Short answer: As of September 2026, the five highest-scoring roofing contractors in the Clarksville, TN-KY metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score are Integrity Roofing & Exteriors (84.7), POWCO LLC (72.4), Summit Roofing and Restoration Inc (72.2), Heisman Roofing & Construction LLC (71.3), Michael Vance Contracting LLC (54.7). All of them carry a verifiable manufacturer certification, every rating here was cross-checked against an independent record, and no money changed hands for any placement.
The Roofing Brief scored 6 certified roofing contractors serving the Clarksville metro on a published, reproducible formula, then researched each of the top five individually to confirm its record. Clarksville has a licensing gap that almost no other metro on this site shares. Tennessee requires a state contractor licence only at $25,000 or more, and its separate Home Improvement licence, which covers roofing from $3,000 upward, applies in just nine counties. Montgomery County is not one of them. So a Clarksville re-roof priced under $25,000, which is most of them, needs no state licence of any kind. Put that next to a metro where Fort Campbell drives 48.9 percent of city housing into rental and roughly a quarter of school pupils are military dependants, and where an EF-3 tornado tore a 47.75 mile path through Montgomery County on 9 December 2023, and the case for checking a contractor yourself is about as strong as it gets.
What a Clarksville roof is up against
This is a tornado and wind metro, not a hail metro. Across 2016 to 2025 the counties logged 67 hail reports, only 44 of them an inch or larger, against 272 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and 47 tornado events, with $50.9 million in reported property damage. Counting severe-weather reports of every kind together, May leads with 102, then July with 54 and March with 53. The defining event is recent and severe: NWS Nashville’s survey of the 9 December 2023 outbreak records seven tornadoes across Middle Tennessee, of which the Montgomery County and Clarksville tornado was the strongest, rated EF-3 with peak winds of 150 mph, a path 47.75 miles long and up to 600 yards wide. Three people died in Montgomery County and 62 were injured, and 114 homes were destroyed. The largest hail on the local record is a pair of 3.00 inch reports on 8 May 2024, at Clarksville itself and at Bumpus Mills.
The December 2021 outbreak also reached this metro, though not in the form most people remember. The Mayfield EF-4 was a different tornado. NWS Paducah’s survey records a separate long-track EF-3 with peak winds of 160 mph and a path of 122.7 miles that began in Dyer County, Tennessee, and produced EF-2 damage in Stewart County, Tennessee, and in Christian County, Kentucky, both inside this metro. Two EF-3 parent storms inside two years, with EF-2 and EF-3 damage on the ground locally, is a wind record that should shape how a roof is fastened here rather than merely which shingle goes on it. Ask about the nailing pattern, the edge metal and how the deck is attached to the framing, because those decide outcomes at these wind speeds.
The licensing position is the sharpest thing on this page, so here it is precisely. Tennessee’s Board for Licensing Contractors requires a state contractor licence for construction, remodelling or repair work totalling $25,000 or more, and for roofing that threshold applies to the roofing subcontractor’s portion as well as to a prime contract. The classification that matters is BC-21 Roofing, defined in the board’s own classification outline as roofing over $25,000 including gutters and vinyl siding; a contractor holding a broader Building Construction licence is also covered. Separately, Tennessee operates a Home Improvement licence for residential work from $3,000 to $24,999, with roofing explicitly among the covered improvements, but it applies in only nine counties: Bradley, Davidson, Hamilton, Haywood, Knox, Marion, Robertson, Rutherford and Shelby. Montgomery County is absent from that list. The practical result is a gap: below $25,000 a Clarksville roofer needs no state licence at all, and the credential you are left checking is the manufacturer certification and the insurance certificate. Note the corollary, which cuts the other way for one firm below: Robertson County, where the fourth-ranked contractor is based, is on the Home Improvement list even though Montgomery County is not.
Fort Campbell explains the housing. The post covers 105,000 acres straddling the Tennessee and Kentucky line, with nearly two-thirds of that acreage in Tennessee, and supports a community of over 241,910 people including 30,113 active-duty personnel and about 51,480 family members, with 4,557 family housing units on post. Roughly 9,590 of the 39,237 pupils in Clarksville-Montgomery County schools are military dependants, about 24 percent. Of the 72,910 occupied housing units in Clarksville, 35,678 are renter-occupied, a 48.9 percent share. A market where nearly half the housing is rented and tenants rotate on posting cycles is one where a great many roofs are bought by somebody who will not live under them. The housing itself is unusually new: the median year built in Montgomery County is 2000, so most roofs here are on their first or second covering rather than their third. Montgomery County adopted the 2018 International Residential Code under Resolution 20-10-6 and charges residential permits at $0.38 per square foot, with no separate roofing line item in its schedule.

