Trusted Roofing Franklin today announced the launch of “Weatherproofing 101,” a new homeowner tips series designed to help Franklin residents safeguard their homes against the region’s harsh weather conditions. From heavy rain and high winds to intense summer heat , Middle Tennessee’s climate presents numerous challenges for residential roofs. The first installment of the series, titled “Wind, Rain, and Heat Defense,” offers expert guidance on how to fortify roofs against these elements and keep families safe through every season.

Franklin’s Climate: Wind, Rain, and Heat Threats

Franklin, located in Williamson County, experiences approximately 50 inches of rainfall each year – significantly above the U.S. average. These frequent downpours can exploit any weakness in a roof’s defenses, leading to leaks or water damage over time. Severe thunderstorms – like one in May 2025 that pelted the Franklin area with baseball-sized hail – often bring high winds capable of ripping shingles off roofs and mangling gutters. Middle Tennessee’s summers add another layer of risk: temperatures regularly soar into the 90s °F, with heat waves that can make roofing materials brittle or cause them to warp. This combination of heavy rain, storm winds, and extreme heat (and even the occasional tornado in our region ) means local homeowners must be vigilant about weatherproofing to protect their property and safety.

“Weatherproofing 101”

– Key Tips for Roof Safety

The new Weatherproofing 101 series translates Trusted Roofing Franklin’s on-the-ground expertise into practical advice that any homeowner can use. In the inaugural blog post, “Wind, Rain, and Heat Defense,” the company’s specialists outline how to strengthen a roof’s resilience against each major threat while emphasizing preventative safety measures. Key focus areas include:

Wind: High winds can cause serious roof damage, from ripped-off shingles to structural issues due to debris. Homeowners are advised to inspect for loose or damaged shingles and to invest in storm-rated materials so the roof can withstand strong gusts during severe weather.
Rain: Heavy rainfall can infiltrate a roof’s vulnerable points, leading to leaks and water damage if not addressed. Using waterproof membranes and durable sealants as a first line of defense helps keep moisture out, while maintaining gutters and flashing ensures rain is channeled away from the home safely.
Heat: Intense heat and UV exposure can make shingles brittle or warp other roofing materials. Proper attic ventilation and heat-reflective roofing options can reduce heat buildup and prevent the deterioration that long summer temperatures can cause.

Each tip in the series highlights proactive steps that can be taken before problems arise – a theme that aligns with the company’s focus on safety and prevention.
