Your written scope for a roofing job in Murfreesboro
NOAA Storm Events records list hail reports on 16 distinct days and thunderstorm-wind reports on 32 distinct days in Rutherford County during 2021–2025 (read 2026-10-17). These are county reports, not findings about your roof. Ask the inspection scope to include photographs of penetrations, flashing, lifted coverings and any deck damage; ask the report to distinguish observations from proposed repairs.
- Roof covering, roof area and how many layers come off
- Whether the general rule Murfreesboro's FAQ quoted below sets out applies to your job, and who applies for the permit if it does
- Removal and disposal of the old parts or materials

Roof repair, Murfreesboro
Murfreesboro's permits FAQ (read 24 October 2026): “A building permit does not become invalid unless the work authorized by it has not commenced within six months of its issuance, or if the work is suspended or abandoned for a period of one year after the time the work commenced.” Open Murfreesboro's source FAQ
Roof replacement, Murfreesboro
In Murfreesboro, 55.6% of housing units were built in 2000 or later, with a 90% margin of error of 2.3 percentage points (Census ACS 2020–2024, read 2026-10-17). A house construction year does not establish its current roof age. Supply any reroof records and ask the replacement scope to distinguish removal of the covering from repair of the deck and framing.
Ask how the quote handles damaged decking; housing age is not roof age.
For extreme hail, NOAA says: “Extreme Hail: Roof damage possible to homes.” These report counts do not establish that impact level at your home. Ask the quote to name the wind and impact ratings of the covering it prices.
Median hourly wage for Roofers in the Nashville-Davidson--Murfreesboro--Franklin, TN area, May 2025: $23.14 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics).

How is InstaBids different?
Each bidder appears under a stable label such as Contractor A, so you judge the work, not the brand.