Integrity Roofing & Exteriors is based in Clarksville, TN, in business since 2007, led by Terry Gwaltney, CEO; Josh Gwaltney, CFO, BBB accredited since 13 April 2021, A+ rating; founded 2007, zero complaints closed in the last three years, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.
Certifications held: Master Elite (GAF), Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce member. Certification by more than one manufacturer is uncommon and requires meeting each programme’s separate standards for insurance, training and track record.

What they actually do. Roof installation, re-roofing and repair, roof rejuvenation, storm damage work, roof inspections, gutters and insurance claim assistance across Tennessee and Kentucky.
Why it ranks here. The clear leader and the only contractor here with both a deep customer record and a genuinely local base: 4.9 across 488 reviews, which is more than the other four ranked below it combined, Master Elite certification, eighteen years of trading, and an address in Clarksville confirmed independently by both the BBB and the chamber. It is family-owned with three generations currently working in it, and carries no complaints closed with the BBB in three years.
Best fit for: The default first call in Montgomery County, and the strongest record for a tornado or wind claim.
What we would want clarified. In a county where no state licence is required below $25,000, it publishes no licence number, and we could not verify a Tennessee licence for it or for any contractor on this page because the state’s lookup could not be queried. Its BBB profile is filed under gutters rather than roofing contractors. Ask for the licence number and the insurance certificate directly. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.
Verify the certification yourself on the GAF registry listing. The number carried on that listing is (931) 614-7477, which is the registry’s contact line and is often a directory tracking number rather than the contractor’s own: take the number from the company’s own website and compare the two.
2. POWCO LLC — TRB Score 72.4
POWCO LLC is based in Clarksville, TN, led by Johnny Woodard, General Manager, BBB accredited since 22 April 2026, A+ rating; business start date 19 April 2023, zero complaints closed in the last three years, and holds Certified standing on the GAF certification registry.
Certifications held: Certified (GAF), 2025 Best of Clarksville Awards, Best Water Restoration Company. Certification by more than one manufacturer is uncommon and requires meeting each programme’s separate standards for insurance, training and track record.

- GAF lists POWCO LLC of Clarksville, TN in its residential contractor directory.. GAF contractor directory
What they actually do. Roof repair and replacement and roof inspections alongside water, fire and storm damage restoration, mould remediation, structural rebuilds and general contracting.
Why it ranks here. A clean 5.0 across 155 reviews and the second of only two firms on this page actually based in Clarksville. Its real advantage is scope: it is a restoration and mitigation business as much as a roofer, covering water, fire, storm and mould damage and structural rebuilds. In a metro whose defining events are two EF-3 tornado seasons, a contractor who can take a house from water mitigation through structural rebuild to a new roof is a different proposition from a roofing-only firm.
Best fit for: Storm damage that went past the roof into the structure or let water inside.
What we would want clarified. It is much the youngest firm ranked here, with a BBB business start date of 19 April 2023 and accreditation only from April 2026, and it publishes no founding year of its own. It holds base-tier GAF Certified status rather than Master Elite. Roofing is one line in a broad restoration business, so ask specifically who does the roofing and whether the crew is employed or subcontracted. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

Summit Roofing and Restoration Inc is based in Dickson, TN, in business since 2017, BBB accredited effective 15 April 2025, A+ rating; business start date 8 May 2017, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.

What they actually do. Residential roof replacement, commercial roofing, roof repair, storm and insurance claim work, gutter installation and 24/7 emergency repair.
Why it ranks here. Master Elite certification with 4.9 across 133 reviews, and the only out-of-metro firm on this page that names Montgomery County explicitly and tells you how it will be handled. Its Clarksville page states that if you are in Clarksville or anywhere in Montgomery County, calls and scheduling go through its Dickson office line, which is a named routing rather than a generic regional claim. It also publishes 24/7 emergency repair, which matters in a metro that has twice had housing destroyed in December tornado outbreaks.
Best fit for: An emergency call-out, and homeowners who want a published, specific commitment to covering Montgomery County.
What we would want clarified. It is based outside the metro and its corporate geography is confusing: the Dickson office at 1201 US-70E is the address on its BBB profile and chamber listing, but the company describes itself as headquartered in Atoka, Tennessee, which is near Memphis and roughly 200 miles away. Its BBB accreditation is recent, from April 2025, and it publishes no owner name and no manufacturer credential outside GAF.

