Roof Replacement
After tear-off, we always check decking and replace what's needed. Soft spots mean moisture intrusion. The old roof was leaking longer than you realized. We use 7/16" or 15/32" CDX plywood depending on rafter spacing. New decking costs $75-$120 per sheet installed. We only replace what's actually damaged.

Roof Repair
Improper step flashing is the leading cause of roof leaks at wall-to-roof transitions. Step flashing needs to be woven between shingle courses with each piece extending 4" above the shingle exposure. We see Ghent homes where the last roofer used continuous L-flashing or just caulked the gap. That always fails. We tear it out and install proper step flashing with a kick-out diverter at the bottom per IRC R905.2.8.3.

Storm Damage Repair
HAAG Certified Inspectors on staff for every storm damage assessment. We document per HAAG residential guidelines: hail hit density per test square, severity classification, functional vs. cosmetic damage distinction. Insurance adjusters trust HAAG methodology because it's the industry standard. Our supplementation process references FM 4473 hail ratings and manufacturer impact resistance specs when fighting for full replacement approval.

Metal Roofing
Metal roofing reflects solar heat instead of absorbing it. In Kentucky, that means 15-25% lower cooling costs compared to dark asphalt shingles. The higher upfront cost pays for itself over the life of the roof. And the life of a metal roof is twice or three times longer than shingles.

Shingle Roofing
Shingle color matters more than you think. Dark shingles absorb heat. Great for cold Kentucky winters, harder on cooling bills in summer. Lighter colors reflect heat. Algae-resistant granules prevent black streaking. We bring shingle samples to your Ghent home so you can see them against your siding and trim.

Flat Roofing
TPO single-ply membrane in 60-mil or 80-mil thickness, fully adhered or mechanically attached over minimum R-25 polyiso insulation. Hot-air welded seams tested with a probe at every joint. We install per NRCA and manufacturer specifications with tapered ISO insulation creating minimum 1/4" per foot positive drainage. Ponding water is the number one cause of flat roof failure in Ghent. Tapered insulation eliminates it. FM 4473 rated systems available for hail-prone areas. Fully warranted by Carlisle, Firestone, or GAF.

Commercial Roofing
Need a commercial roof coating? Silicone coatings over existing TPO, EPDM, or metal extend life 10-15 years for a third of replacement cost. Not every roof qualifies. The existing membrane needs to be in decent shape. We core sample and moisture scan to verify before we recommend it.

Emergency Roof Repair
After we secure the tarp and stop the leak, we photograph and document everything while the damage is fresh. This documentation is critical for insurance claims. Adjusters want to see the damage before any repairs are made.

Skylight Installation
Tubular skylights work where standard skylights can't. Interior bathrooms, hallways, closets. A reflective tube runs through the attic from a small rooftop dome to a ceiling diffuser. Brings in surprisingly good natural light. We install them in 2-3 hours.
