FAQs
What does “nationally certified craftsmanship” mean for your Louisville roofing project?
Nationally certified craftsmanship indicates that our roofing crews have passed rigorous training and performance evaluations administered by industry-recognized organizations such as the NRCA (National Roofing Contractors Association) and the manufacturers whose systems we install (e.g., GAF Master Elite®, CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster™). These certifications verify that we follow the highest installation standards, use manufacturer-approved techniques, and stay current with code changes and best practices. For homeowners, this translates into a roof that is installed correctly the first time, qualifies for extended manufacturer warranties, and is likely to last longer in Louisville’s humid subtropical climate.
Are you fully licensed and insured to work on roofs in Kentucky?
Yes. We hold an active Kentucky state contractor license, maintain Louisville/Jefferson County permits as required, and carry $2 million in general liability insurance plus full workers’ compensation coverage for every crew member. Proof of all policies is available upon request. Working with a properly licensed and insured roofer protects you from liability if an accident occurs and ensures all work meets state and local building codes.
What roofing materials and systems do you specialize in?
Our nationally certified teams install and repair a wide range of roofing systems common in the Louisville area: • Architectural & designer asphalt shingles • Standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal roofing • Flat roofing (TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen) • Cedar shake and composite shake alternatives • Specialty impact-resistant and cool-roof shingles We are factory-certified by top manufacturers, allowing us to offer their highest tier warranties. During the consultation we explain the pros, cons, and life-cycle costs of each option so you can choose a roof that fits your budget, aesthetic, and energy goals.
How long does a typical roof replacement take in Louisville’s climate?
Most single-family asphalt shingle replacements are completed in one to two days, while metal or complex steep-slope systems can take three to five days. Flat commercial roofs vary from several days to a few weeks depending on size. Weather is the biggest variable: Louisville’s spring storms and summer humidity may require us to pause for safety and quality. We monitor forecasts closely, tarp exposed decking if showers approach, and never remove more roof than we can dry-in the same day.
What warranties and workmanship guarantees do you provide?
Because of our national certifications, we can register enhanced manufacturer warranties that extend material defect coverage up to 50 years and include prorated labor costs. In addition, we back our workmanship with a 10-year transferable labor warranty—double Kentucky’s standard requirement. If any leak or installation-related issue arises within that period, we repair it at no cost. Annual maintenance plans are also available to keep your warranty in force and maximize roof life.
How do I schedule an inspection and obtain a detailed estimate?
Simply call our office or submit the web form with your preferred appointment window. A certified roof specialist will arrive on time, perform a 30-to-45-minute inspection (including attic ventilation and moisture check), take photos, and discuss your goals. Within 24 hours you’ll receive a digital report and itemized estimate. We never charge for estimates, and there’s no obligation. If insurance is involved, we’ll meet your adjuster on site to ensure all storm damage is documented properly.
