Roof Replacement
We replace roofs. It's what we do more than anything else. Our Mcdowell crews average 15-20 complete tear-off and replacements per month. That kind of volume means we've seen every situation: steep pitches, multiple layers, rotted decking, improper ventilation from the last guy. We fix all of it and install a roof system that's warranted for decades.

Roof Repair
Missing shingles from wind damage expose the underlayment to UV degradation. If the underlayment is compromised, water intrusion follows the next rain. We don't just replace the missing shingle. We pull back surrounding courses, inspect the underlayment for UV damage and nail holes, replace compromised sections, and weave new CertainTeed Landmark or IKO Cambridge shingles into the existing field. Proper repair, not a patch.

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.

New Roof Installation
New construction roofing in Mcdowell starts with getting the design details right before materials arrive. Roof pitch, attic ventilation needs, snow load requirements, and local code amendments all affect material selection and installation methods. We coordinate with your general contractor or architect to ensure the roof system matches the building specifications.

Metal Roofing
We install 24-gauge and 26-gauge steel standing seam panels in Galvalume and pre-painted finishes. Concealed fastener clips allow the panels to expand and contract with temperature changes without stress on the fasteners. That's why standing seam doesn't leak. The clips float.

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 Mcdowell 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 Mcdowell. Tapered insulation eliminates it. FM 4473 rated systems available for hail-prone areas. Fully warranted by Carlisle, Firestone, or GAF.
