Middle Tennessee storms can develop quickly and cause major roof damage. Preparing your roof before storm season can prevent leaks, shingle loss, and emergency repairs. Here is a simple checklist for Franklin, Brentwood, Spring Hill, and Nashville area homeowners.

1. Inspect for loose or missing shingles

Weak shingles are the first to come off in storms. Replacing damaged shingles early prevents larger failures.

2. Clean and secure gutters

Clogged gutters cause water to back up and damage fascia and decking. Ensure gutters are cleared and firmly attached.

3. Trim trees and remove dead branches

Branches touching the roof can cause abrasion and storm damage. Keep limbs away from roof surfaces.

4. Check flashing and penetrations

Loose flashing around chimneys, vents, or skylights is a common source of leaks. A roofer can correct this quickly.

5. Document roof condition

Taking photos before storm season helps provide proof when filing an insurance claim.

6. Schedule a professional inspection

Small issues caught early can save thousands. Red Rover Roofing provides free storm-prep roof inspections.
