FAQs
What roofing materials do you recommend for Louisville’s climate?
Louisville experiences hot, humid summers, freeze-thaw cycles in winter, and frequent spring storms. We typically recommend impact-rated architectural asphalt shingles or Class 4 SBS-modified shingles for most homes because they handle hail and thermal expansion well while remaining budget-friendly. For owners seeking maximum longevity, standing-seam metal or synthetic slate can last 40–70 years and shed snow and water quickly. During your onsite inspection, we discuss your budget, aesthetic goals, and HOA requirements before presenting written options with life-cycle cost comparisons.
How often should gutters be replaced in Louisville?
Aluminum K-style gutters generally last 20–25 years in our region, but premature failure is common if they were improperly pitched, clogged by maple spinners, or damaged by ice dams and wind-blown debris. We recommend an annual spring and fall cleaning plus a professional inspection every three years. If you notice sagging sections, peeling paint under the eaves, or water pooling around the foundation, it may be time for replacement. Our team installs seamless 5" and 6" aluminum or copper gutters with hidden hangers and oversized downspouts to handle Louisville’s intense cloudbursts.
Are you licensed, insured, and certified to work in Kentucky?
Yes. We hold a Jefferson County–issued Roofing Contractor Registration, carry $2 million in general liability insurance, and maintain full workers’ compensation coverage. Our installers are certified by GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed, allowing us to offer enhanced manufacturer warranties that non-certified contractors cannot provide. Certificates of insurance and licenses are supplied with every proposal for your peace of mind.
What is the typical timeline and process for a roof replacement?
Most residential roof replacements in Louisville take 1–2 days, weather permitting. Day 1: We protect landscaping, remove existing shingles down to the deck, inspect decking for rot, and install ice-and-water barrier along eaves and valleys (per Kentucky Residential Code). Day 2: Shingles, vents, flashing, and ridge caps are installed, followed by magnetic nail cleanup. For larger or complex roofs, an extra day may be required. Gutter replacement can usually be completed the same week. You receive daily progress updates and a final walkthrough before invoicing.
Can you assist with insurance claims for hail or wind damage?
Absolutely. We provide free storm inspections using drone imagery and chalk testing to document damage. Our Haag-certified inspector meets with your adjuster on-site, supplying photographs and a detailed Xactimate estimate to ensure all code-required items—such as ice-and-water shield and drip edge—are included. Once the claim is approved, we complete the roof and gutter work for the agreed scope and handle all supplemental paperwork, so you only pay your deductible.
Do you offer warranties or financing options for roof and gutter replacements?
Every roof comes with a 10-year workmanship warranty in writing. Because we’re GAF Master Elite and Owens Corning Preferred Contractors, we can register 25- to 50-year non-prorated manufacturer warranties that cover material and labor. Seamless aluminum gutters include a 20-year finish warranty. For budgeting convenience, we partner with Service Finance Company to offer 0% APR for 12 months or low-interest plans up to 120 months, subject to credit approval. We’ll walk you through the application during your consultation.
