Roofing systems we install in Fort Mitchell

- Metal roofing: standing seam and panel systems that last for decades.
- Tile and specialty: for the look and longevity you want.
- Flat and low-slope: for porches, additions and modern homes.
Installed clean, on schedule
A new roof is only as good as the crew that installs it. We prep and protect your property, tear off and dispose of the old roof, repair any bad decking, and build the new system to manufacturer spec. You get a clear timeline up front and a clean site when we leave.
The parts of a roof system
- Decking: the plywood or OSB base everything else is fastened to.
- Underlayment: the water-resistant layer under the shingles, with ice-and-water shield in the high-risk spots.
- Drip edge and flashing at every edge, wall, valley and penetration.
- Starter strip, shingles and ridge cap, nailed to the manufacturer's pattern so the warranty holds.
- Ventilation at the ridge and soffits, sized for the attic.
New construction and additions in Fort Mitchell
For new homes, additions and garages we work from your plans and schedule around the other trades, so the roof is dried in as soon as the framing is ready. On an addition, tying the new roof into the existing one cleanly is where leaks usually start, so we spend extra time on that seam and the flashing around it.
