Re-roof permits in Murfreesboro

Murfreesboro's Building and Codes department says a permit is required to construct, alter, repair or enlarge any building or part of one, and exempts only normal maintenance, which it says includes minor repairs to roofing. It does not name a full re-roof either way, so treat a replacement as permit work until the department says otherwise.

What a replacement costs

Published figures for the same Tennessee city differ by more than double, because they assume different roof sizes. One national estimator prices a Nashville shingle roof at $6,509 to $8,290 for 1,282 square feet; a Nashville roofing company says most homes there run $20,000 to $30,000. Both work out to roughly $5 to $7 a square foot for architectural shingles.
