Rural Hill, Tennessee · Wilson County
Rural Hill, along Stewarts Ferry Pike in Wilson County, is made up almost entirely of houses from the 1980s and '90s. We inspect, repair and replace their roofs, and handle gutters and siding.
TL;DR
Three Stone Roofing & Exteriors serves Rural Hill, an unincorporated community on Stewarts Ferry Pike in Wilson County, from its Franklin office about 21 miles away. Nearly four in five of its roughly 840 homes were built between 1980 and 1999, and census estimates count none since 2010, so most roofs here have been replaced at least once already. Permit questions go to the Wilson County Building Codes Department in Lebanon.
Almost all of them come from the last two decades of the twentieth century. The community itself is old, with a post office that opened in 1833 and was one of the earliest in Wilson County, but its housing is not: census estimates put about 79 percent of homes in 1980 to 1999 and another 16 percent in the 1960s and '70s, with a median build year of 1991.
That uniformity makes the roof question fairly predictable. A house from the late '80s or early '90s is on its second roof or still carrying a first one that is long past due. Either way, the inspection should check the decking and count layers, not just look at the shingles. Ours is free and comes with photos of every elevation.

Have the roof inspected before the next rain finds the damage for you. Severe weather has passed close by before: the National Weather Service survey of the February 24, 2011 EF2 tornado that began in Antioch traced its last damage to near Gladeville Circle and Stewarts Ferry Pike.
When you call, an active leak is triaged ahead of routine work, usually the same day, and the crew brings tarp material to make the house watertight. You submit the insurance claim; our Haag-certified, insurance-trained advisors supply the photo report and the scope, and they are there when the adjuster walks the roof. If the damage is limited, our roof repair crews fix it without proposing a new roof.
At the Wilson County Building Codes Department, at 233 East Gay Street in the Courthouse Annex in Lebanon. Rural Hill is unincorporated, so the county is the office for it. Whether a re-roof on your property needs a permit is a question to put to the department directly.
From there the work is straightforward: a written line-item proposal, one project manager to the final walkthrough, and one to two days on the house for most re-roofs.
Services in Rural Hill
On houses of this age, roof replacement with CertainTeed or GAF architectural shingles is the main job, and standing-seam metal is an option for owners who want a different look. Gutters that sag, leak or overflow can be replaced with seamless aluminum gutters formed on site, and James Hardie fiber cement replaces worn siding.

These gallery projects are not in Rural Hill; we chose them because they suit its houses: a black standing-seam metal roof, CertainTeed Landmark in Heather Blend, and 6-inch K-style gutters with full-round downspouts.

Answers
The Wilson County Building Codes Department, at 233 East Gay Street in the Courthouse Annex in Lebanon. Rural Hill is a census-designated place rather than a town, so it has no codes office of its own. Ask the department whether your roofing, siding or gutter job needs a permit before it is scheduled.
Yes. Rural Hill sits on Stewarts Ferry Pike, about 21 miles from our Franklin office at 6100 Tower Circle, and we inspect, repair and replace roofs there. Most inspections are scheduled within one business day of a call to (615) 434-3333, and the photo report comes to you even if the roof is fine.
Yes. Standing-seam metal is one of the residential systems we install, and it can replace an aging shingle roof on a house of that era. Metal takes longer to install than shingles, and the written proposal gives the schedule. CertainTeed and GAF architectural shingles remain the more common replacement.
It depends on the roof. A 6-inch K-style gutter moves roughly 40 percent more water than a 5-inch one and suits larger or steeper roofs, long runs and lots with heavy tree litter. Smaller, simpler roofs often do fine with 5-inch. Your written proposal recommends a size for your roof and explains why.