What they actually do. Residential roof replacement, commercial and metal roofing, asphalt, seamless gutters, siding, window replacement, storm and insurance claim work, and kitchen and bath remodelling, from four offices.
Why it ranks here. Master Elite with 4.8 across 128 reviews, twelve years of trading and BBB accreditation since 2018, and the only contractor on this page holding a non-GAF manufacturer credential, as a certified Brava Roof Tile installer, which is the relevant credential if you want a composite tile roof rather than asphalt. There is also a licensing point in its favour: it is based in Robertson County, which unlike Montgomery County does fall under Tennessee’s Home Improvement licence regime for residential work between $3,000 and $24,999, so it operates in a jurisdiction where smaller jobs are licensed.
Best fit for: Composite tile or metal roofing, and homeowners who want a firm accustomed to a licensed jurisdiction.
What we would want clarified. Confirm it will come to you before anything else. It does not name Clarksville or Montgomery County anywhere in its own published service area: its site defines the area as Springfield and a 100 mile radius, which covers Clarksville geometrically, but its Middle Tennessee page names only Hendersonville, Springfield and Robertson County, and Clarksville appears only in third-party directories. It runs four offices across two states, and its BBB address of record is in Hendersonville rather than the Springfield address on its own site. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

What they actually do. Residential and commercial roofing, siding, gutters, new construction and custom homes, remodelling and additions, and fire, water and storm restoration.
Why it ranks here. The only contractor on this page based on the Kentucky side of the metro, in Hopkinsville in Christian County, which is genuinely inside the Clarksville statistical area rather than outside it. Twenty years of trading on the BBB record, an A+ rating, membership of the Christian County Chamber and certification by the Hopkinsville home builders association. Kentucky issues no state roofing or general contractor licence, so a local chamber and builders association record is a larger part of the available evidence there than it would be elsewhere.
Best fit for: Homeowners on the Kentucky side of the metro, around Hopkinsville and Oak Grove.
What we would want clarified. It carries the weakest numbers on this page, 4.6 across 33 reviews, and its BBB profile is not accredited despite the A+ rating and is filed under general contractor rather than roofing. It publishes no founding year and records disagree, with the BBB giving 2005 against 1995 elsewhere. Its own site describes work in western Kentucky and parts of Tennessee without naming Clarksville or Montgomery County. A cached BBB record showing a lower rating and an unanswered complaint surfaced during research; the live profile shows A+ and no complaints, and we could not reconcile the two, so check the profile yourself before engaging them.

