Roofing in Kentucky

Kentucky sits in the Ohio River Valley, where the spring storms, the winter ice storms, and the humid summers test every roof. The hail and the wind damage the shingles, the ice storms stress the flashing, and the humidity feeds the algae on the shaded slopes. Roofing in Kentucky means building roofs for the storms, the ice, and the humidity — and we do it in 16 cities across the state.

The Roofing Regions of Kentucky

The state splits into several roofing climates, and the roofs need to match each one.

The Northern Kentucky cities — Covington, Florence, Independence, and the Cincinnati suburbs — face the Ohio River weather, the ice storms, and the freeze-thaw cycles.

The Central Kentucky cities — Frankfort, Georgetown, Nicholasville, Richmond, and Jeffersontown — face the hail and the spring storms.

The Western Kentucky cities — Paducah, Owensboro, Henderson, Hopkinsville, and Bowling Green — face the hail, the wind, and the humid summers.

Kentucky Roofing Considerations

The hail is the dominant force across the state. The spring and summer storms drop the hail that bruises the shingle mats and knocks the granules loose. The post-storm inspection and the insurance claim are the standard practice.

The ice storms hit in the winter. The freezing rain coats the roof and the trees, and the ice stresses the flashing and the seals. The freeze-thaw cycles open the gaps that the spring rain finds.

The humid summers feed the algae and the moss on the shaded slopes. The algae-resistant shingles and the regular cleaning extend the roof life.
