huntsville's account. Its write-up of the February 29, 1952 F4 tornado records 932 of the town's 1,828 buildings damaged or destroyed, two people killed and 166 injured, and notes it was the fourth tornado on a similar track in a hundred years, after 1851, 1890 and 1909.
What that history argues for today is an inspection after any severe storm, before a lifted or creased shingle turns into a leak. Fresh storm damage is triaged first, usually the same day, and tarped on the first visit. The claim is yours to file with your insurer, and our Haag-certified advisors back it with a photo report and scope, then meet the adjuster on the roof.
Fayetteville rental owners should know the photo report works in their favor. About half the city's homes are rented, by Census estimates, and an owner who can't be on site still sees every elevation of the roof in the report we send. The proposal is itemized, and one project manager is the single contact from inspection to the final walkthrough.
Exterior painting, James Hardie or Norandex siding and new gutters can go on the same contract as the roof, so tenants live with one project instead of three. Penntek polyurea flake floors are available for garages and patios.
Services in Fayetteville
With nearly seven in ten homes built before 1980, full roof replacement leads the list in Fayetteville, with decking repair wherever earlier roofs wore the deck down. Paint and Hardie siding come next on houses that have stood since before 1960. A sound roof with one leak gets a roof repair quote instead of a new roof.

We picked CertainTeed Landmark in Moire Black, CertainTeed Presidential Shake in Autumn Blend and Spectra 6-inch K-style gutters on a red brick house from our gallery for Fayetteville's older homes. None of the three is in Fayetteville.
