Hail Damage Services
Hailstorms are among the most destructive weather events in Middle Tennessee. At Antebellum Roofworks, we specialize in hail damage roofing services designed to identify, repair, and prevent future damage to your home or business. Whether it’s cracked shingles, bruised metal panels, or invisible structural issues, our local team provides fast, thorough solutions that restore the safety and durability of your roof.
Understanding Hail Damage on Roofs
Hail damage occurs when ice pellets, sometimes as large as golf balls, strike your roof at high speeds. Even small hail can compromise your roofing system over time by weakening protective layers and making the structure more vulnerable to water infiltration.
Here’s what hail can do:
- Granule loss – Hail strips protective granules from asphalt shingles, exposing the underlayment to UV rays and moisture, which accelerates aging and decay.
- Cracked or bruised shingles – Visible or soft spots can form where hailstones hit, reducing the shingles’ ability to shed water.
- Dents in metal roofing or flashing – These not only compromise appearance but also the structural function of seams and transitions.
- Broken tiles or skylights – Impact points from hail can shatter clay, slate, or glass components, leading to leaks.
- Roof leaks or insulation damage – Even minor hail impacts can loosen seams, letting moisture seep into attic spaces.
According to NOAA, Tennessee reported over 120 hail events in 2023, with hailstones up to 1.75 inches in diameter, large enough to cause serious roofing damage.

Signs of Hail Damage to Look For
Hail damage isn’t always obvious to the untrained eye. Homeowners should watch for these warning signs:
- Bald spots on shingles – These indicate granule loss, leaving the roofing mat exposed.
- Black-colored dents or bruises – Subtle impact marks that may look like shadowed spots but weaken the shingles’ structure.
- Exposed or torn underlayment – May be visible after shingles are loosened or torn from the impact.
- Soft spots on the roof decking – A sign of trapped moisture weakening the roof sheathing below.
- Water stains on ceilings or attic insulation – Often the first internal clue of roofing failure due to hail.
- Damaged gutters or siding – Dings and dents on soft metals and vinyl surfaces may accompany roof damage and should be inspected.
Our team performs a comprehensive hail damage roofing inspection that includes drone imagery, physical examination, and moisture testing to catch hidden damage before it worsens.

Our Hail Damage Roofing Services
Emergency Tarping & Leak Control
We quickly cover compromised areas with durable tarps to protect your home from further exposure to rain or wind, buying you time for insurance and repair scheduling.
Hail Damage Roof Repair
We use impact-resistant shingles, reinforced flashing, and weather-tested materials to repair only what’s necessary. We aim to restore your roof’s function while preserving as much of the original structure as possible.
Full Roof Replacement
For widespread hail damage, especially on aging or layered roofs, a full replacement may be more cost-effective long-term. We install durable systems like Class 4 shingles, metal panels, and commercial-grade membranes for enhanced hail resilience.
Insurance Claim Assistance
Hail damage claims can be complex. We provide:
- Photographic documentation
- Itemized repair estimates
- Direct adjuster coordination
- Code compliance reviews
Our goal is to make sure you receive the maximum payout your policy provides.
Ongoing Maintenance & Inspection
We offer scheduled inspections, especially before storm season, and perform routine tune-ups to extend the life of your roof and ensure it’s ready to resist the next hail event.
Why Prompt Hail Damage Repairs Matter
Delaying roof repair after hail can result in major long-term costs. Here’s why:
- Progressive roof deterioration – Damage from a single hail event can worsen with each storm, leading to leaks, sagging, and structural failure.
- Interior water damage and mold growth – Moisture intrusion can impact drywall, ceiling materials, insulation, and even electrical systems.
- Insulation breakdown – Wet insulation loses effectiveness, driving up energy costs and making indoor temperatures harder to regulate.
- Higher energy bills due to attic moisture – A compromised roof can allow warm air to escape in winter and enter during summer, straining HVAC systems.
In many cases, insurers only allow 6 to 12 months to file a claim after a hailstorm. Acting fast ensures both home safety and financial protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
How common is hail damage in Franklin, TN?
Franklin and Williamson County see several hail events yearly, often during spring and early summer. Local roofs must be inspected regularly to catch damage early.

Most inspections take about 30–60 minutes, depending on roof size and pitch. We’ll provide a written report with photos the same day.