The 44 hail reports behind a Clarksville roof
Aggregate hail counts tell you very little about a specific roof. These are the individual events: every severe-weather report logged by the National Weather Service across the 4 counties of the Clarksville, TN-KY statistical area over ten years, with the dates, the stone sizes and the towns they landed on. Over that decade the metro logged 67 hail reports, 272 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and 47 tornadoes. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $50.9 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
The biggest hail to fall on Clarksville in a decade
| Date | Stone size | Reported near | County |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 May 2024 | 3.0 in | Clarksville | Montgomery |
| 8 May 2024 | 3.0 in | Bumpus Mills | Stewart |
| 10 May 2016 | 2.5 in | Cerulean | Trigg |
| 8 May 2024 | 2.0 in | Clarksville | Montgomery |
| 27 May 2017 | 1.85 in | Cerulean | Trigg |
| 7 February 2017 | 1.75 in | Rockcastle | Trigg |
The largest stone on record for this metro fell on 8 May 2024 near Clarksville, measured at 3.0 inches. That is baseball sized, comfortably past the point where a roof is written off rather than repaired.
Wind. The strongest thunderstorm gust logged in the metro was 87 knots, about 100 mph, near Gainsville on 11 January 2020. Asphalt shingles begin lifting at roughly 67 mph when they are correctly nailed, and considerably below that when they are not.
Tornadoes. 47 tornadoes touched down in these counties over the decade, the strongest rated EF3 near Woodlawn on 9 December 2023.
What the National Weather Service wrote about it
The NWS logs a written account of each severe-weather episode. This is its description of the 11 January 2020 event near Gainsville, reproduced verbatim:
A destructive downburst containing peak winds of 100 mph occurred on the north side of Hopkinsville, including parts of the downtown area. Approximately 125 homes had some damage. Most had roof, soffit, or siding damage. The roof of a high school was damaged. At least one home had a tree fall on it and severely damaged it. Hundreds of trees were uprooted or snapped. Significant damage occurred at Ruff Park, where ballfields sustained damage and at least one power pole was snapped. Adjacent to the downtown area, much of the roof was blown off an old elementary school on Second Street, and the Salvation Army office building was damaged. Near the end of the damage area, numerous trees were…
That is the kind of damage a roof in this metro has to be specified against, described by the agency that recorded it rather than by a contractor selling the repair.
When it happens. Severe weather reports cluster in May (102), July (54), March (53). The worst years on record were 2016 (56), 2017 (47), 2025 (41). If you are scheduling non-urgent work in Clarksville, the months outside that window are when crews are least stretched and least likely to be triaging emergency callouts ahead of your job.
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database, county-level detail files 2016 to 2025, filtered to the counties of this statistical area by The Roofing Brief. Damage figures are as reported to the NWS and undercount insured losses.
What to do with this. Hail is not the governing risk in Clarksville. Weight your decision toward wind rating, ventilation and flashing detail rather than paying extra for impact-rated shingles.
Three things to confirm before work starts in Clarksville
Licensing is required in TN. Tennessee requires roofing contractors to be licensed by the Board for Licensing Contractors within the Department of Commerce and Insurance. Since 1 January 2014 roofing subcontractors have required a licence at any contract value, with no monetary threshold below which they may operate unlicensed.
Projects of $25,000 or more require a state Contractor licence with the BC-21 classification, which covers roofing, gutters and vinyl siding. Residential projects between $3,000 and $25,000 require a Home Improvement licence. Applicants must pass both a trade exam and a business and law exam, administered by PSI.
Check here: Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors. Check the classification, not just the licence. A Home Improvement licence does not authorise a $25,000-plus replacement, which describes many full re-roofs.
Four checks to run before you sign anything, in any state.
- Verify certification at the source. Use the GAF verification tool rather than trusting a badge image on a company website.
- Get the certificate of insurance from the insurer, not the contractor, and confirm general liability and workers compensation are both active on the day work starts.
- Confirm who pulls the permit. If a contractor asks you to pull it as the homeowner, that moves liability onto you. Decline.
- Get warranty terms in writing before any deposit, and check the manufacturer warranty being promised actually requires the certification tier the contractor holds.
How deep the Clarksville certified market really is
6 certified roofing contractors serve the principal cities of the Clarksville, TN-KY statistical area, of which 0 hold the top President’s Club tier. The pool carries 960 customer reviews between them at a mean rating of 4.814. The statistical area had a 2024 population of 345,955, a change of 7.93% against the 2020 census base, per the U.S. Census Bureau Vintage 2024 estimates.
How these Clarksville rankings were produced
Every contractor in the Clarksville, TN-KY pool was scored out of 100 on four published components: certification tier, a Bayesian adjusted rating, review depth and distance from the metro centre. In this metro that meant scoring 6 certified contractors, of whom 0 hold President’s Club standing and 3 Master Elite, against a metro mean rating of 4.814. The top five were then researched individually against Better Business Bureau records, state licence registers and manufacturer directories. Good and bad findings are published together, and no contractor paid for a place here.
Set aside in Clarksville. A contractor that would otherwise have scored into the top five was removed for the reason stated. The score is computed from public data, but where the research pass finds evidence undermining an input to that score, the score is set aside.
- CountryLand Roofing, which scored 61.6: scored fifth on 4.9 across 213 reviews with BBB accreditation at A+ since 2017, and there is nothing adverse on its record. It is excluded because Clarksville is not in its published service area. Its own areas-we-serve page names thirteen places, Dickson, Charlotte, White Bluff, Waverly, McEwen, Camden, Nashville, Franklin, Spring Hill, Brentwood, Thompson’s Station, Columbia and Ashland City, alongside a generic reference to Middle Tennessee, and names neither Clarksville nor Montgomery County. It works from Dickson, in Dickson County, outside this metro. A firm that does not say it covers your county should not be recommended to you as a local roofer, and its record elsewhere is good enough that this should be read as a geography finding and nothing more

