Quality Refurb Roofing & Construction offers same-day inspections, emergency tarping, and full hail/wind damage roof repairs across Middle Tennessee.
What Is the Most Common Storm Damage to
Roofs in Nashville?
Storms impact roofs differently, but in Middle Tennessee, these are the issues homeowners see most often:
Hail Damage
-
Dented or cracked shingles
-
Bruised shingle mat (soft spots you can press in)
-
Granule loss exposing black asphalt
-
Dings in gutters, flashing, or roof vents
-
Cracks in siding, fascia, or window trim
Wind Damage
-
Lifted shingles that break seal
-
Completely missing shingles
-
Creased shingles (a #1 sign of wind damage)
-
Exposed nails or loosened flashing
-
Debris impacts from branches or limbs
Water Intrusion That Follows Storm Damage
-
Slow leaks into attic
-
Mold growth in insulation
-
Drywall stains on ceilings or walls
-
Sagging soffit or fascia
Even small hail or moderate wind can cause damage that takes weeks or months to show up—by that time, water has already seeped in.
How Do I Know If Storm Damage Requires
Roof Repair or Replacement?
Here’s the breakdown homeowners often miss:
If damage is localized → You need repair.
Examples:
-
One or two missing shingles
-
Small area of wind-lifted shingles
-
Minor hail dents with no exposed fiberglass
Repair cost: usually $250–$950
If damage is widespread → You may need replacement.
Examples:
-
Soft spots on many shingles
-
Large sections of granule loss
-
Major wind uplift breaking shingle seals
-
Visible mat exposure or cracked shingles
-
Leaks detected in multiple attic areas
Replacement cost: depends on materials but often eligible for insurance-covered full replacement.
If you’re unsure → Get an inspection.
Most Nashville homeowners can’t see storm damage from the ground.
You shouldn’t climb the roof.
And insurance companies require documented evidence.
Quality Refurb provides:
-
Drone inspections
-
Detailed photo reports
-
Documentation your insurer accepts
-
Help navigating the claim process
Bruising
Soft “spongy” spots on shingles where hail hit hard.
Granule Loss in Circular Patterns
If you see spots where the black asphalt underneath is exposed, that’s hail impact.
Dents in Metal Roofing Components
Check:
-
Flashing
-
Vents
-
Gutters
-
Downspouts
-
AC units
If these are dented, the shingles are almost always damaged too.
Shingles Cracked Down the Middle
Large hailstones crack the shingle completely—this always requires replacement.
Wind damage is more subtle. Look for:
Shingles Flapping or Lifting
Even if they fall back down, the seal is broken.
Insurance typically covers this.
Creased Shingles
Horizontal crease across the shingle = certain wind damage.
Missing Shingles
Most obvious sign.
But even three missing shingles can expose entire sections of underlayment.
Loose Flashing
Wind commonly damages:
-
Chimney flashing
-
Sidewall flashing
-
Valleys
This is one of the most common leak sources.
What Should You Do Immediately After a Storm?
Here’s the homeowner checklist that prevents expensive repairs later:

A roofer should help you:

Submit clear evidence
-
Meet with your adjuster
-
Prevent denial due to lack of documentation
Why You Should Never Delay Storm Damage Repairs
If hail or wind has created even a tiny breach, here’s what happens:
Within 24 Hours
Moisture enters attic insulation.
Within 72 Hours
Mold spores begin growing.
Within 1–2 Weeks
Insulation loses R-value, raising energy bills.
Within 1 Month
Roof decking may rot—this increases repair costs dramatically.
Within 3–6 Months
You may need a full roof replacement where a repair would have been enough.
Should You Repair Hail/Wind Damage or Replace the Roof?
Here’s how to decide:
Choose Repair If:
-
Damage is isolated
-
Shingles are still in good condition
-
Roof is under 12 years old
Choose Replacement If:
-
Hail damage is widespread
-
Multiple leaks appear
-
Wind lifted or creased many shingles
-
The roof is old (15+ years)
-
Insurance recommends replacement
How Long Does Storm Damage Roof Repair Take?
Emergency Tarping:
Same day
Minor Repairs:
1–3 hours
Moderate Repairs:
Half-day to full day
Full Replacement:
Typically 1 day for most Nashville homes
