Residential Roofing Challenges in Clarksville Neighborhoods
Every neighborhood has different issues. We will walk you through them.
Historic downtown Clarksville. Homes built in the 1800s and early 1900s. Plank decking
(1x6 boards spaced 1/4 inch apart) instead of plywood. Often multiple layers of old shingles
(we have seen four layers). Sometimes cedar shake or tile underneath. We handle all of it. We
replace plank decking with plywood if needed (cost $75 to $150 per sheet). We remove layers
carefully to avoid damaging the rafters.
Wilma Rudolph Blvd corridor. Homes built in the 1970s and 1980s. Original roofs may be 3tab shingles that are now brittle. Decking is often OSB that has swollen at the edges from
moisture. Ventilation is poor (box vents only, no ridge vents). We replace with architectural
shingles and add ridge vents. The ventilation improvement alone extends roof life by 3 to 5
years.
Tiny Town Road and Exit 4 subdivisions. Homes built in the 2000s and 2010s. Fast
construction during the housing boom. Some have cheap 3-tab shingles that are already failing
at 12 to 14 years. Many have inadequate so t ventilation because insulation blocks the air ow
(insulation was blown in without ba es). We fix the ventilation (add ba es, clear so t vents).
We replace with quality architectural shingles (GAF or Owens Corning).
Fort Campbell area homes. Mix of everything. Some base housing (built in the 1990s and
2000s). Some o -base subdivisions. Some rural properties on the Kentucky line. Military
families move often. They need a roofer who works fast and communicates clearly. That is us.
We offer exible scheduling and a military discount.
Rural Montgomery County (Cunningham, Palmyra, Woodlawn). Barns, outbuildings,
farmhouses. Metal roofing is popular for barns (standing seam or corrugated). We install metal
on agricultural buildings. For farmhouses, asphalt shingles are common. We drive to these
areas with no travel fee.
No matter the neighborhood, the process is the same. Free inspection. Written estimate.
Quality installation. Ten-year workmanship warranty.

Will a new roof increase my home value?
Yes. A new roof is one of the top ve home improvements for resale value. Expect 60 to 70 percent return on investment. Plus faster sale and higher offers. In Clarksville's competitive market, a new roof is a major selling point.
Can you match my existing shingles for a repair?
We try. We carry samples of common colors. If your shingles are discontinued (common for roofs over 10 years old), we use the closest match. We show you samples before we install. The color difference may be noticeable, but it is better than a bare spot.