Clarksville roofing questions, answered
Who is the best roofer in Clarksville, TN?
Integrity Roofing & Exteriors of Clarksville, TN scores highest in the Clarksville metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score, at 84.7 out of 100 as of September 2026. It holds Master Elite certification with a 4.9 rating across 488 reviews. Highest-scoring is not the same as best fit for your specific job, and the four companies behind it score within 30.0 points.
How many certified roofing contractors serve Clarksville?
6 contractors on the GAF certification registry serve the principal cities of the Clarksville, TN-KY statistical area as of September 2026, of which 0 hold President’s Club status.
How much damaging hail does Clarksville get?
The Clarksville, TN-KY statistical area recorded 44 hail reports of 1 inch or larger and 4 of 2 inches or larger between 2016 and 2025 in the NOAA Storm Events Database. The largest hailstone reported measured 3.0 inches.
Did any contractor pay to appear on this list?
No. The Roofing Brief takes no placement fees, no lead fees and no affiliate commission from any roofing contractor. Ranking comes entirely from the published formula applied to public registry data, followed by an individual research pass on the top five.
What was the worst hailstorm in Clarksville in the last ten years?
The largest hailstone logged by the National Weather Service in the Clarksville, TN-KY statistical area between 2016 and 2025 measured 3.0 inches, reported near Clarksville on 8 May 2024. That is baseball sized, comfortably past the point where a roof is written off rather than repaired. Across the decade the metro recorded 67 hail reports. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $50.9 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
When is the worst time of year for roof damage in Clarksville?
Severe-weather reports in the Clarksville, TN-KY statistical area cluster in May, July, March, on the NOAA record for 2016 to 2025. Scheduling discretionary work away from that window tends to get you a better crew and a faster start, because nobody is juggling emergency callouts.
Do roofers need a licence in TN?
Tennessee requires roofing contractors to be licensed by the Board for Licensing Contractors within the Department of Commerce and Insurance. Since 1 January 2014 roofing subcontractors have required a licence at any contract value, with no monetary threshold below which they may operate unlicensed. Projects of $25,000 or more require a state Contractor licence with the BC-21 classification, which covers roofing, gutters and vinyl siding. Residential projects between $3,000 and $25,000 require a Home Improvement licence. Applicants must pass both a trade exam and a business and law exam, administered by PSI.
What should I check before hiring a roofer in Clarksville?
Check the classification, not just the licence. A Home Improvement licence does not authorise a $25,000-plus replacement, which describes many full re-roofs.
Is Clarksville a hard market to find a good roofer in?
Clarksville has a licensing gap that almost no other metro on this site shares. Tennessee requires a state contractor licence only at $25,000 or more, and its separate Home Improvement licence, which covers roofing from $3,000 upward, applies in just nine counties. Montgomery County is not one of them. So a Clarksville re-roof priced under $25,000, which is most of them, needs no state licence of any kind. Put that next to a metro where Fort Campbell drives 48.9 percent of city housing into rental and roughly a quarter of school pupils are military dependants, and where an EF-3 tornado tore a 47.75 mile path through Montgomery County on 9 December 2023, and the case for checking a contractor yourself is about as strong as it gets.
Is wind or hail the bigger risk to a roof in Clarksville?
Wind, by a wide margin. The Clarksville, TN-KY statistical area logged 272 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports against 44 hail reports of an inch or more between 2016 and 2025. Wind damage shows up at the rake, ridge and edge rather than across the field of the roof, so the fastening schedule and edge detail matter more here than the impact rating of the shingle.
Why is CountryLand Roofing not on this list?
Scored fifth on 4.9 across 213 reviews with BBB accreditation at A+ since 2017, and there is nothing adverse on its record. It is excluded because Clarksville is not in its published service area. Its own areas-we-serve page names thirteen places, Dickson, Charlotte, White Bluff, Waverly, McEwen, Camden, Nashville, Franklin, Spring Hill, Brentwood, Thompson’s Station, Columbia and Ashland City, alongside a generic reference to Middle Tennessee, and names neither Clarksville nor Montgomery County. It works from Dickson, in Dickson County, outside this metro. A firm that does not say it covers your county should not be recommended to you as a local roofer, and its record elsewhere is good enough that this should be read as a geography finding and nothing more.
