Louisville Roof Pros provides professional asphalt shingle roofs in Louisville, KY for residential and commercial properties across the Kentucky side of the Louisville metro. Asphalt shingle is the right covering for most Louisville roofs and we install a great deal of it. It is also wrong for a specific part of a great many Louisville houses, and being clear about where that line falls is most of what this page exists to do.
The line is slope. Shingle manufacturers rate their product down to four in twelve as a normal installation, and between two and four in twelve only with a doubled or fully adhered underlayment beneath it. Below two in twelve, no asphalt shingle is approved at all by anybody. A large number of houses here carry a rear addition or a porch roof sitting in exactly that range, and nobody mentions it at the quoting stage.
In practice that means the shingle quote for your house may correctly cover eighty percent of the roof area while the remaining twenty needs a different product entirely. We measure slope at the deck with an inclinometer rather than estimating it from the ground, and the shallow sections get priced as their own scope with their own material named on the page.
On the steep field our specification is straightforward and it goes in writing. Architectural laminate rated to ASTM D7158 Class H, synthetic underlayment, ice and water membrane in every valley and along the eaves, six nails per shingle set in the nail line, open metal valleys in twenty-six gauge rather than closed-cut, and a new boot on every penetration rather than a bead of sealant round the old one.
We push people away from the longest warranties. A fifty-year label on a laminate shingle describes a prorated material schedule and not a service life, and the transferable portion of it is short. The money separating a thirty-year product from a fifty-year one buys better eave metal and correctly sized outlets, and both of those affect how long your roof actually lasts far more than the label does.
Colour is yours to choose and we bring full boards rather than chips, because a three-inch sample tells you nothing useful about how a roof reads from across the street in flat light. What we will not do, on any slope and at any price, is overlay new shingles across an existing layer to avoid the cost and the skip hire of a tear-off.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — K-style aluminum gutter formed on site, oversized three-by-four downspout leaders, gutter apron behind the eave course, kick-out diverters at roof-to-wall terminations, soldered copper conductor heads, self-adhered modified bitumen on shallow planes — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Louisville and nearby communities including Jeffersontown, Mount Washington, St. Matthews, Shelbyville.

Materials, equipment and how we do asphalt shingle roofs
The difference between asphalt shingle roofs that lasts and asphalt shingle roofs that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with K-style aluminum gutter formed on site, oversized three-by-four downspout leaders, gutter apron behind the eave course, kick-out diverters at roof-to-wall terminations, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Louisville job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Kentucky side of the Louisville metro means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Louisville Chooses Louisville Roof Pros
- ✓We price the covering and the discharge as two separate scopes, because in this city they fail for different reasons and at different times.
- ✓Every gutter run is hose tested from the far end before we leave, so you watch it drain instead of reading about it.
- ✓We will tell you when the leak you called about is an outlet or a leader, and quote the eighty dollar fix rather than the roof.
- ✓Downspouts get routed to a storm sewer or above ground per MSD's discharge rules, never tied back into a sanitary line to save a trench.
