I-65 Industrial Roofs, Historic Districts & North Warren County Homes
Franklin anchors Simpson County along the Tennessee line, with the Historic Downtown Franklin Square, the Kentucky Downs and Mint Gaming corridor, and the Franklin-Simpson Industrial Park strung along I-65. Just north, the Smiths Grove Historic District and the community of Oakland sit minutes from our Porter Pike headquarters—close enough that north Warren County calls are some of our fastest dispatches.
The industrial facilities along I-65 Exit 2 and Exit 6 are the core of our commercial work here. Aging TPO and exposed-fastener metal roofs on warehouses and manufacturing buildings are prime candidates for restoration coatings: we reinforce seams, fasteners and penetrations, then apply silicone or elastomeric systems that stop leaks and reflect rooftop heat—without shutting down operations for a tear-off.
On the residential side, Simpson County and north Warren County homes get the full range of our services: GAF Timberline HDZ® roof replacements, storm damage documentation, and crawl space encapsulation for the older vented crawl spaces common in Franklin's historic neighborhoods and Smiths Grove's early-century homes, where original sill plates and joists often need repair before sealing.

Franklin & Simpson County questions, answered
Does Freedom Contracting serve Franklin and Simpson County?
Yes. Franklin is about 20 minutes south of our Bowling Green headquarters via I-65 and US-31W, and Smiths Grove and Oakland are only 10 minutes northeast of our shop. Inspections across Simpson County are typically scheduled within a few days, with active leaks prioritized.
Can an industrial metal roof on I-65 be restored instead of replaced?
In many cases, yes. If the existing roof passes core sampling and moisture testing, we reinforce seams, fasteners and penetrations and apply a silicone or elastomeric restoration coating that stops leaks and adds years of service life—often at 40 to 50 percent less than replacement and without shutting down operations. If the roof is saturated or failed, we say so in writing and quote the replacement.
Do older Franklin homes need structural repair before encapsulation?
Many do. Historic Franklin and Smiths Grove homes often have original sill plates and floor joists that have softened from decades of crawl space moisture. Our own carpenters sister joists and replace sill plates before the liner goes in—work that waterproofing-only companies typically refer out.
