Lebanon, Tennessee · Wilson County
Lebanon's homes come in three kinds: older frame and masonry near the square, a rural ring of farmhouses and country properties with outbuildings, and subdivisions built mostly since 2005. We inspect and replace roofs, and fit gutters and siding, on all three.
TL;DR
Three Stone Roofing & Exteriors works in Lebanon from its Franklin office, about 32 miles away. Census estimates count about 18,300 homes with a median build year of 2004 and about 39 percent built since 2010, alongside older houses near the square and rural properties in the surrounding county. Inside the city, permits go through City of Lebanon Codes; outside the limits, Wilson County handles them. The March 3, 2020 tornado, rated EF3 at its peak, reached Lebanon on a path of about 60 miles.
Mostly it changes the planning. Out past the subdivisions, many Lebanon-area properties sit on larger lots with long drives, outbuildings, a well and a septic field, and each of those limits where a dumpster, a delivery truck and a crew can go. Heavy equipment parked over a drain field is a problem that outlasts the roof, so staging is planned around those before day one, with drives and landscaping protected.
The roof choice opens up too. Standing-seam metal suits a farmhouse roofline well, and CertainTeed and GAF architectural shingles cover the rest. Older country houses also tend to hide more under the shingles, so the inspection photographs every elevation, and the line-item proposal names what the decking and flashing need before work starts.

Two National Weather Service surveys name Lebanon. On February 24, 2011, an EF2 with 120 mph winds ran an 8-mile path south of the city, from Gladeville Road to I-40 at Cumberland Street, injuring two people; warehouses between Franklin Road and Highway 840 lost sections of roof and wall.
On March 3, 2020, the tornado that crossed Nashville and Mount Juliet carried on into Lebanon, on a path of about 60 miles that the NWS rated EF3 at its peak. If your roof was repaired after either storm, a fresh inspection costs nothing and comes with photos. For any new damage, you file the claim with your insurer, and our Haag-certified advisors meet the adjuster on the roof with the report and scope.
Not most of them. About 39 percent of Lebanon's homes went up since 2010 and another 18 percent between 2000 and 2009, so a large share of the city's roofs are originals in their first or second decade. Those usually need an inspection after hail or wind and a repair here and there, not a new roof.
The houses from the mid-2000s are the ones to watch. Shingle edges that curl, granules collecting at the downspouts and tabs that lift after a windy night are the signs that a roof from that era is nearing its end. We will tell you if a repair covers it, and the photo report comes to you either way.
Care with materials more than anything. The frame and masonry houses closest to the square are the oldest in the city; census estimates put about one home in ten before 1960 and another 18 percent in the sixties and seventies. Most have been re-roofed more than once, so the inspection checks for old layers and tired decking before anything else.
On those houses, a designer shingle such as CertainTeed Presidential Shake, or BRAVA composite slate, keeps the roof in character. Painted wood siding that is still sound can be saved with our six-step exterior paint process; siding that isn't can be replaced in James Hardie fiber cement, which we register for its 30-year product warranty.

On the newer subdivisions it is inspection and repair; on the older houses near the square and the farmhouses out in Wilson County it is roof replacement, siding and paint. Wherever a roof is large or a run is long, 6-inch seamless gutters carry roughly 40 percent more water than the 5-inch size.
From the gallery
We chose these three from our gallery for Lebanon's mix of houses; none of them is in Lebanon. CertainTeed Landmark in Weathered Wood suits subdivision and farmhouse alike, Spectra 6-inch K-style gutters handle big roofs, and a white Penntek flake floor shows what a garage can become.
Neighbors voted us a Nextdoor Neighborhood Fave in 2024 and 2025. Every review below is real and public.
“Best company ever! They worked with our insurance and handled everything! Absolutely the best crew of guys also! They worked all day, completed our beautiful new roof and cleaned up every last thing before they left. My yard and back porch look cleaner this afternoon than before they came. Highly recommend this company!”
“My experience with three stone roofing has been nothing but excellent! Simon and his crew did a fabulous job on my roof! Definitely recommend them!”
“We recently hired Three Stone Roofing for a commercial roof installation, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. Their communication was top-notch — clear, timely, and always professional. In an industry where delays are common, Three Stone delivered exactly when they said they would.”
Answers
It depends on the city limits. Inside them, permits go through City of Lebanon Codes; outside, Wilson County handles them. A Lebanon mailing address doesn't always mean a city address, so check which side your property is on and confirm what your project needs with that office before work starts.
South of the city. The National Weather Service rated it EF2, with 120 mph winds, on an 8-mile path from Gladeville Road to I-40 at Cumberland Street, and warehouses between Franklin Road and Highway 840 lost roof and wall sections. A roof repaired after that storm has had fifteen years of weather since, and an inspection will show how it has held.
Yes. Rural properties around Lebanon often have a well, a septic field and a long drive, and we plan the staging around all three so trucks and the dumpster stay clear of them. Drives and landscaping are protected before work begins, and one project manager handles the job from the inspection to the final walkthrough.
Yes. Standing-seam metal is one of our residential roofing systems, and it suits a farmhouse roofline well. Metal takes longer to install than shingles, and the schedule in your proposal reflects that. If you prefer shingles, CertainTeed and GAF architectural lines and BRAVA composite shake are the other options we install.
Many are getting there. Houses built between 2000 and 2009 make up about 18 percent of Lebanon, and where those roofs are still the originals they can start to show curled edges, granule loss or lifted tabs. A free inspection with photos tells you whether repair or replacement makes sense, and the recommendation comes in writing.
