Columbia and Maury County are booming. The population jumped from 108,000 to over 110,000 in a single year, making Maury County the number one fastest-growing county in Tennessee. New subdivisions are going up south of town, historic homes in the Athenaeum District and around the Square are being renovated, and the whole corridor between Columbia and Spring Hill is filling in fast. But growth does not mean your roof is safe. The EF-3 tornado that hit east of Columbia along the Duck River on May 8, 2024 — with 140 mph winds — killed one person, injured twelve, and damaged 245 homes. That is not ancient history. That was last year. When you need a roofing contractor in Columbia who gives you a straight answer and a fair price, call (931) 293-1786. Live calls Mon–Sat, 7 AM–8 PM CT.

Why Columbia Homes Need Expert Roofing
The May 2024 EF-3 tornado was the most destructive storm to hit Maury County in recent memory. With peak winds of 140 mph, a 12.5-mile path, and a width of 900 yards, it destroyed 40 homes outright and damaged over 200 more along Blackburn Road, Lasea Road, and the Duck River corridor. A large transmission power truss collapsed. A doublewide mobile home was swept away entirely. Maury County secured a federal disaster declaration for public assistance to fund debris removal and infrastructure repair.
Then in March 2025, more storms rolled through — blowing a home on Rippey Lake Road partially apart.
What this means for your roof:
- New construction quality varies. With Columbia growing this fast, not every builder is cutting corners, but not every builder is doing it right either. We see new homes with improperly installed ridge vents, missing kick-out flashing, and underlayment that was not lapped correctly. If your home was built in the last five years, it is worth having an independent roofer verify the install.
- Historic homes need specialized care. The antebellum mansions along the Athenaeum District, the Victorian-era homes near Rally Hill, and the Federal-style buildings in the Commercial Historic District (National Register since 1984) often have complex roof geometries, original slate or standing seam, and structural considerations that generic roofers botch. We have experience with these older structures.
- EF-3 wind loads demand better materials. After watching what 140 mph winds did along the Duck River, more Columbia homeowners are specifying standing seam metal or impact-rated architectural shingles. Standard three-tab is not adequate for this area.
