Goodlettsville, Tennessee · Sumner County
Goodlettsville's houses run from the seventies through the 2000s, so a roof here may be a third replacement or a first. We inspect, repair and replace them, and fit gutters that suit the clay along Mansker Creek.
TL;DR
Three Stone Roofing & Exteriors serves Goodlettsville from its Franklin office, about 28 miles away, on both the Davidson and Sumner County sides of the city. Census estimates count about 8,400 homes with a median build year of 1990, and about a third were built before 1980, so many roofs here are on their second or third round. Permits come from the City of Goodlettsville. On May 4, 2021, the National Weather Service rated an EF0 tornado here that brought down trees and power lines along Lickton Pike and Highway 41.
The ones on houses built before 2000, which is most of the city. Census estimates put about 25 percent of Goodlettsville's homes in the 1960s and '70s and another 31 percent in the 1980s and '90s, against roughly 14 percent built since 2010. A house from the seventies has usually had its roof replaced at least once; a house from the nineties may still carry an original that is well past its best.
What we look for depends on that age. On the older houses it is soft decking at the eaves, a second layer of shingles and flashing that was reused instead of renewed. On the 2000s houses, about a fifth of the city, it is granule loss and tabs that have started to lift. Either way, every elevation is photographed and the report is yours even when the roof is fine, and a roof replacement is proposed only when a repair won't do the job.

The National Weather Service rated it an EF0, with peak winds of 80 mph on a path of about 6.4 miles, and its survey describes trees and power lines down along Lakeside Drive, Lickton Pike and Highway 41. A separate EF0 touched down in Gallatin the same day.
Wind at that strength, or a limb coming down across a roof, can crease shingles and pull flashing loose without anything showing from the yard. An inspection is how you find out. Active leaks and fresh storm damage go to the front of our schedule, usually the same day, and we carry tarp material to dry the house in on that first visit. If there is a claim, you file it with your insurer; our Haag-certified advisors supply the photo report and scope and meet your adjuster on the roof.
Out and away from the house, onto ground that can absorb the water. Mansker Creek runs through the middle of Goodlettsville, and the rolling land on either side is clay over limestone. Clay takes water in slowly, so a downspout that empties at the foundation leaves a puddle against the wall after every storm, and on a slope the runoff heads for the lowest corner of the house.
Our seamless aluminum gutters are formed on site to the exact length of each run, in 5-inch or 6-inch K-style, half-round or full-round. A two-story with long eaves, or a roof that drains several slopes into one corner, is better served by the 6-inch size, which carries roughly 40 percent more water. Downspouts go where the yard can take the flow, and guards keep leaf litter out where trees hang over the roof.
Fiber cement, in most cases where the original siding has had its day. Houses from the seventies and eighties here often carry vinyl or wood that has faded, cracked or warped, and James Hardie lap, board-and-batten or shingle siding replaces it with a board built to hold paint. As a James Hardie Select Contractor, we register the 30-year product warranty and the 15-year ColorPlus finish warranty. Norandex vinyl is the other option we install.
Where the siding is sound and only the finish is tired, exterior painting follows six steps: wash, mask, repair, prime, paint and inspect. Taking on the roof, gutters and siding together keeps one project manager on the whole house, from the first inspection to the warranty registration.
Services in Goodlettsville
Roof work leads here because so much of Goodlettsville went up between the sixties and the nineties: roof repairs where a newer roof has one problem, full replacement where an older one has run its course. Gutters come next on the clay along Mansker Creek. For a garage or basement, a Penntek polyurea flake floor is one Penntek rates four times stronger than epoxy.

These three come from our gallery, not from Goodlettsville addresses. We picked them for the houses here: a GAF Timberline UHDZ roof in Weathered Wood, Spectra 6-inch K-style gutters for long eaves, and a light gray Penntek flake garage floor.

Answers
The City of Goodlettsville is the permit office for work inside its limits. The city spans the Davidson and Sumner county line, and what a given job requires depends on its scope, so check with the city before work begins. Your project manager can help confirm the details while the job is being planned.
Yes. The National Weather Service survey of the May 4, 2021 EF0 lists Lickton Pike among the places where trees and power lines came down, along with Lakeside Drive and Highway 41, with winds peaking at 80 mph. If your house is near that path and the roof hasn't been looked at since, a free inspection with photos will show whether anything shifted.
Sometimes, though a roof that old is usually near the end. If the shingles are sound and the trouble is one leak at a pipe boot, valley or chimney, a repair makes sense and we will say so. If the granules are gone across whole slopes or the decking is soft, replacement is the honest answer. The photo report shows you which it is.
(615) 434-3333, our Franklin office at 6100 Tower Circle, about 28 miles from Goodlettsville. That office books our Middle Tennessee inspections, most of them within one business day; the Huntsville number is for North Alabama. Leaks and fresh storm damage are seen first, usually the same day.
