About Us

In a perfect climate, most asphalt roofing systems begin to break down and become compromised around the 20 year mark. However, roofs are exposed daily to harsh climates such as UV rays, heat, hail, ice and snow that can cause damage to the roof components. We recommend having a qualified roofing contractor inspect your roof once a year to determine if there is any damage.

New shingles may sometimes be manufactured with extra granules called “riders” or “sleepers” that do not get imbedded into the shingle mat and can fall off shortly after installation.

However, large areas of granule loss that expose the underlying asphalt place the shingle at risk of premature failure because UV rays can now get to the asphalt layer. Excessive or rapid granule loss may be covered by your manufacturer warranty. In situations in which hail has knocked off large areas of granules, you can expect the life of your shingles to be appreciably reduced due to the effects of ultraviolet radiation from the sun and should be investigated by your homeowner’s insurance carrier. If you notice that your shingles are losing granules, give us a call first so we can determine if your roof system has been compromised.

This is dependent upon the size of your home, weather forecasts, and the type of roof you’re having installed. Typically, Harpeth Roofing & Construction completes most asphalt shingle roof installations in just one day. We try to make the process as quick and simple as we can while offering a quality service that doesn’t cut any corners.

A leaking roof can have many different causes. The goal of your roof covering is to shed water off your roof and away from your home. When a roofing system fails, it’s important to pinpoint the cause. Calling a qualified roofing inspector, like Harpeth Roofing & Construction, to inspect your roof is easy and hassle-free. We can inspect the roof to determine if the damage is repairable or not.

There are many cases where a leaking roof can be repaired, but this is not always the best option, or an easy one. Often, a leaking roof can be a sign to an underlying problem in the integrity of the entire roofing system, such as storm damage. If we determine the roof has been compromised by a storm, we’ll be able to advise you on the best course of action. We offer a free visual damage report so that you can be fully aware of what damage is, or isn’t, on your roof.

Providing local code allows, it is possible to recover your existing asphalt shingle. However, this may void your manufacturer warranty. In order to offer a Certainteed 5-Star Warranty, we must be allowed to remove your existing roof covering down to the decking. Harpeth Roofing & Construction does not recommend reshingling over your existing shingle layer as we are unable to see any damage that may exist underneath the surface.
