RECENT PROJECTS / BRENTWOOD, TN
A complete campus roof restoration and detailed copper steeple work—delivered while the church remained in use.
After a severe hailstorm damaged shingles across the Harpeth Hills campus and dented its copper steeple, Underdog Roofing completed a full tear-off and roof replacement, repaired deteriorated decking, and replaced the damaged steeple copper.
The scope called for both large-scale roofing work and specialty metal craftsmanship, with careful coordination around the people using the church.
Property: Church / house of worship
Services: Roof replacement, decking repair, copper steeple restoration
Roofing: Architectural shingles
Scope: 650 squares of roofing
Location: Brentwood, Tennessee
The campus includes multiple wings, steep- and low-slope roof transitions, numerous valleys, and rooftop mechanical equipment. Hail had bruised and fractured shingles throughout the campus, while the steeple copper was damaged beyond repair.
The church needed to remain accessible throughout the work. An active children’s area and adjacent playground added another layer of site coordination, and winter weather—including snow—made daily weather protection essential.
Crews removed the existing steep-slope roofing down to the deck and replaced damaged or deteriorated sheathing where needed.
Ice and water shield was installed in valleys, along eaves, and around penetrations, with synthetic underlayment across the remaining roof field.
New architectural shingles brought the campus rooflines together with a consistent finished appearance.
Underdog replaced the damaged copper on the steeple and the tower’s flared copper skirts. A boom lift provided access for the crew and materials. Over time, the new copper will develop a natural patina.
Crews tarped and dried in roof sections at the end of each day. Walkways and the playground were kept clear, daily magnet sweeps addressed metal debris, and materials and dumpsters were staged away from pedestrian routes.
A closer look at the Harpeth Hills Church of Christ roofing project.
Underdog completed the 65,000-square-foot roof system in one week, with decking repaired where needed and new underlayment and architectural shingles installed. Specialty copper work on the steeple required an additional three weeks.
The finished project combines a consistent roof across the campus with restored copper detailing on the church’s prominent steeple—demonstrating the range of work required for a complex, occupied commercial property.
