Cumberland County sits on top of the Cumberland Plateau, and about 66,000 people live here, in Crossville, Fairfield Glade, Lake Tansi and the surrounding countryside. Roofs up here face more open-ground wind than those in the valleys below, and the NOAA storm record shows it. An EF-2 tornado crossed northern Cumberland County in February 2012, destroying a brick home at Rinnie; EF-1 tornadoes damaged homes near Crossville in October 2021 and June 2023; and another EF-1 caused damage near New Era in May 2025. The Cumberland County Codes Department handles construction outside city limits, Crossville and Pleasant Hill enforce their own codes, and Crab Orchard has opted out of state residential codes. We have completed a roof replacement in Crossville. We inspect first, document what we see with photos, and give you a written estimate before any work begins.
