Madison, Tennessee · Davidson County
Most of Madison was built in the sixties and seventies, so the roof on a house here is rarely its first. We inspect, repair and replace those roofs, and the gutters and siding that go with them.
TL;DR
Three Stone Roofing & Exteriors works on Madison homes from its Franklin office, about 22 miles south. Madison is part of the consolidated city of Nashville, so a roofing permit here comes from Metro Nashville Codes and Building Safety. Census estimates for the 37115 ZIP code count about 20,700 homes with a median build year of 1977, and the EF2 tornado of December 9, 2023 crossed Madison near East Campbell Road and Nesbitt Lane.
It means most Madison roofs have been replaced at least once, and the next one has to reckon with the work done before it. Census estimates for the 37115 ZIP code put about 23 percent of homes before 1960 and another 31 percent between 1960 and 1979. Only about one house in six has gone up since 2000.
So an inspection here spends as much time on what lies under the shingles as on the shingles: soft decking along the eaves, a second layer left in place, flashing that was reused instead of renewed. All of it goes on a written, line-item proposal before work starts, and we hold to no surprise change orders. CertainTeed and GAF architectural shingles suit most of these houses, and a designer line such as CertainTeed Presidential Shake gives a plain sixties roofline more depth.

Yes. The National Weather Service rated the December 9, 2023 tornado EF2, with a peak of 130 mph near Old Hickory Dam, and its survey records three deaths and 21 injuries in Madison along East Campbell Road and Nesbitt Lane. The storm went on into Sumner County, where about 600 homes and businesses were damaged.
Roofs near that track that were patched in a hurry in the weeks afterward deserve a second look. We photograph every elevation and send you the report whatever it shows. If the damage is from a storm, the claim is yours to file with your insurer; our Haag-certified, insurance-trained advisors supply the photo report and scope and meet the adjuster on the roof.
Metro Nashville Codes and Building Safety. Madison has no town government of its own: it is a community within the consolidated city of Nashville and Davidson County, so the Metro office that permits work across the county handles a re-roof here too. What a particular job requires depends on its scope, so confirm it with Metro before work begins.
Fewer than half of Madison's homes are lived in by the people who own them, about 43 percent by census estimate, which puts a lot of roofs in the hands of landlords who live elsewhere. For them the photo report is the useful part: every elevation, every problem marked, sent whether or not anything needs doing. One project manager stays on the job from the first inspection to the warranty registration.
Well away from the foundation. Much of Madison sits on the Cumberland bottoms north of the river's bend, on clay over limestone, and clay takes water in slowly, so rain that lands at the foot of a wall tends to stay there.
We form seamless aluminum gutters on site to the length of each run, in 5-inch or 6-inch K-style. The 6-inch size moves roughly 40 percent more water, which matters on a long run or a roof that funnels a big area into one corner. When the gutters are as old as the roof, they can be replaced in the same project under the same project manager.
Services in Madison
On a housing stock this age, roof replacement is the main job, with roof repairs where a newer roof has one local problem. Siding comes next: James Hardie fiber cement in lap, board-and-batten or shingle replaces tired vinyl or wood, and as a Select Contractor we register its 30-year product and 15-year ColorPlus finish warranties.

None of these three is a Madison address. They come from our gallery and suit the houses here: CertainTeed Landmark in Weathered Wood, Spectra 6-inch K-style gutters on a tan brick home, and a CertainTeed Presidential Shake roof in Charcoal.

“Best company ever! They worked with our insurance and handled everything! Absolutely the best crew of guys also!

Metro Nashville Codes and Building Safety. Because Madison is part of the consolidated city of Nashville, there is no separate Madison codes office, and permits for roofing, siding and other exterior work go through Metro. Requirements depend on the scope of the job and the property, so check with Metro or ask your project manager to confirm what yours needs.
Yes. Every inspection ends with a photo report covering each elevation of the house, and it is sent to you even when nothing is wrong, so an owner who lives elsewhere sees what we saw. If work is needed, you get a line-item proposal, and one project manager is your contact from that inspection to the final walkthrough.
A second look is worth it, especially near East Campbell Road and Nesbitt Lane, where the National Weather Service survey placed the EF2's deaths and injuries. A quick patch can leave loose shingles or flashing nearby that only show up in the next hard rain. The inspection is free, and the photo report tells you whether the patch held.
