Gladeville, Tennessee · Wilson County
More than half of Gladeville's houses went up in the 2000s, on thin cedar-glade soil over limestone. We repair and replace their roofs, and fit gutters that move water off ground that cannot hold much of it.
TL;DR
Three Stone Roofing & Exteriors serves Gladeville from its Franklin office, about 25 miles away. About 53 percent of this Wilson County community's roughly 730 homes were built in the 2000s, with a median build year of 2003, so many roofs are still the builder's originals and nearing their first replacement. The ground is cedar glade, thin soil directly over limestone. On February 24, 2011 an EF2 tornado crossed Percy Priest Lake into Gladeville. Permits come from Wilson County Building Codes.
Many are getting there. Census estimates put about 53 percent of Gladeville's homes in the 2000s and another 12 percent since 2010, so most roofs here are either the shingles the builder installed or a first replacement. A roof from 2003, the median year, has now been on the house for more than two decades.
That is the age at which repair and replacement are both on the table, and the inspection decides between them. Lifted tabs, cracked pipe boots and loose flashing can be repaired; granule loss across whole slopes means it is time to replace. CertainTeed Landmark and GAF architectural shingles fit these houses, and standing-seam metal is an option where the house suits it.

Mostly sideways. Gladeville lies in cedar glade country, where a thin layer of soil rests directly on limestone, so rain pouring off a roof cannot sink in far and runs across the surface instead. A downspout that empties beside the foundation puts that runoff exactly where you least want it.
Gutters with enough capacity, and downspouts that discharge well away from the house, are the answer. We form seamless aluminum gutters on site in 5-inch or 6-inch K-style; the 6-inch size moves roughly 40 percent more water, which helps on a long run or a big roof. We also fit guards, and clean or repair the gutters a house already has.
The National Weather Service rated it EF2, with winds of 120 mph, on a 7.5-mile path that began near Smith Springs Road in southeast Davidson County, crossed Percy Priest Lake and continued into Wilson County and Gladeville. Along that path about ten homes had significant roof damage, and two churches had roof damage as well.
Roofs replaced after that storm are now about fifteen years old. Whether yours was one of them or not, a free inspection photographs every elevation, and any permit goes through Wilson County Building Codes, since Gladeville is unincorporated. If a future storm does damage, you file the claim; our Haag-certified advisors bring the photo report and scope and meet the adjuster at the house.
Services in Gladeville
In a community built mostly in the 2000s, roof replacement on aging builder roofs and repairs on newer ones lead the list, with gutters close behind on the thin glade soil. James Hardie fiber cement siding replaces vinyl or wood that has faded, and Penntek polyurea flake floors finish the garage.
From the gallery
None of these is in Gladeville; they are gallery projects that suit its houses: a black standing-seam metal roof, CertainTeed Landmark in Moire Black, and Spectra 6-inch K-style gutters in seamless aluminum.

Answers
Yes. Gladeville is an unincorporated community in Wilson County, so building permits for roofing, siding and other exterior work come from Wilson County Building Codes. Whether a particular job needs one depends on its scope and the property, so check with the county before work starts or ask your project manager to confirm it.
Yes. The National Weather Service rated the February 24, 2011 tornado EF2 at 120 mph and traced it from the Smith Springs Road area across Percy Priest Lake into Gladeville. About ten homes along its path had significant roof damage. If you are unsure how your roof came through, or how it was repaired, a free inspection will show you.
Sometimes. If the deck is sound and the trouble is in one place, such as a pipe boot, a few lifted shingles or loose flashing, a repair makes sense, and we will tell you so instead of selling a roof you don't need. If the shingles are worn across whole slopes, replacement is the better use of the money.
Active leaks and fresh storm damage are triaged first and usually seen the same day. Our crews carry tarp material so the house can be made watertight on the first visit, and the permanent repair or replacement follows with a written proposal. Gladeville is about 25 miles from our Franklin office at (615) 434-3333.
