Signs you need it
- Ponding water after rain on a flat roof
- Open seams or failed flashing at rooftop units and parapets
- Ceiling stains below drains, units or roof edges
- A roof near the end of its warranty, with a lease or sale coming up
Wind gusts of 58 mph or more were recorded on 87 days near Franklin, higher than 88% of the cities we cover. 29 local roofers are listed, 4 license-checked.
Commercial roofing covers retail, office, warehouse, church and multi-family buildings. Most of these roofs are flat or low-slope and use single-ply membranes, modified bitumen, built-up roofing or standing seam metal.
Crews, materials and warranties differ from house roofing. A company that is good on shingles may not be the right one for a membrane roof.
Wind gusts of 58 mph or more are recorded near Franklin on more days than in most cities we cover. On a membrane roof, ask how edges and parapets are anchored, because wind starts at the perimeter.
The county has more roofing companies with payroll than most cities we cover, so you can compare several bids on a commercial job. Ask each for references on a building like yours.

May has the most reports, 49 of 105. 91% of reports fall from March to July; the other 9 come in 6 other months.
The largest stone in NOAA's record for Williamson County fell on May 20, 2025: 3 inches, about the size of a teacup.
That day brought 25 reports, with the largest from Douglas.
A commercial roof laid before May 2025 was in place for the largest stone in the record, so ask for a roof survey and keep it with the warranty papers.

The strongest thunderstorm gust was 85 mph, on June 19, 2019.

A commercial roof is priced by the building: its area, membrane, insulation, drainage and rooftop equipment. One range per city would mislead.
Ask each company for a written scope and a price per square foot of roof, so bids can be compared line by line.
Estimates for a 2,000 square foot roof, not quotes. How we build them6 of 29 listed, license-checked first. They are based in Franklin (6). We do not tag companies by service, so ask each one about commercial roofing.
